PROPOSED POLICY
FOR
BOARD AND COMMISSION INTERVIEWS
1. Dates for specific board and commission interviews will be established before we
open the application process. That schedule will be properly posted on Web sites, various mailings,
and printed communication, as well as the application form itself.
2. No makeups if an interviewee misses the specified date.
3. It is not mandatory for an incumbent to attend the interview. Language will be
included in the application process and on the application itself that strongly encourages them to
attend, and that will be reenforced by the board liaison.
4. A forced ranking shall be provided to the Council by the Councilmember(s)
conducting the interviews for a particular board and commission. If there is a tie, the ability to
appoint the nominee shall rest with the majority of Council after discussing it with the Council-
members who conducted the interviews.
5. The Council shall determine, after all applications are received, if they will interview
first choice only for any of the major boards such as P&Z, Park Board, Library Board and Economic
Development. (It is the practice of the Council to interview applicants for every board indicated on
their application. However, should any particular board receive a large number of applicants
designating that board as their first choice, the Council reserves the right to interview only those
selecting that board as their first choice.)
6. Two Councilmembers shall interview for each board except for the following:
Animal Control, Conduct Review, and Red Cross. (Note: Applicants for Special Counsel do not get
interviewed.)
7. The Mayor will appoint interviewers for each of the board and commissions
according to preferences selected, and previous appointments.
8. The application itself shall include a place for the applicant to state whether or not
they will participate in ad hoc committees or a citizen summit held throughout the fiscal year..
9. A letter will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service and email reminding citizens of
their interview date and requesting that they confirm that they have received notification by return
email or a call to the City Secretary office.

Subject: Re: B and C Interviews
Just some suggestions.. . .
ltem 4 Should we include language that in case of a lack of concensus among the interviewers the
Council will decide?
ltem 5 Include language informing applicants that applying for more than one Board MAY increase their
chances for serving?
Feel free to agree to disagree while maintaining compassion for my passion .....

Subject: Re: B and C Interviews
Hey! Why didn't I think of that?
An idea came to me post-meeting that might solve some of the issues we discussed (sorry, my brain
didn't work fast enough to bring it up at the meeting). Why not have three council members interview for
the "major" boards, i.e., p&Z, economic development, parks . . . . others?
Rationale:
1. More council members will have an opportunity to get one of their first picks.
2. Three council members will break any ties and not put any staff member in the middle.
3. Council members will have opportunity to meet more citizens; and know if applicants are better suited
for another board
they're interviewing for or other opportunities for service, maybe make for easier "horse-trading."
4. If one council member can't make it, still have two to hold interviews. Option to still find a third
interviewer.
5. Doug's life gets easier.
6. All of the above
No deliberation allowed, but think about it and we can discuss at future meeting.
(Wow! That Marsha - she's smarter than she looks)

