ITEM 6 Page 2 of 3 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.
