DISCUSSION: Site Plan
This is a companion item to the RS Denton Tap 121 Addition, Lots 1 and
2, Block A, also on this agenda. The site plan for SRINI Coppell Office
located on Lot 1 identifies two proposed buildings – one at 13,081 square
feet and the other 13,267 square feet. Both buildings are proposed to
contain a mix of office and medical office uses. The parking would also
allow some retail potentially. The site will tie into Lot 2 which is not
proposed to be developed at this time, other than providing a drive aisle
with a mutual fire lane and access easement along the front of the property
that will allow it to connect to the other lots fronting SH 121. The site will
be accessible from both SH 121 and access easements to Denton Tap Road.
The proposed buildings will be 1-story and the site will contain 120 parking
spaces. A masonry screening wall will be required to be constructed
between this site and the residential property to the north. The screening
wall will be required to tie into the existing walls and will need to be
constructed prior to the building going vertical.
Landscape Plan
As designed, the Landscape Plan is compliant with the regulations of the
Landscape Ordinance. Overstory trees are being provided along the
perimeter of this site, in addition to keeping 16 existing trees and planting
30 new trees.
Building Elevations, Lighting & Signage
The building is approximately 30-ft in height with tower features located at
certain corners of the building being approximately 41-ft in height. All of
the facades have vertically oriented windows with metal awnings. Both
buildings match the proposed building on Lot 1, Block B, that was presented
last month. Certain facades have towers at the corners of the building. The
lower portion of the tower, below the cast stone watertable, is a stone
veneer. The portion above the watertable is a stucco veneer, with wood roof
brackets and a standing seam metal roof. The portions of the building in
between the towers alternate between matching the tower material or having
a stone veneer from the ground to the roofline. A Photometric Study and
lighting plan will include shielding of any pole lighting and will be reviewed
at the time of Building Permit. When asked about signage, the engineer
indicated that all signage for the site will comply with ordinance
requirements.

Staff is recommending APPROVAL of SRINI Coppell Office Site Plan, subject to the following
conditions:
1. There will be additional comments at the time of Detail Engineering Review and Building Permit.