PROPOSED
Old Coppell
Tax Incentive Policy
I. Location:
For the purpose of this incentive policy, Old Coppell is considered to be any land
generally located within the boundaries of the map attached as Appendix A.
II. Purpose:
The City of Coppell seeks to promote and develop Old Coppell through specialized
incentives that encourage new development as well as preservation and rehabilitation of
existing development. The development of Old Coppell will act as a tool for creating a
sense of place based on Coppell’s unique, natural and cultural assets. This
comprehensive policy for promoting physical revitalization and financial reinvestment in
Old Coppell is designed to attract visitors to the area, encourage preservation of existing
assets and add new and exciting uses to the vicinity.
The purpose of this policy is to provide general guidelines and application instructions
for proceeding through the incentive process in Old Coppell. Assessment for financial
assistance shall be on an individual basis; therefore, each incentive package will be
considered case-by-case and requires final approval from the Coppell City Council or
their designee. The total package of incentives is generally designed to enhance the
economic viability of awarded projects. This approach will allow the City the flexibility
necessary to satisfy the unique needs and concerns of each applicant and the needs and
concerns of the City and its citizens.
This policy does not imply or guarantee that the City of Coppell will provide tax
incentives to any applicant.
III. Criteria for Economic Development Incentives:
Incentives shall be awarded based on the degree to which the proposed project meets the
goals and objectives of the City for Old Coppell.
All projects must meet the following minimum criteria to be considered for any tax
incentives:
(1) Project must be compatible with the Old Coppell Master Plan and character of
Old Coppell in the sole opinion of City Council;
(2) Project must meet the minimum development standards and design guidelines
set forth in the Coppell Zoning Ordinance.
Additional criteria are listed for each type of available incentive.
Each applicant must complete the Old Coppell Incentive Application attached as
Appendix B and submit a site plan package with the application.
IV. Available Incentives:
Incentives may be granted for eligible facilities on all or a portion of the increased
taxable value of the property over the base year value.
Tax Abatements
Applicants may receive up to a 75% abatement of real and personal property taxes for a
maximum of 5 years. Duration and amount of abatement granted will be based upon
capital investment and impact of the project to the area. Abatements are limited to new
and/or improved property value. To qualify, the project must have a minimum combined
real property and business personal property investment of two-hundred thousand dollars.
Projects not meeting this criteria may still be considered and qualify for a smaller
incentive based upon City Council’s discretion.
Sales Tax Rebates
For businesses that generate sales tax revenue in the City of Coppell, a rebate of the
City’s portion of sales tax may be granted. Businesses must have a minimum of two-
hundred fifty thousand dollars in annual sales to qualify for the sales tax rebate incentive.
Up to 100% of the 1% collected by the City may be rebated for a maximum of 3 years.
Rebates will occur once per year during the month of April. Projects not meeting this
criteria may still be considered and qualify for a smaller incentive based upon City
Council’s discretion.
Fee Waivers
Projects that qualify may receive up to a 50% waiver of Roadway Facilities Impact Fees,
Building Permit Fees or both.
Development Incentive
The Development Incentive is designed to help spur development in Old Coppell.
Applicants can apply for a development incentive to receive reimbursement of typical
industry standard loan closing costs. Each applicant is limited to a maximum incentive of
$5,000 and will be approved on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for this incentive, the
applicant must use a lending institution located within the city limits of the City of
Coppell for financing on property, and the applicant must close on the property within 90
days of incentive approval from the City. The applicant must submit the closing cost
estimates at the time of incentive consideration. Once the applicant has closed on the
property and the loan, documentation must be provided from the Coppell lending
institution of choice showing actual closing costs. No reimbursements will be made until
the property is under construction and proper documentation has been provided.
Façade Grants
The City of Coppell has dedicated a pool of funds to aid in the rehabilitation and
restoration of the exterior facades of existing property in Old Coppell. The pool of funds
will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, and approved projects will be
awarded an amount equal to 50% of the actual costs to renovate the exterior façade. The
minimum project cost to be considered is $3,000. To qualify for a façade grant, exterior
façade renovations must include improvements such as appropriate windows, doors,
awnings/canopies, shutters and signage, and any other acceptable improvement - not
simply painting the exterior of the building. Projects may include rehabilitation to the
entire exterior façade, but to be considered for a grant, the aforementioned improvements
must also enhance the street appeal of the structure. Applicant must submit plans for
construction prior to the start of the project along with bids for the improvements. All
plans will need to be reviewed and approved by the Planning staff prior to
commencement of the project. If plans are rejected, the applicant has the right to appeal
to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The project must meet the standards for
construction stated within the Historic District of the Zoning Ordinance, the Old Coppell
Design Guidelines and other applicable codes. The applicant must begin the project
within 90 days of approval and must complete the project within 12 months after
commencing. Extensions can be approved on a case-by-case basis at the City’s
discretion. If approved for a grant, the City of Coppell will rebate 50% of construction
costs and material costs once an applicant has completed their structure. Applicant
should submit to the City of Coppell receipts at the end of the project, and the City will
issue reimbursement checks once per year during the month of April. Regardless of the
project cost, the total amount awarded will be capped at $25,000 per structure.

Consider approval of an ordinance amending Article 8-3. Parking, Section 8-3-1. B. of the Code of Ordinances for the
City of Coppell by changing the times for no parking on certain streets in certain school zones; and authorizing the

Approval of this ordinance will adjust the times for no parking on certain streets in certain school zones in the mornings
to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and in the afternoons to 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

No Parking School Zones
MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE:February 13, 2007
REF: Consider approval of an ordinance amending Article 8-3. Parking, Section 8-3-
1. B. of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Coppell by changing the times
for no parking on certain streets in certain school zones; and authorizing the
Mayor to sign.
Recently, the City of Coppell Engineering Department was contacted by a school crossing guard
that stated, with the ever-changing start times for elementary schools and middle schools, the
current restricted no parking times for certain streets was not adequate.
Currently, the ordinance restricts parking adjacent to Mockingbird Elementary/Coppell Middle
School East, Austin Elementary School, and Lee Elementary School for a period from 7:30 a.m.
to 8:30 a.m. and from 2:15 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. The problem is that the start time for the
elementary school is now 7:50 a.m. and the start time for the middle school is 7:40 a.m. Given
those earlier start times, children are walking to the schools prior to 7:30 a.m. in the morning.
The safety concern is that cars are parking adjacent to the curbs prior to 7:30 a.m. to drop off
children and by doing so the cars are restricting the visibility of the children that may be crossing
the street.
My initial approach was to just remove the times all together from the ordinance and state "as
posted on the street signs". However, all the other streets, by ordinance, are either restricted "at
all times" or "for a certain time". Therefore, my recommendation would be to restrict the
morning hours from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and the afternoon hours from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This creates a very large window both before and after school where no cars will be allowed to
park adjacent to the schools. This will create a safer visual corridor for drivers to see children
walking to school.
Staff recommends approval of an ordinance changing the "No parking on certain streets in
certain school zones" time to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Staff will
be available to answer any questions at the council meeting.

