Re:
Preliminary Plat
Parks of Coppell, Section Four
(Copper Stone Estates)
Dear Taryon:
Per our conversation, I am requesting an extension in time of
expiration for the preliminary plat referenced above.
The purpose for the extension in time is due to the following
reasons.
A massive amount of site preparation is taking place to
precede development.
We have been involved with the City and the State to acquire
the right-of-way needed to construct Parkway Boulevard.
o
The bridge and related infrastructure needs to be designed
prior to final plat submittal. This design is more extensive
than other less complicated projects.
The preliminary plat that was approved is the basis for all of
our improvements to date, including the zoning, which was
previously approved, and will serve as a basis for future
improvements.
