Subject: Possible Golf Clubhouse Facility Exemption
Alan, this is to confirm our conversation concerning the
seeming confusion concerning the interpretation of the above
mentioned exemption to Section 29.15 of the Zoning Ordinance of
the City of Coppell.
The confusion is caused by the possible different
interpretation of the exemption that the City Attorney gave to
the P&Z and the City Council. According to a letter sent to
each of the members of the City Council, the Chairman of the
P&Z Commission states the following:
"(2)
City Attorney Larry Jackson also appeared before the
P&Z and stated that his opinion was that the
ordinance, as written, had granted Riverchase an
exception to the ordinance. They could, therefore,
serve alcohol at the club without complying with the
provisions required for a "restaurant with private
club". Much discussion followed on the point, but the
consensus was that Riverchase could be allowed to
operate and would be controlled only by the less
restrictive state statute , not the Coppell
ordinance."
The above stated interpretation was not the understanding I
developed after the presentation by the City Attorney on this
subject at the October 25, 1988, meeting of the City Council.
I would appreciate some clarification of the seeming confusion
of the interpretation.
Thanks for the help.