ORDINANCE
Consider approval of an ordinance amending Article 8-1. Speed of Vehicles, Section 8-1-3. Speed on specific streets.
of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Coppell by establishing 40 miles per hour as the maximum prima facie speed
limit on Sandy Lake Road, between MacArthur Blvd. and the east city limits; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Approval of this ordinance will allow the recently constructed 4-lane divided roadway, East Sandy Lake Road, to be
posted at 40 mph, between MacArthur Blvd. and the east city limits.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the council meeting.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance changing the speed
limit to 40 miles per hour on East Sandy Lake Road, between
MacArthur Blvd. and the east city limit line.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
DATE:February 13, 2007
REF: Consider approval of an ordinance amending Article 8-1. Speed of Vehicles,
Section 8-1-3. Speed on specific streets. of the Code of Ordinances for the City
of Coppell by establishing 40 miles per hour as the maximum prima facie
speed limit on Sandy Lake Road, between MacArthur Blvd. and the east city
limits; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
The improvements to East Sandy Lake Road are nearing completion from a two-lane asphalt
road to a four-lane divided boulevard. Because the contractor opened up all four lanes while
finishing some of the minor items associated with the project, the City took the opportunity to
perform a 'Volume and Speed Study' to determine the correct speed limit on Sandy Lake Road,
from MacArthur Blvd. to its east city limit line.
On January 10, 2007, 'Volume and Speed Surveys' were taken at two locations along Sandy Lake
Road for both eastbound and westbound traffic. The first location was between MacArthur Blvd.
and Starleaf and the results showed the eastbound 85th percentile speed to be 44.9 mph and the
westbound 85th percentile speed to be 47.6 mph. A second location, between Riverview and the
Elm Fork of the Trinity River, also was evaluated. The results showed the eastbound 85th
percentile speed to be 46.4 mph and the westbound 85th percentile speed to be 48.4 mph.
If the speed limits were strictly set on the 85th percentile speeds, a 45-mph speed limit would
probably be recommended. However, when you take into account that the speed limit on Sandy
Lake Rd. in Carrollton, immediately to the east of this area is 40 mph and the speed limit on
Sandy Lake Rd. in Coppell, immediately to the west of this area is 40 mph, it makes sense for
this area to also be 40 mph. There is also a school near the intersection of MacArthur Blvd. and
Sandy Lake Rd. and residential developments such as St. Joseph's, Riverview Estates, Trinity
Shores, River Ridge Addition and Eagle Point at Riverchase in close proximity to the south side
of Sandy Lake Road. Also, several developers have expressed an interest in developing
residential on the north side of Sandy Lake Rd.
Considering all these factors, it is my recommendation that the speed limit on East Sandy Lake
Road, from MacArthur Blvd. to the east city limits, be set at 40 mph.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the council meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING
Consider approval of Case No. PD-221-HC, Duke Lesley Addition, zoning change request from HC (Highway
Commercial) to PD-221-HC (Planned Development-221-Highway Commercial) to allow for tilt-wall construction and
additional attached signage on the office buildings that are 50,000-square-feet or larger and to allow for the
development of mixed uses, including retail, office, and hotel on a total of 78.5 acres of property located at the
northwest corner of IH-635 and South Beltline Road.
The following condition applies:
1) On the PD Conditions, Section 8 Building Signage shall read as follows:
For buildings in excess of 50,000-square feet, signage shall be limited to a maximum of 600-square-feet per
building with no more than two signs on any one building facade.
On January 18, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended
APPROVAL of this zoning change request (7-0), subject to the
above-mentioned condition, with Commissioners Borchgardt, Frnka,
Kittrell, McCaffrey, Haas, Fox and Reese voting in favor. None
opposed.
Staff recommends APPROVAL.

P&Z HEARING DATE: January 18, 2007
C.C. HEARING DATE: February 13, 2007
STAFF REP.: Gary L. Sieb, Planning Director
LOCATION: At the northwest corner of IH-635 and Beltline Road
SIZE OF AREA: 78.5 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: HC (Highway Commercial)
REQUEST: Zoning change from HC (Highway Commercial) to PD-221-HC
(Planned Development-221-Highway Commercial) to allow tilt-
wall construction and additional attached signage on office
buildings that are 50,000-square-feet or larger and to allow the
development of mixed uses, including retail, office and hotel on a
total of 78.5 acres of property.
APPLICANT: Duke Realty

