Dear Ms. Bowman:
Pursuant to our planned development, known as Cambridge Manor
Estates, the following information is hereby submitted for
your evaluation and possible action.
Beamer Development, Inc., has been in the process of having
Cambridge Manor Estates re-zoned from agricultural to residen-
tial zoning by first meeting with the Developmental Review
Commission and then being scheduled on the agenda for the
Coppell Planning & Zoning Committee (P&Z) meeting scheduled
for Thursday, December 16, 1993. Unfortunately, we regret
to inform you that due to a contractual matter that surfaced
today we must ask that your office withdraw Beamer Develop-
ment, Inc., from the December Planning & Zoning meeting.
The contract in question only affects .67 acres of the total
twenty-five (25) acres and will not have an adverse effect
on Cambridge Manor Estates other than having approximately
fifty (50) lots opposed to fifty-two (52) lots.
Ms. Bowman, in closing, we sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience that this may have caused you and your
staff. If you have any questions, whatsoever, please
feel free to call me anytime at 214/ 908-1068.
Sincerely,
BOMMARITO
