Dear Gary:
We are herewith requesting a variance to City's sidewalk
ordinance. The requested variance would waive the requirement
to construct a sidewalk as part of the development of each lot
within the subdivision. In lieu of the requirement we would
substitute the requirement to construct sidewalks at such time
as either:
A majority of the property owners in the subdivision
acting through the Property Owners Association request the
construction of a sidewalk or
THe City
the City
sidewalk
ordinance.
of Coppell Public Works Director acting through
Council determines that there is a need for a
to be constructed in accordance with the sidewalk
We have surveyed a number of industrial parks in the surrounding
area and find the installation of sidewalks to be rare. We
believe that the small number of employees, large lot sizes, and
large distances between unrelated lots make sidewalks unlikely
to be used. Additionally, we believe that the overall quality
of the park is enhanced by retaining the "sidewalk area" as a
landscaped greenbelt until such time as there is a need for a
sidewalk.
If this variance is granted the covenants and restrictions for
the subdivision will be amended or revised to require the
Property Owners Association to construct sidewalks in accordance
with this variance.

will enhance the quality of the development and we would be
appreciative of the City granting this variance.