5495 Beltline Road
Suite 360
Dallas, Texas 75254
(972) 361-6700
Fax: (972) 361-6800
HISTORY: Council approved a zoning change on this portion of the Leslie
tract from A (Agriculture) to HC (Highway Commercial) on
December 12, 2006. At the same time, a plat was approved on the
entire 184-acre parcel to construct two major streets through the
property. Also at that time, the applicant indicated that a second
ITEM # 5 Page 1 of 3
zoning request to Planned Development would be made on 78
acres of the overall site in early 2007.
TRANSPORTATION: Beltline Road is a P6D major thoroughfare built to standard in a
120-foot right-of-way. LBJ Freeway is an interstate highway built
to federal highway guidelines. The extension of Dividend Drive, a
C4U, is being constructed through this property and will be a four-
lane undivided roadway contained within a 90-foot right-of-way.
A second road, Point West Boulevard, is also under construction
here and will be a local street of 32-feet width contained within a
50-foot right-of-way with five-foot easements along each side.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North –middle school and warehousing; LI (Light Industrial)
South –developing commercial; City of Irving
East – vacant; A (Agriculture)
West – office, developing commercial; LI (Light Industrial), City of Irving
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as
suitable for freeway office and commercial uses.
DISCUSSION: As indicated in the HISTORY section of this report, the applicant
indicated to Council during the initial A to LI and HC zoning hearing that
he would be filing a zoning change from HC to PD to allow tilt-wall
construction (HC zoning does not allow it) and request that buildings over
50,000-square feet be allowed to have additional signage. The area
changing to PD, which would allow these conditions, basically runs south
of the extension of Dividend Drive and includes 78 of the 184-acre parcel.
The conceptual plans of building elevations submitted with this
application show structures that, although tilt-wall, depict some
imagination in their design and can be supported by staff.
The uses proposed to be allowed in the PD are currently recognized in the
Zoning Ordinance, and are generally allowed in more restrictive zoning
districts than the requested PD-HC. Hence, staff has no objection to their
inclusion in the PD document.
The applicant has also asked to modify our signage regulations in this
project. Basically, business zoning allows a maximum of 300-square feet
of signage per building. What this applicant proposes in his PD conditions
is four separate signs up to 300-square feet for each building over 50,000-
square feet in size. That seems a bit excessive, and the applicant will have
to justify this request at the Public Hearing.
ITEM # 5 Page 2 of 3
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request as it relates to a change of zoning
from HC (Highway Commercial) to Planned Development regarding tilt-wall
construction. We have some misgivings regarding the extent to which the applicant
wishes to alter our normal signage requirements. Although he wishes to limit the
additional signage to buildings over 50,000-square feet, we have any number of buildings
larger than that which conform to our current regulations with no apparent problem.
Unless staff has missed something here, the applicant will have to justify this condition to
the Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

PUBLIC HEARING
Consider approval of Case No. PD-220-SF-12, Alexander Court, to amend the land use designation on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Neighborhood Retail to Residential Low Density on approximately four acres of
property along Denton Tap Road and a zoning change request from C (Commercial) to PD-220-SF-12 (Planned
Development-220 Single Family-12), with a Detail Site Plan, to allow the development of 26 single-family homes on
approximately 18+ acres of property located at the northwest corner of Bethel and Denton Tap Roads.
The following conditions shall be addressed prior to approving an Ordinance to establish this PD and prior to
submission of a Final Plat for this property:
(PLEASE SEE THESE CONDITIONS ON THE NEXT PAGE)
On January 18, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended
APPROVAL of the Land Use amendment and zoning change request
(7-0), subject to the nine conditions, with Commissioners Borchgardt,
Frnka, Kittrell, McCaffrey, Haas, Fox and Reese voting in favor. None
opposed.
Staff recommends APPROVAL.
@2PD-220, Alexander Ct. 1-AR
Agenda Narrative Form - Revised 1/99
CONDITIONS RELATING TO PD-220-SF-12, ALEXANDER COURT:
1) Establish all common areas as separately platted “X” lots of sufficient size to assure that all common area
improvements (walls and landscaping) are within those lots, and adjust lot sizes accordingly.
x These appear to be established; however, no two drawings match (Site Plan, Landscape Plan,
hand drawn, “Rock Wall Center Line” plan and Screen Wall Entry Features Exhibit) in terms
of location of wall, materials used and wall heights.
2) Relocate the proposed wall along Denton Tap Road to the west side of the existing sanitary
sewer easements and revise Concept Landscape Plan and common area lot accordingly.
x It appears conceptually to be O.K., except the north end of the fence needs to angle in towards
property to provide access to existing manhole. The sidewalk needs to be revised from 4’ to 5’
in width.
3) Complete the Tree Survey/Mitigation Plan as required in Sec. 12-34-2 of the Zoning Ordinance, and
compare to the Bethel Road Improvement Plans.
x Corrected retribution calculations are attached, per John Elias. Additional surveying of trees in
the creek area that are to be preserved could potentially reduce the $18,700 fee. Also the
Landscape Plan needs to be sealed by a Landscape Architect.
4) Submission of HOA documents to assure perpetual maintenance of all common areas.
x No applicable documents submitted, and the notes on Plat/Site Plan need to be revised –
including, but not limited to, deletion of “homeowners will be assessed $500 on Jan 15th”,
easement wording needs to be added and spelling errors need to be corrected.
5) Resolve the conflicts with the size of the property and the boundary of proposed Lot 8.
x Need to verify size of property.
x Adding a PD condition which states “In the event that the Lot 8 property line is relocated, then
this portion of the property shall be rezoned and replatted.”
6) Revise the name of the entry street -- Enclave is an existing street in the City of Coppell.
x See attached memo from Tim Oates, Fire Marshal – Alexander Court needs to be changed…
conflict with existing Alex Drive. Ruth Way is O.K.
7) Add notation to the areas outlined in the cul-de-sacs and at the entry drive that it is enhanced paving.
x Note added, but due to it being in the street right-of-way, needs to be stamped concrete and
approved by the Engineering Department. Enhanced paving will not be permitted at the
intersection of Ruth Way and Bethel.
8) The preliminary construction plans for Bethel Road show a grade differential adjacent to Lots 21, 22, and
26. Please be advised that prior to the installation of the screening wall and the development of those
lots, the correct grade that matches the Bethel Road plans will need to be established.
9) Park Development Fees in the amount of $1,285.00 per lot.

