DATE:
This plat was approved by Council on December 12, 1989. On June 6, 1990,
staff received the attached letter requesting an extension of the approval --
which would normally expire in September -- to December 31, 1990. Although
generally opposed to such extensions, the letter does justify the reason for
the request, and staff would not offer any strong reason to deny the request.

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
On or about December 12, 1989 the City Council of Coppell approved the Preliminary Plat for
the Park Place Addition, an 88 lot single family subdivision located on the north side of Sandy
Lake Road. As you know the current owner of that land is ABQ Development Corp. which is a
subsidiary of a savings bank in New Mexico which was taken over by the Resolution Trust Corp.
on or around February 1, 1990. Due to the RTC takeover, our contract of sale with ABQ for the
land has experienced significant delays. This has been further complicated by the fact that ABQ
was originally to build Heartz Road as a part of our land contract as well as pursuant to other
obligations between ABQ Development Corp. and the Parks of Coppell Joint Vent._u_r_e: ......
In order for us to proceed with our land contract, it has become a condition of this transaction
imposed by the RTC for our company to take over the construction of Heartz Rd. As you know we
have previously met with the City and requested information so we may make an informed
business decision regarding the City's requirement for Heartz Rd., some of which is still in
process.
The purpose of this letter is to formally request that the City Council extend any automatic
termination date of the Park Place Preliminay Plat to December 31, 1990 to allow sufficient
time to complete the land acquisition and submit to the city the required final engineering and
plat. While we do not think that it will take that long for the final platting of Fark Place to
commence, I would prefer to not have to ask for further extensions at a later date. Please make
our request known to the Coppell City Council at the earliest available time and let me know if
you need anything further from me, (including appearance at a meeting) other than this letter
formally requesting the Preliminary Plat extension.
Yours very truly,
Univest Development Co.

Councilman Morton also indicated that 150 families were on the
mailing list for the Office on Aging with 96 telephone calls being
received during the previous month from Coppell.
Item 15A: Remove from the table the discussion, consideration and
approval of an ordinance amending Section 8-1-3 of the
City Code of Ordinances establishing 35 m.p.h, speed
limit on Coppell Road from Sandy Lake Road to Thweatt
Road and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Councilman Thomas moved that Item 15A be removed from the table for
further consideration. Councilman Robertson seconded the motion;
motion carried 5-0 with Councilmen Weaver, Thomas, Morton, Cowman
and Robertson voting in favor of the motion.
Item 15B: Consideration of an ordinance amending Section 8-1-3 of
the City Code of Ordinances establishing 35 m.p.h, speed
limit on Coppell Road from Sandy Lake Road to Thweatt
Road and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Acting City Engineer Shohre Daneshmand made the presentation to
the Council. Mrs. Daneshmand informed the Council that a study
conducted by staff warranted a 40 m.p.h, speed limit. However, due
to the roadway entrances to the Villages of Coppell, the length of
Coppell Road between Sandy Lake Road and Thweatt Road and the
existing bridge crossing Cottonwood Branch, a speed limit of 35
m.p.h, is being recommended. Ms. Ann Henson, representing the
Villages of Cottonwood Creek Homeowners Association, presented a
petition to the Council requesting the speed limit be left at 35
m.p.h. During discussion by the Council, staff was requested to
see about cutting or clearing the brush at the bridge to improve
visibility for vehicles entering Coppell Road from Winding Hollow
as well as possibly installing a sign stating ,,Intersection Ahead".
Following discussion on this item, Councilman Robertson moved that
Ordinance 90479 be approved establishing the speed limit at 35
m.p.h, on Coppell Road from Sandy Lake Road to Thweatt Road.
Councilman Cowman seconded the motion; motion carried 4-1 with
Councilmen Weaver, Thomas, Cowman and Robertson voting in favor of
the motion and Councilman Morton voting against the motion.
