Box 478 Coppell, Texas 75019 214 - 462 - 0022 December 9, 1986 TO: FROM: RE: Frank Trando, Interim City Manager Dale Jackson, Chief Building Inspector Street Name Change It has been brought to my attention that because of the way that Meadowood Lane runs in Park Meadow Section I and Parkwood Section III that duplicate hundred block numbers exist on this street. The master addressing map has divided the city into hundred blocks both north and south and east and west originating at the intersection of Sandy Lake Road and Denton Tap Road. Meadwood Lane runs east and west in the Park Meadow subdivision. In the Parkwood Section III plat, the street turns and runs north and south. The north and south hundred block is very close to the east and west hundred block and causes duplications in the street numbering. These duplications could cause much confusion and lost time for emergency fire, police, or ambulance crews to locate the correct premises. In order to resolve the confusion I propose that Meadowood Lane in Parkwood Section III be changed to Parkwood Lane. The developer of this subdivision has been contacted and has agreed to this name change. I have contacted the city attorney and he has stated that there is not a need to re-plat this subdivison, that the name change can be done by resolution by the City Council and that a copy of the resolution could be sent to the plat records division of Dallas County.

Box 478 Coppell, Texas 75019 RE: Parkwood III Subdivision, Coppell, Texas Dear Mr. Jackson: This letter will confirm that General Homes Corporation hereby approves the requested street name change from Meadowood Lane to Parkwood Lane in the above referenced subdivision.
