Dear Mr. Sieb:
Reference the last Developmental Review Commission's meeting,
held on Wednesday, November 24, 1993, at the City of Coppell,
regarding preliminary approval of a fifty-two (52) lot residential
community, known as Cambridge Manor Estates.
One of the questions brought up at this meeting was how future
homeowners in the community will be guaranteed that they receive
a current copy of Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners Deed
Restrictions. Your question was in reference to second or third
time purchasers in the community, i.e., individuals and families
purchasing five (5) or six (6) years down-the-road who were not
involved in the inception of the community. After reviewing more
than twelve (12) sets of local (current) homeowners deed restric
tions I found that this particular article/item has never been
addressed. Therefore, Beamer Development, Inc., will write into
Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners Deed Restrictions the following
articles to be strictly adhered to:
o Anyone who commits to building a home in Cambridge Manor
Estates by signing an earnest money contract with any
authorized home builder and also deposits earnest money
with either the home builder or a designated/authorized
title company will have a personal interview and/or meeting
with a principal of Beamer pevelopment, Inc. During this
interview/meeting the prospective purchaser(s) will
receive a current copy of the Cambridge Manor Estates
Deed Restrictions and they will be asked to verify that
they have received same by signing a document which will
then be sent to the following offices within three (3)
days of the date of acknowlegement:
1. City of Coppell
Attn: Director of Planning and Community Services
2. The title company that is shown on the executed
contract-for-sale.
3. The home builder that the purchaser(s) has contracted
with to build his/her new home.

Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners Deed Restrictions (continued):
If a home in Cambridge Manor Estates is re-sold it will be
written into the deed restrictions that the current
President of the Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners
Association or representative will have the responsibility
to accomplish the following:
1. When a contract is executed (approved by both buyer and
seller) the Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners Associa-
tion President or representative must set-up a personal
meeting (NOT WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE) to not only welcome
the new neighbors but to issue them a current copy of the
Cambridge Manor Estates Homeowners Deed Restrictions.
The new purchaser(s) must also verify that they have
received a current copy of the deed restrictions by
signing acknowlement of same. This document will then
be sent to the following offices within three (3) days
of the date acknowledged:
1. City of Coppell
Attn: Director of Planning and Community Services
2. Realtor-of-Record (if applicable).
3. Sellers of re-sale home (if applicable). This
will be another way to insure that the prospec-
tive homeowners receive a current copy of the
deed restrictions. Additionally, the sellers
should be able to make the prospective purchaser(s)
acutely aware of virtually all articles in the
deed restrictions.
4. The title company %hat is shown on the executed
contract-for-sale.
In closing, please realize that the aforementioned articles and/or
items that will be contained in the Cambridge Manor Estates
Homeowners Deed Restrictions seem like a great deal of additional
effort. However, based on my professional experiences in the
marketing and selling of new custom homes a program such as this
written into the deed restrictions will accomplish the following:
Mr. Gary L. Sieb December 2, 1993
Cambridge Manor Estates - Page Three -
1. Give either the brand new or re-sale homeowner
a feeling of confidence by being able to see
(first-hand) their own homeowners deed
restrictions before they actually set-a-date
to close and physically move into their home.
2. Give either the brand new or re-sale homeowner a
feeling of being genuinely welcome in the community
for which they will call home.
3. Give either the brand new or re-sale homeowner a
feeling that the city; developer; builder and
neighbors are being open and forthright regarding
the homeowners deed restrictions.
Mr. Sieb, implementation of a program as outlined in this letter
will certainly set a precedent and also make a statement regarding
those individual homeowners who claim that they never received a
copy of the community deed restrictions. I honestly believe all
concerned parties will save time, future frustration and still
offer a great new service to potential homeowners.
If you have any questions, whatsoever, regarding any item or items
contained in this letter please feel free to call me anytime at
214/ 908-1068 or Mark Wainscott at 214/ 447-9119.
Sincerely,
~ral Manager /
