DISCUSSION: Site Plan
The site plan for SRINI Coppell Retail identifies a 14,700 square foot retail
building. The site will tie into the adjacent LA Fitness lot to the east with a
connecting mutual access easement and fire lane along the front of the
property. The site will be accessible from both SH 121 and access
easements to Denton Tap Road. This is a companion item to the RS Denton
Tap 121 Addition, Lot 1, Block B, also on tonight’s agenda. The proposed
building will be 1-story and contains 76 parking spaces, a loading zone and
a drive-through lane for a possible dry-cleaning shop. As lots to the west
of this lot develop, they will all share a mutual access easement and fire lane
to Denton Tap Road. 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. Given that this property is less than two acres in
size, a recent a Landscape Ordinance amendment caps the site area required
to be devoted to landscaping 30%. This site is meeting that requirement.
Overstory trees are being provided along the entire perimeter of this site, in
addition to keeping four existing trees and planting 31 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. The two
facades visible from the street are the south and east facades, with the
entrance being located on the southern facade. All of the facades have
vertically oriented windows with metal awnings. Both the southern and
eastern 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.