ITEM # 6 Page 1 of 6
HISTORY: In 2003 staff initiated several rezonings and Comprehensive Land Use Plan
amendments to provide consistency between the built environment, the
Land Use Plan and the Zoning Map. With this tract in particular, staff
initiated a Land Use Plan Amendment from Neighborhood Retail to Low
Density Single Family and a rezoning from Commercial to Single Family-
12 on approximately 14 acres, leaving the remaining four acres of frontage
along Denton Tap Road for non-residential uses. At that time the property
owners opposed the rezoning, but did accept the amendment to the Land
Use Plan.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D divided major arterial built to standard in
a 150’ right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – SF-12 (Single-family)
South– PD-108-SF-9 (Single-family), and PD-108-LI (Light Industrial undeveloped
property), H (Historic park land)
East – R (Retail – hair salon)
West – SF-12 (Single-family)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the eastern portion
(approximately four acres) of the property as suitable for
Neighborhood Retail and the western portion (approximately
14 acres) for Residential, Low Density.
DISCUSSION: The applicant has recently purchased this former homestead of the
Alexander family and desires to subdivide this property into 26 large
single-family lots. The applicant stated that they intend to sell these
developed lots to David Weekly Homes, who will build their
“Custom Classic Series”, with minimum house size of 4,000-square
feet. Some price ranges will exceed one million dollars. While this
land use and requested rezoning is fully supported by staff, there are
significant technical issues which must be addressed prior to
consideration by Council. Typically, staff would not forward this
request even for the Planning and Zoning Commission’s
recommendation until many, if not all, of these issues have been
resolved, but the applicant stated that timing is a major issue and a
delay would have a devastating effect on the project. It is assumed
that once these technical issues are fully addressed, the plan will not
be essentially different, except that the establishment of common
area lots will reduce buildable lot sizes (all should still exceed
ITEM # 6 Page 2 of 6
12,000-square feet), and there will be revisions to the perimeter
landscaping and tree mitigation plans.
COMMON AREAS/ “X LOTS”/HOA DOCUMENTS
During the initial review of this request, staff explained to the
applicant that the landscape buffer areas, including the screening
walls and landscaping along Denton Tap and Bethel Roads, as
required in the Streetscape and Zoning Ordinances, need to be
platted as separate common area (X) lots to assure perpetual
maintenance of these areas, without burdening the individual
homeowners and/or the City. This has yet to be done. These areas
are still shown as easements, with a note that they will maintained by
the HOA. However, it has been the City’s experience, especially
when these areas affect multiple homeowners, that long-term
maintenance becomes very problematic. The establishment of these
common area lots will affect the size of the abutting lots; however,
they should still exceed the 12,000-square-foot minimum required.
The draft HOA documents submitted by the applicant were
inadequate and actually conflicted with some aspects of the Zoning
Ordinance, and, therefore, need to be revised and resubmitted. On
January 11, 2007, the applicant submitted a draft set of David
Weekly HOA documents for a project in Dallas, also not applicable
for this project.
CONCEPT LANDSCAPE PLAN
Denton Tap Road -
Parallel to Denton Tap Road are 20- and 25-foot wide sanitary sewer
easements. The Engineering Department (see attached) will not
permit a screening wall within those easements. Therefore, the
required screening wall needs to be moved to the west side of those
easements, effectively increasing the landscape buffer area
(Common Area Lot) from 15- to 20/25-feet in depth. This revision
also needs to be reflected on the Concept Landscape Plan.
Bethel Road -
There are issues with the tree survey/mitigation plan and the
proposed landscape buffer/screening wall/common area lot along
Bethel Road. First, as drawn, the required screening wall undulates,
and some portions appear to be either on the easement line or totally
outside of the easement, which would not allow for HOA
maintenance of the wall. This easement needs to be a common area
lot, wide enough to accommodate all proposed walls and
landscaping. Second, the Tree Removal Plan appears to indicate that
approximately 35 trees east of the proposed main entry street will
remain. However, those trees are actually within the R.O.W. for
Bethel Road. A table of trees to remain and to be removed, as required
ITEM # 6 Page 3 of 6
in Sec. 12-34-2 of the Zoning Ordinance, must also be included. This
list of preserved/removed trees needs to be compared to the Bethel
Road improvement plans.
Finally, the Concept Landscape Plan is not compliant with Section
12-33-1.8 of the Zoning Ordinance which states that over-story trees
should be provided between 25- and 50-feet on-center. The plan
indicates that some trees could potentially be preserved along the
western portion of the site; however, as designed, there are no over-
story (street trees) planned for the remainder of Bethel Road and all
of Denton Tap Road. At a minimum, 9 to 15 over-story trees need to
be provided along Denton Tap and approximately the same number
along Bethel Road, depending on how many existing trees can be
preserved.
CONFLICTS IN PROPERTY BOUNDARIES/ACERAGE
Another significant issue relates to the property description and
potential conflicts with an abutting property owner. The initial
application indicated that the property in question is an 18.7-acre
tract of land. The legal description submitted on the site plan and
preliminary plat indicated that this property is 18.277 acres in size.
The legal description on the most recent submission states that the
property is actually 18.423 acres in size. In addition, the property
owner to the west reviewed the site plan and stated that it appears a
portion of the proposed Lot 8 is actually his land. These boundary
line issues need to be resolved prior to legally establishing the PD
Zoning and/or approving a plat for this land.
MINOR AND DRAFTING ISSUES
The following issues are minor in nature, but need to be corrected:
1) Revise the name of the entry street, Enclave is an existing
street in the City of Coppell
2) Add notation to the areas outlined in the cul-de-sacs and at
the entry drive that it is enhanced paving.
3) Revise the Legend to reflect the symbols actually used on the
site plan.
4) Correctly note/and or verify the minimum 85-foot lot width
on all lots, if any lots are less than 85-feet wide, list width
and lot numbers as a PD Condition.
5) Revise note #3 from “site” easements to “sight” easements at
intersections.
6) Revise note #1 – Requested Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance to : “ Minimum front and rear building lines shall
be as indicated on the individual lots”
7) Add a note indicating that “No building permits shall be
issued for Lots 7 through 17 until a LOMA or a LOMR is
received, and these lots are replatted to indicate the revised
ITEM # 6 Page 4 of 6
flood plain line, unless the Final Plat is not filed until the
revision to the flood plain line is approved by FEMA as
prescribed herein.”
8) Update Table of Lot sizes once common area lots are
defined.
Given the number and severity of some of these development
concerns, to reiterate, staff would normally either recommend denial
or not bring this case forward to Planning Commission until most, if
not all, of these issues were addressed. However, the applicant had
requested that this case proceed, and staff is in support of this use.
However, this case will not be placed on City Council’s agenda until
these issues have been satisfactorily resolved (or addressed).
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT
As mentioned in the HISTORY Section, this property, as well as
most properties fronting Denton Tap Road, have been envisioned on
the Future Land Use Plan for retail/office uses. However, given the
limited access to this property from Denton Tap Road and the
limited visibility given the close proximity of the bridge makes
commercial development problematic. Therefore, it is reasonable to
eliminate the non-residential uses along Denton Tap Road in support
of this residential plan, which has lots backing to Denton Tap Road,
with a screening wall and wide landscape buffer.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of an amendment to the Land Use Plan on
approximately four acres from Neighborhood Retail to Low Density Residential and a
zoning change from C to PD-220-SF-12, subject to the following conditions:
1) Establish all common areas as separately platted “X” lots, of sufficient
size to assure that all common area improvements (walls and
landscaping) are within those lots, and adjust lot sizes accordingly.
2) Relocate the proposed wall along Denton Tap Road to the west side of
the existing sanitary sewer easements and revise Concept Landscape
Plan and common area lot accordingly.
3) Complete the Tree Survey/Mitigation Plan as required in Sec. 12-34-2 of
the Zoning Ordinance, and compare to the Bethel Road Improvement
Plans.
4) Revise the Concept Landscape Plan to indicate over-story (street trees)
along Denton Tap and Bethel Roads, where trees are not being otherwise
preserved.
5) Submission of HOA documents to assure perpetual maintenance of all
common areas.
6) Resolve the conflicts with the size of the property and the boundary of
proposed Lot 8.
7) Correct the eight (8) items listed under MINOR AND DRAFTING
ISSUES.

