I am involved in an advisory capacity with Texas A & M University on
the night of 2-14-89, but I would like to have my comments in front
of the City Council. I appeared in front of Planning and Zoning when
the tract at the corner of Tweed and Coppell Road was brought up for
zoning and was changed from retail to SF-? and a small strip of
SF-12. The Planning and Zoning Commissioner, Bill Johnson, kept
telling us that we were lucky to get the zoning out from retail. I
do not think that this is pertinent.
There is too much retail space present in Coppell already. The owner
of the land is being overburdened by the taxes he is paying for
retail and wants to get the zoning changed from retail to
residential. Due to~the quality of the neighborhood and due to the
excess amount of water drainage that this would cause, I think this
tract ought to be upgrade to SF-12.
Sincerely,
Melvin Gross, M.D.
