RE: Case #ZC-555(CH)
Our File No. 09999-8500
Dear Chairman Tunnell:
This finn represents John Adams, the owner of a 28 acre tract of land in the City of
Coppell, said tract being identified on the enclosed drawing and being subject to the zoning case
referenced above. This letter is being forwarded to you as written opposition of the proposed
rezoning pursuant to Section 44-6 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Coppell, and Section
211.006 of the Texas Local Government Code.
The subject property is currently zoned "MF-2" and is adjacent to property zoned "HC"
and property zoned for multi-family uses. The owner has owned this tract of land for over
twenty years. The proximity to highway commercial uses, State Highway 121 and the ability
for this tract to serve as a transitional use support multifamily uses on this tract.
Rezoning of the subject property to deprive the owner the ability to develop a multi-
family complex is an arbitrary and unreasonable act that destroys our client's investment backed
expectations and amounts to a taking of its development fights without just compensation. The
nature of surrounding land supports the development of a multifamily complex on the subject
tract. Further, the land is quite suitable, and desirable, for such a development. There is no
substantial relationship between rezoning the subject tract and the health, safety and welfare of
the City, nor is there a substantial public need for such a rezoning. The private loss as a result

Ms. Marsha Tunnell
RE: Case #ZC-555(CH)
March 14, 1993
Page 2
of such a rezoning significantly outweighs any public benefit because of the resulting irreparable
damage to the value of the property. Consequently, a rezoning of the subject tract to deprive
our client of his constitutionally protected right to develop a multifamily complex is arbitrary
and unreasonable and not supported by changed conditions.
We will be in attendance at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on March 14,
1994 if you have any questions concerning the matters set forth herein.
Very truly yours,
William S. Dahlstrom

Re: Proposed Down-Zoning of M.F Districts
Dear Ms. Tunnell and Mr. Redford:
As indicated in my previous letter to Ms. Tunnell (a copy of which is attached) we own 62 acres
of multi-family zoned land in the City of Coppell. This land has been zoned M.F.-2 since
January of 1985. At the time we were in the process of getting the land zoned, we were
required by the City to make contributions to the Andrew Brown Park, as well as, sell a portion
of our land to the School District at no profit to us. As a copy of the letter with the school
district and the two checks enclosed indicate, we followed through with those requirements. We
now expect the City of Coppell to follow through with its commitment to us.
As you consider making any changes to existing zoning in the City, I urge you to understand
that our zoning is a unique zoning as a result of the compensation that the City derived from the
approval of our zoning. I understand that you have had "community meetings" to discuss future
land uses. I think that it is important that all tax payers are included in those discussions, not
just those voting taxpayers. Specifically, it is very important that we, the land owner, are
included in those discussions. We have expended large sums of money over these past ten years
of ownership of this land based upon the zoning that is on the land and our anticipation of
realizing a sufficient revenue stream to support our investment from the land as it is zoned.
Besides the original payments and concessions made to the City, we have paid property taxes
on this property based on this zoning for the past ten years. We voluntarily chose to rezone a
large portion of our multi-family zoned land to single family in 1992. this was done because
we still had the land north of Parkway Boulevard that was multi-family, which would allow us
Mr. George Redford
Ms. Marsha Tunnell
January 18, 1994
page 2
to recover our investment. That zoning case assumed that the multi-family would be north of
Parkway Boulevard, and is one of the reasons for the wall around the single-family south of
Parkway Boulevard. I believe that it is very important that you consider our unique position
with our property and begin conversation with us now so that you may have confidence in your
research and homework.
It would be in the best interest of both the City and ourselves if we arrived at the designated
uses together as opposed our having to use the courts to protect our property rights. I will be
attending this week's Plan Commission Meeting and will take the opportunity to introduce
myself personally, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you to our mutual
satisfaction.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Re: Proposed changes to M.F. Districts
Dear Ms. Tunnell:
We currently own 62.45 acres of land zoned multi-family in Coppell. This land is part of our
Village at Cottonwood Creek project which we zoned on January 8, 1985, nine years ago. Most
probably no one on today's Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council was involved in
that zoning case, so I would like to point out that as a condition of receiving that zoning, we
were required to sell the School District a 12 acre site at our cost and make a cash contribution
of $163,036 to the Andrew Brown Park (not a park fee payment). As a result of this and our
payment of property taxes on this tract on the basis of multi-family zoning for these past 9 years,
we are strongly opposed to any efforts to eliminate or reduce the use of our land as multi-family
as it was zoned in 1985.
The current proposal before you results in a direct reduction of density on our MF-2 land by
30%. In addition, the new Park Fee that was adopted, made no provision for multi-family as
opposed to single-family. Based upon current market values, the park fee is equal to 25% of
multi-family land prices.
We will not tolerate a loss of 50+ % of the value of our land because the City of Coppell is
afraid that multi-family residents will not be of a predetermined "elite" class. There have been
discrimination cases tried and won over issues such as these and we are prepared to protest our
rights via other forums.
Ms. Marsha Tunnell -
December 15, 1993

We implore, you to decline the changes presented and to allow the limited amount of multi-family
land remaining in Coppell to be developed as the owners wish in accordance with their zoning.

Dear Mr. Jamieson:
We are responding to your inquiry regarding the effect a zO .t~lttg change Would
have on the value and maximal use of the 12,696 acres of vacang land on Coppell
Road. It is our opinion that a zoning change fi'om a multi, family zoning
deslgnatlon to a single-family zontng designation would have a negattve Influence
on the property's value and maximal use. The following paragraphs address the
issues that resulted In tht$ statement,
Drainage required to be taken through part of the site makes the site economically
unfeasible for single-family subdivision development. Multi,family development
on the site ia more feasible since the developer can recognize a larger yield on a
smaller portion of the property. The portion of the site designated as drainage
area could be incorporated into the development plan as a greenbelt area with a
-' muhi-family use.
We located land salem of prope~xies in the general market area that Involved
propertles with intended multi.family and single-family subdivision uses. 'Once
differences for physical characteristics and location are considered, multi.family
land sells for a higher price per urdt in the market area.
The lar~d across the street from the property is zoned 'HC~, Highway Corlll~erelal,
It 15 our opinion that att apartment, property would be compatible with
commercial properties pernlltted across the street, An apartment use would
provide a buffer between conuuerdal uses and those of less density {sue. h as $1rtgle-
family subdivisions) In the immediate area,
Should the zoning chm~ge to a single.family designation, a mlnlmum lot size of
7.000 SF would be more suitable on the sub}ecl site than a r, ord.qg desigttation
permlttlng less density such as the development of lots 9,000 $1~ and larger.
