The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Coppell met in regular
session on May 17, 1979, at 8:00 p.m. in the Coppell High School Cafeteria.
The following members were present:
Foy Layton - Chairman
Geren Burton - Co -Chairman
Thomas Rainey - Commissioner
Commissioner Larry Wells was not present. Also present were Mayor Andrew
Brown, Jr., Mayor Pro Tem David Phillips, Councilman Roy Brock, Councilman
Glen White, Councilman Dale Ware, City Administrator James R. Elium, and
City Secretary Dorothy Timmons.
The meeting was called to order and a joint work session held between the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to discuss the criteria
for park land in the City. A proposed ordinance was presented for discussion.
This ordinance calls for dedication of land a cash payment in lieu of dedication
of land, or a combination of both from each developer wishing to develop in
the City. The cash payment is at the rate of $100 per lot and the dedication
of land is at least 2% of the total area of the development. Following
considerable discussion on this item, it was the consensus of both bodies
present that *the rate per lot be change to $150 and the words "...and,
other considerations, upon approval of the City Council." The reference to
dedication of 2% of the land area would be deleted. It is the intent of this
ordinance that a fee will be paid for future use to procure park site and/or
development, but if a developer so desires, he may dedicate land or other
considerations in lieu of a portion of the fee required. After further
discussion, it was decided that the developer would be required to pay 50%
or $75.00 when the final plat is accepted and 50% or $75.00 when each building
permit is taken out. Co -Chairman Burton then moved that the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommend that this ordinance be approved with the references
to 2% land being deleted, that the fee be changed to read $150 per lot, and that
the words "...and other considerations, upon approval of the City Council"
be added following the $150 per lot. The fees for townhouses. and multi-
familiy units would remain the same. Commissioner Rainey seconded the motion
which carried 3-0.
The meeting was then adjourned.
