Artisan Landscape-PS 970717 INTRODUCTION
Good evening, Commission, Staff, Friends & Neighbors
My name is Brian Sandleback. I'm
· The proud father of a 2 & 1/2 year old son
· A proud one-time husband of 15 years.
· I've been a proud resident and property owner here in Coppell for the past 12
years, residing at 407 Cooper Lane
· I founded my company, Artisan Landscaping here in Coppell 10 years ago
· I'm a Degreed Agriculturist with a minor in Biology and a Texas Master
Certified Nurseryman
My purpose here today is to prove to you that it is in the best interest of not only Howell and
Bullock Drive, but our community as a whole to issue Artisan Landscape, Inc. its'
Commercial-SUP status.
BODY
Due to the previous tenants that inhabited this property, 832 Howell has been a disgrace
to our community for the past 3 - 3 & 1/2 years.
· There has been a highly visible Dumpster blocking the alley overflowing with
filth
· They have had numerous broken down old trailers stacked high with dangerous
jagged debris blocking traffic and littering nearby properties
· The old existing 6' fence continually deteriorates
· The building itself is at a point of decay and the grounds have not been properly
maintained
I want to chan~,e all of this!
Not only have I listened to the D.R.C. and P & Z staff, but I have met and exceeded
their requirements. More importantly, I've listened to my future neighbors and I have come
up with a comprehensive plan which sits before you that tums this rat hole into a beautiful,
respectable, proud place.
Open for discussion are the staffs comments which you received prior to this meeting.
The staffs first concern is the width of the proposed new concrete drive in which I have
addressed here on these two new renderings.
(Refer to renderings)
The staffs second comment pertains to my specification of an 8' treated wood fence
instead of a 6' masonry wall. I understand that I can possibly receive a variance from City
Council on this matter - so - at this time I ask for your approval subject to this condition.
Last - but certainly not least, the staff is highly concerned about the "intensity" of a
landscape contractor business working out of this location.
With no disrespect intended I can honestly say that the staff has "PERCEIVED" an
over-exaggeration of this property's use. Their comments written to you are as follows:
(Refer to their comments)
In order to accommodate this "intensity" issue, I have compiled in writing, guidelines in
which I am comfortable with and at this time wish to make these a permanent record of this
meeting.
(Pass out guidelines)
You should realize at this point that I have met all your requirements.
I have done what is right and I haven't asked for any favoritism or unreasonable requests.
I have been tough on myself for the benefit of this community.
Personally and through Artisan Landscape, this community has benefitted from my
memberships and services, not to mention the taxes collected and paid.
· I'm a charter member of our Chamber of Commerce
· I served on St. Ann's Building Committee, Phase I
· I was a monetary patron donor, and valued volunteer in the construction of Kid
Country
· I've actively and constantly supported area youth activities such as soccer,
baseball, band and school related activities
· For the past several years I've made contributions to the Coppell Family YMCA
· I'm an active member of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I have not only met or exceeded all requirements necessary to be granted
our C-SUP status but I have also sat down and visited with the majority of area property
owners and received their approval in writing in which I would like to submit to you at this
time. In addition, I would like to bring to your attention that as of Tuesday, June 16, 1997,
out of the 24 requests for replies that were sent out by Coppell P & Z staff to property
owners in the area of concern, there were only 3 replies mailed back, all were in favor of
granting us our C-SUP.
At this time I request that you approve our C-SUP, subject to the conditions previously
mentioned, and I would gladly accept any of your questions at this time.
Thank You
