Dear Mayor Brown and Members of the City Council:
Although it is not a part of the Zoning Ordinance granting
the zoning on the 766.1 acre property known as "The Parks of Coppell"~
we agree to limit the cumulative density within the property to a
maximum of 6,960 dwelling units.
In the event smaller portions of the property are developed
by others than ourselves, deed restrictions will be imposed on others
to assure that throughout the entire tract the cumulative number of
dwellings permitted will not exceed 6,960. Also, within any zoning
classification we will be limited to those densities permitted in
your existing ordinance.
Should you have additional questions or need further
information or clarification, please advise us.
Very truly yours,
THE PARKS OF COPPELL
~Gl~n A. Hinckley
