MacArthur Boulevard and Beltline Road, from (R) Retail to (LI)
Light Industrial.
Planning and Zoning Coordinator Taryon Bowman introduced the
item to the Commission. She stated that no reply forms were
returned, and that staff recommends that any type of
Industrial ~ses be restricted along the frontage of Beltline
Road, in order to preserve the image of a major Gateway into
the City of Coppell. Mrs. Bowman also noted that the
Comprehensive Master Plan indicates this area should be a
Mixed-~se area of (O) Office, (R) Retail, and limited (C)
Commercial uses. It also states that it should be designed
with the importance of a Gateway into the City in mind.
Mr. Tim House, representing Crow Billingsley, was present to
make the presentation to the Commission. Mr. House gave a
slide presentation showing the location of the project, as
well as how the Dallas Power and Light power line affects the
frontage of their property. He referred to page nine (9) of
the City of Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan, stating that
they felt this request would be consistent with the
surrounding area.
Following questions by the Commission, Mr. House stated that
the widening of Beltl~ne Road would have some effect on their
case. He also stated that they had submitted a request to the
City Council regarding the relocation of Beltline Road, and
that they feel it is moving in a positive direction. They
hope to have this completed in approximately two (2) years.
Mr. House stated that the power lines are a real barrier to
them on this property. It was brought up by the Commissioners
that perhaps this plan might not be the highest and best use
for this property; and that consideration might be given to
splitting up the tract.
Chairman Munsch then opened the Public Hearing and asked for
persons wishing to speak in favor of the request. There were
none. He then asked for persons wishing to speak in
opposition of the request, again there were none. The Public
Hearing was then closed.

Meadowglen Properties.
Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the Commissioners, and
stated that property owner notifications were mailed out. Two
(2) notices were returned in favor of the request, and five
(5) notices were returned in opposition of the request.
Mr. Glen Hinkley, representing Meadowglen Properties, made the

those meetings, they are reducing the number of lots. He also
stated that they will require a 1750 square foot minimum
dwelling size for the first three (3) years, with the ability
to revert to 1600 square feet after that time, if needed. If
after three (3) years, 50% of the lots are not developed, or
50% of the houses are not sold, they would, according to the
deed restrictions, revert back to the 1600 square foot
dwelling size.
Mr. Hinklev stated that they feel they have reached an
agreement with property owners; however, he was aware of one
individual who was still opposed to the development,
