~ ~ Meeting:
~_~al, most of our prevlou_~,~eview comments concerning the final plat and plans
have been eveloper. However, a few items on the plans are in need of
revision (see our letter to you, dated October 3, 1991).
In addition, the following items should be addressed or discussed with the Planning &
Zoning Commission:
An additional 30-foot sanitary sewer easement is required along the backs of Lots
9-12 for a future 15-inch sanitary sewer. We have discussed this with the
developer's engineer and it is our understanding that they are reviewing this
request.
2. The developer has not provided the alley behind Lots 37-41 as recommended by Staff.
Harris Road Improvements are not included in this project. The developer has
explained Harris Road plans will be submitted shortly by another developer. It is
our recommendation that no building permits be issued for this addition until
Harris Road is improved to City Standards and accepted by the City.
We are available to discuss these projects further at your convenience.

RE: Proposed Park Dedication in Relation to the Big Cedar Addition to the City of Coppell,
Texas
Dear Mr. Wieland:
As you are aware, the Final Plat for the Big Cedar Addition to the City of Coppell indicates a park
dedication of approximately 3.87 acres. The proposed dedication is adjacent to the existing park in
Hunterwood (Coppell Village), and is intended to continue in a linear park. If you have been on the
proposed dedication acreage, then you are aware of the special characteristics of the property.
Seldom do you find trees of the magnitude that exist in this area. Therefore, we feel that this
acreage will be a positive addition to the City's park system.
Based on the proposed dedication of this acreage we would like to request a waiver of the park fund
fee. Based on the current schedule of $150 per lot, this fee would be set at $6,300. We strongly feel
that this amount is far exceeded by the intrinsic value of the proposed dedication. Please review this
request and advise us as to how to proceed obtaining a formal waiver of the park fund fee.
I appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this issue, please do
not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
D. Matthew Ooodwin, P.E.