ITEM #7 Page 1 of 3
HISTORY: In 2003 staff initiated several rezonings and Comprehensive Land Use Plan
amendments to provide consistency between the built environment, the
Land Use Plan and the Zoning Map. With this tract in particular, staff
initiated a Land Use Plan amendment from Neighborhood Retail to Low
Density Single Family and a rezoning from Commercial to Single Family-
12 on approximately 14 acres, leaving the remaining four acres of frontage
along Denton Tap Road for non-residential uses. At that time the property
owners opposed the rezoning, but did accept the amendment to the Land
Use Plan.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D divided major arterial built to standard
in a 150’ right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – SF-12 (Single-family)
South– PD-108-SF-9 (Single-family), and PD-108-LI (Light Industrial -
undeveloped property), H (Historic park land)
East – R (Retail – hair salon)
West – SF-12 (Single-family)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the eastern portion
(approximately four acres) of the property as suitable for
Neighborhood Retail and the western portion
(approximately 14 acres) for Residential, Low Density.
DISCUSSION: The Preliminary Plat is essentially identical to the Site Plan/Zoning Exhibit
discussed in the previous case. Therefore, approval of this preliminary plat
will be subject to many of the same conditions, except that additional
conditions from the Engineering and Fire Departments relating to the
Utility Plan have been added.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Alexander Court, Lots 1-26,
Block A, Preliminary Plat, subject to the following conditions:
1) Establish all common areas as separately platted “X” lots,
of sufficient size to assure that all common area
improvements (walls and landscaping) are within those
lots, and adjust lot sizes accordingly.
2) Update Table of Lot sizes once common areas lots are
defined.
ITEM #7 Page 2 of 3
3) Submission of HOA documents to assure perpetual
maintenance of all common areas.
4) Resolve the conflicts with the size of the property and the
boundary of proposed Lot 8.
5) Revise the name of the entry street, Enclave is an existing
street in the City of Coppell
6) Add PD Conditions to Preliminary Plat as herein revised.
7) Correctly note and/or verify the minimum 85-foot lot
width on all lots, if any lots are less than 85-feet wide, list
width and lot numbers as a PD Condition.
8) Revise note #1 – Requested Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance to: “ Minimum front and rear building lines
shall be as indicated on the individual lots”
9) Revise “site” easements to “sight” easements at
intersections.
10) Add a note indicating that “No building permits shall be
issued for Lots 7 through 17 until a LOMA or a LOMR is
received, and these lots are replatted to indicate the revised
flood plain line, unless the Final Plat is not filed until the
revision to the flood plain line is approved by FEMA as
prescribed herein.”
11) Attached Department comments relating to easements,
water lines, fire hydrant placement, etc.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request

