PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
City of Coppell
Coppell, Texas
January 31, 1977
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on January 31, 1977, in the meeting
room at the First Bank of Coppell to consider a request by Mr. A.G. Rivers
for a zone change on approximately 40 acres south of Sandy Lake Road near
Allen Road from "R" Retail and "SF -12" to "SF -7" Single Family -7.
The following members were present:
Frank Fitzgerald, Chairman
Wayne Musgrave, Vice Chairman
Charles Williams
Harvey James
Charles Hitchcock was not present at the meeting. Also present was City
Administrator George Campbell.
The commission first considered the request of W.G. Thompson for a change
from "I-1" to"I-1" with a Specific Use Permit to extract approximately 230,000
cubic feet of sand. The hearing on this request had been held before the
Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on December 27, 1976. The city
administrator informed the commission that the city engineers had reviewed the
excavation plans of Mr. Cook and that they were not satisfied that the work
was designed to benefit the development potential of the property. The
Commission was also advised the plans were re -drawn to save the trees on
the property. The new plan still reflects an effort to excavate the sand and
is not designed primarily to improve the property for development, although
it would not damage the property for development purposes.
After consideration, the motion was made by Wayne Musgrave and seconded by
Charles Williams that the request be approved upon the following conditions:
1. The owner provide a bond to the city to insure that the excavation
is completed in accordance with the plans submitted by the applicant.
2. The owner and city sign a written agreement that the contractor hauling
sand from the city will use no streets in Coppell except S.H. 121.
Motion carried 4-0.
The commission then considered the request of Mr. A.G. Rivers to change the
zoning on approximately 40 acres south of Sandy Lake Road near Allen Road
from "R" Retail and "SF -12" to "SF -7". Following considerable discussion the
motion was made by Wayne Musgrave and seconded by Harvey James to approve the
request and recommend the change to the city council. Motion carried 4-0.
The meeting was then adjourned.
