Re: Zoning Cases ZC-563(CH) and ZC-555(CH)
Dear Gary:
The two zoning change cases on our property that were initiated by Council are scheduled for
the Council meeting on Tuesday, June 14. Since each of these properties address different
issues and there is an extremely long agenda for that night, we request that Case # ZC-555(CH
(the land area north of Parkway) be postponed to the June 28 heating date.
This will allow us to focus our energies on each case individually. We would appreciate your
action on this matter.
Sincerely,

PLANNING COMMISSION AUTHORIZED PUBLIC HEARING
Case No. ZC-555 (CH)
Location: North of Parkway Blvd. , east of Coppell Road
Size: Approximately 90 acres
Owner: Approximately 63 acres owned by Jim Sowell Co.; approximately 12.7 acres
owned by Bonham State Bank; approximately 27 acres owned by John Adams
Existing Zoning: MF-2 with the exception of a small portion of the Sowell tract
(approximately 10 acres) which is zoned MF-1
Proposed Zoning: With the exception of a portion separated from the majority of the 90
acres, SF (with numerical classification to be determined at hearing); the
remainder along north Coppell Road and separated by a drainage area,
MF -2
Master Plan: Shows high density (apartments) and flood plain
Recommendation: Based upon the current single-family market, and the fact that the majority
of critical comments heard at the community public meeting in 1992
focused on this land area, "SF" appears most appropriate for this parcel
with the exception of the tract along north Coppell Road (the Adams tract)
and separated by the drainage line. It is staff's recommendation that
parcel retain its MF-2 classification.
Planning Commission Action of March 14, 1994: Retain "MF-2" on approximately 25 acres
(the majority of the Adams tract), "SF-7" on the remaining approximately 75 acres (the
Sowell and Bonham State Bank parcels). Please see next page for addffional information.

HC o
REHEARING ON ZC~555
After the Council had rezoned this tract to SF-9 (Planning Commission had recommended SF-7),
there was additional dialogue held with the owner of this property (Sowell), and the Council
elected to return the case to Planning Commission for additional study (please see the attached
memo from City Manager Witt that outlines the general discussion held by Council), and possible
action.
Subsequent to Council's request and the mailing of notices calling the hearing for May 19, Mr.
Jamie Cornelius--Jim Sowell's representative--submitted the attached letter which appears to take
issue with Council's informal discussion. It appears that Mr. Cornelius was of the opinion that
SF-7 was to be discussed, NOT SF-7 and any other zoning classification.
At any rate, the notice was properly advertised, the Commission has already recommended SF-7
on the entire tract (which seems to track with Mr. Cornelius's position), Commission can still
recommend to zone the property in any residential classification it feels is warranted, and we
can proceed through the process of rezoning this property one more time.
Staff would recommend the same as we did for the first hearing and that is to rezone from SF-9
to SF-7 on the entire parcel which has recently been rezoned SF-9 (remember at the time of
rezoning to SF-7 the entire tract was zoned MF-1 or 2). We also support the original
Commission recommendation of leaving the northwest corner of the area which is shown on the
attached map, MF-2.