HISTORY: The proposed lot, Lot 3, Block 1, was included in an 8.38 acre, seven-lot
Preliminary Plat approved on January 13, 2004. Concurrent with that
approval was a Final Plat and Site Plan for the first lot, Lot 2, Block 1, to be
developed as a professional office. It has since been replatted to provide
additional parking for a medical office use, construction has been completed,
and the building is occupied.
ITEM # 8 Page 1 of 3
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D divided major arterial built to standard in a
150’ right-of-way. Construction of State Highway 121 has recently
been completed as a 140’ six-lane divided tollway facility within a
450’ right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - residential; PD-134R-SF7 (Planned Development-134 Revised-
Single Family-7)
South - vacant and residential; PD-133-R-HC and SF-9 (Planned
Development 133-Revised-Highway Commercial and Single
Family-9)
East - medical office; HC (Highway Commercial)
West - vacant; HC (Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The submitted Site Plan shows the layout of an 8,290-square-foot office
on 1.23 (+/-) acres of property. This lot is located approximately 1,400’
west of Denton Tap Road and is the second lot to be developed of a larger
seven-lot office subdivision, preliminary platted in 2004.
There is a fire lane and a common access easement shown extending from
the east, providing access to this property. It encircles the building and
then extends to the lot west of this proposal. The northern boundary of the
property is to be screened with a six-foot solid masonry wall and a 10’-
wide landscape buffer area. The applicant is proposing four Shumard Oaks
and 12 Austrian Pines, well exceeding the six required trees for this area.
This will better screen the site from the residential uses to the north and
continue with the landscaping already in place to the east.
The parking ratio of one space per 300-square-feet of building area is
applicable to this proposed professional office use. The applicant has
provided 39 parking spaces, exceeding the minimum parking requirement
of 28. Four of the parking spaces depicted on the plan are not included
within these calculations, as they are currently included with the
calculations of the adjacent property to the east.
The building will duplicate what was built on the adjacent lot to the east.
It will have two doors and signage on each elevation, except the rear. The
materials to be used consist of a brownish red brick veneer on each
elevation with stone on the bottom two to three feet of the front and side
elevations. The wood columns on the front (south elevation) are to be
ITEM # 8 Page 2 of 3
painted an off-white color. Dark navy blue awnings are proposed above
each window. A monument sign is shown on the Site Plan with details
shown on the elevations. It will need to be reduced in size to 4’x10’ per
the Zoning Ordinance, as this lot is less than two acres in area. It is
suggested that this sign be perpendicular to the frontage road to provide
greater visibility, but this is not a requirement of the Ordinance. Also
shown on the elevations is the six foot solid masonry wall. It has columns
shown every 10’ and will match that on the adjacent property to the east.
There are only minor technical items remaining, and these are outlined
below within the conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) Revise the Landscape Plan to show six trees required along the
northern property line (one tree per 40’).
2) Reduce the size of the proposed monument sign to 4’x10’ and consider
placing it perpendicular to the street.
3) Compliance with the Fire Department comments shown on the
attached departmental comment sheet.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

therefore, filing will be required in both counties.
There are several existing easements and four to be dedicated by this plat.
There is an existing 10’ Coserv (electric) easement adjacent to the
northern property line, a 20’ TUEC & Coserv (electric) easement abutting
the S.H. 121 right-of-way and a 40’ drainage easement on the southeastern
section of the lot. Directly to the north of the 40’ drainage easement is an
existing 20’ utility easement proposed to be extended to the west. An
existing 20’ utility easement on the north side of the building is also
proposed to be extended to the west. Finally, a 20’ drainage easement,
located within the front yard parking area, and a 24’ fire lane and mutual
access easement, encircling the building and providing a connection
between the adjacent lots, are proposed. As with the Site Plan request,
there are only minor technical items to be addressed, and these are
outlined below in the conditions of approval.

RESOLUTION
Consider approval of a Resolution to support legislation in the Texas Legislature requiring mandatory disclosure of real
property sales prices to appraisal districts to ensure the fair and equitable valuation and taxation of all real property in
the State of Texas and authorizing the Mayor to sign.

