Chairman Smedul called the meeting to order. He stated that
there had been some concern by Council as to the Towne Center
focus of the Community, and then introduced Glen Hinkley and

that in ten (10) years the Towne Center will be the main
"Downtown" of the City. They feel there is no hurry and that
we must be willing to accept a long term idea. They have
studied downtown areas in other cities and feel this is a new
approach that has not taken place elsewhere yet.

slide presentation of an area he developed the way Univest is
wanting to develop the City of Coppell Towne Center Area. Mr.
Hinkley stated that Mr. Hodges had won a national award for
the area he developed in Austin.
Following discussion, it was the concesus of the Commission
that the Towne Center focus of the City is still legitimate.

they had with areas in the proposed plan:
