Item No. 3: Update on 121/LBJ Commercial Landowners Association
presented by Mark Huey.
Mr. Huey presented a map indicating land around the northwest side of
Coppell. He then explained the origin of this organization for the
purpose of improving this property to a developable state. The
initial meeting of some 35 landowners was held discussing the
organization and brainstorming ideas on how to finance the
improvements needed. Membership fees of $30.00/acre were asked for
to help finance engineering and legal fees involved with creating a
Public Improvement District. The Public Improvement District concept
was created by the Texas legislature in 1978. This concept: has been
used extensively in the western states. This area is made up of
3,300 acres. To form the P.I.D., 51% of landowners must be aligned.
Once the P.I.D. is formed easements can be dedicated for the road
improvements. Discussion was extensive on road placement. This
program could enhance all surrounding property values.
Huey discussed the 121 Highway improvement extensively and how design
affects access to Coppell's west end. Huey encouraged the Board to
get the major businessmen in Coppell involved in the Coppell Business
Association people like Don Carter, the Minyards, and Mark Connell.
These individuals have a positive impact on the development and
progress of Coppell.
Item No. 4: Discussion of Economic/Development Membership in the
Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce.
C.J. Webster commented that one of the main things that Coppell
should work on is streamlining the process. Webster quoted Folsom
Development as saying that they would not pursue development in
Coppell because the system was to cumbersome.
Mr. Webster presented the budget for the Metrocrest Chamber for
Economic Development activity as well as the budget for the entire
chamber. This year the economic development budget is actually half
of the 1987 budget.
Webster reviewed the budget and how the monies would be spent. The
activities that will be taking place are surveys of existing
businesses, relocation of business, advertising and travel promoting
business expansion of the United Kingdom. Research for a convention
center in the Addison and Parkway corridor along with mailing
information.