RE: Sales Disclosure Resolution
Dear «Dear»
On October 4, 2006, the Dallas Central Appraisal District unanimously passed the attached resolution to
encourage the Texas Legislature to enact legislation mandating the disclosure of real property sales prices.
We believe that mandatory real property sales disclosure is sound public policy. In order for appraisal
districts to accurately and equitably value real property, sales price information is a necessary tool. The lack
of sales price information has distorted property values for certain classes of property, most notably
commercial real estate, and shifted the tax burden to middle class residential property owners. Commercial
sales and sales of high-end residential properties are for the most part unavailable on a voluntary basis. The
appraisal district for the most part is put in a position of not knowing the sales prices or finding out about the
sales price too late in the year to reflect current market value. In addition, the information that we do receive
through third party sources is many times inaccurate and causes us to arrive at incorrect values. This
situation can be solved with the mandatory disclosure of real property sales prices. Texas is one of five states
in the country that does not have some kind of disclosure law in place.
Another compelling reason for the passage of sales disclosure is the potential revenue gains to the taxing
jurisdictions that will result from more accurate appraisals. The three charts below are a summary of the
Comptroller’s Final Findings for the 2003 and 2004 Property Value Study and the 2005 Preliminary
Findings for the Property Value Study.

Totals $1,385,234,853,430 $1,425,042,245,191 -$39,807,391,761
As you can see the Comptroller’s estimate of value is $96,992,481,388 higher than the values as reported.
The categories that mandatory sales disclosure would affect most are Categories A (single family), B (multi-
family), C (vacant lots), D (rural acreage), and F1 (commercial real). The loss in value for these five
categories by year is as follows:
Category 2003 2004 2005
Category A: Single Family $14,073,000,148 $10,989,233,638 $18,924,053,689
Category B: Multi-Family $2,260,711,893 $3,630,140,641 $2,471,209,051
Category C: Vacant Lots $1,065,034,496 $1,299,865,411 $1,482,986,822
Category D: Rural Acreage $893,779,948 $1,158,405,749 $1,872,512,903
Category F1: Comm. Real $7,372,189,090 $14,002,645,188 $15,692,702,456
TOTAL $25,664,715,575 $31,080,290,627 $40,443,464,921
The average statewide combined property tax rate for all taxing units as calculated based on the
Comptroller’s data was $2.39 per hundred dollars of value in 2003 and $2.41 per hundred dollars of value in
2004. The average 2005 rates have not yet been released. For purposes of this illustration we will use $2.40
per hundred dollars of value as the average rate for all three years. If lack of sales disclosure has caused
value to escape taxation the amount of revenue lost for the last three years would be:
Tax Year Value Lost Avg. Tax Rate Lost Revenue
2003 $25,664,715,575 $2.40/100 $615,953,174
2004 $31,080,290,627 $2.40/100 $745,926,975
2005 $40,443,464,921 $2.40/100 $970,643,158
TOTAL $101,789,621,885 $2.40/100 $2,332,523,307
As you can see by the illustration above, almost $2.33 billion in tax revenue would be generated by the
passage of sales disclosure. With the current shortfalls in many taxing unit budgets this revenue source
cannot be ignored.
Currently Senator Jeff Wentworth and Representative Mike Villarreal, both of San Antonio, have indicated
they will introduce sales disclosure legislation in the 2007 Regular Session. The Texas Association of
Appraisal Districts is working closely with the Legislature to move this issue forward during the 2007
Regular Session. Most local realtors have indicated their support for sales disclosure.
In order to bring this issue to the attention of the Legislature we need your help. Attached to this letter is a
copy of the same resolution that was passed by the DCAD Board of Directors. The resolution has been
reworded for your taxing jurisdiction. To show your support for this important issue we would like your
governing body to pass this resolution. Once passed, please send a copy of your resolution to my attention
and it will be forwarded to members of the Legislature to show them the support that exists for this issue.
Please present this resolution to your governing body as soon as is practical. The staff at DCAD and I stand
ready to answer any questions concerning this issue that you or your governing body may have. We
appreciate your time and consideration on this important issue and look forward to your support on this
matter.
Very truly yours,

SALES DISCLOSURE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, with the passage of the Property Tax Code by the Texas Legislature in
1979, all property is to be valued at fair market value; and
WHEREAS, the Property Tax Code requires the application of generally accepted
appraisal methods and techniques; and
WHEREAS, appraisal districts in Texas must apply the techniques in compliance with
the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice; and
WHEREAS, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and the Property
Tax Code require the use of three methods of appraisal; the cost approach, the income
approach, and the market data approach; and
WHEREAS, these three approaches to value require the use of real property sales data;
and
WHEREAS, this data is mostly unavailable to appraisal districts in Texas; and
WHEREAS, the unavailability of sales data causes the inequitable undervaluation of
commercial properties; and
WHEREAS, this inequitable undervaluation of commercial property unfairly shifts the
burden of taxation to homeowners; and
WHEREAS, the State of Texas and all taxing entities are losing billions of dollars in
potential revenue due to the undervaluation of commercial properties; and
WHEREAS, Texas is one of only five states that does not require mandatory sales price.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Coppell calls on the
Governor of the State of Texas and our representatives in the Texas Legislature to adopt
legislation requiring the mandatory disclosure of real property sales prices to appraisal
districts to ensure the fair and equitable valuation and taxation of all real property in the
State of Texas
