To The Member of the
Historical Preservation Commission
Coppell, Texas 75019
Dear Members,
Please consider this an application for~ Historic Bethel Cemcterv to be designated as a
historical place and a certificate of appropriateness issued for thc installation of a small log
cabin to t~e usec~ for housing lawn equipment used by the association to keep the grounds.
I am attaching a copy of the original deed issued to James Parish in 1853. You will also find
attached specifications for the cabin furnished by the builder. We are asking for this type
of structure because we feel it will be more in l~eeping with the history of the land and less
objectionable to the surrounding neighbors than a corrugated tin shed.
There is attached a copy of the plot designating the place where the cabin will be placed.
The Cemetery Association thanks your for your cx)nsidcration.
Sincerely,
Ann B. McNear

Members Polk (Weaver), Cotten (Thomas), Stone (Morton), Guerrero (Mayo) Littlefield
(Robertson) and Bekavac (Garrison) voting in favor of the motion. Mayor Souders (Wolfe)
concluded the Students in Government portion of the City Council meeting. Mayor Souders
(wolfe) expressed his thanks to the Mayor, the Council, the teachers for their support, and
announced a 10-minute recess for photographs to be taken. Mayor Wolfe passed out certificates
to the Students in Government.
18. PUBLIC HEARING: To consider approval of a zoning change, Case #ZC-543(H), at
the request of Historical Bethel Cemetery Association, from (PD-SF-9) Planned
development Single-Family-9, to (H) Historic Designation, located at the east end of
Christi Lane and south of Bethel School Road.
Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services made the presentation to Council. The
Planning and Community Services Department sent 18 notices to properties that were within 200
feet of the area of request. Because ten (10) signed responses were returned in opposition, those
ten (10) responses were more than 20% opposition within the 200 feet, so the 3/4 vote must be
met. Mr. Sieb stated this zoning change had unanimous approval from the Historical
Commission and the Planning Commission, yet a considerable amount of neighborhood
opposition. The applicant, Ann McNear, 456 W. Bethel, Coppell, made a presentation to the
Council regarding the history of Coppell land. Mayor Wolfe opened the Public Hearing and
asked for those persons wishing to speak in opposition of this proposal. Those persons speaking
were Lynn Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell, who is opposed to the Historical Commission determining
what goes on with this property without the home owner's input; Gary Botzko, 601 Christi
Lane, Coppell also expressed his concern over the home owners's loss of control that is not
consistent with the properties already established; John Corregan, 602 Phoenix Circle, Coppell,
expressed his concern as to why The Historical Bethel Cemetery Association wants to change
the zoning over what it is now, and Mike Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell, expressed his concern that
with this being a historical plot, the Historical Society is a very powerful organization and if it
wins this agenda item, the members will try to go for more that could the alter the cosmetics
of the overall community. Mayor Wolfe then asked for those persons who would like to speak
in favor of this proposal. Those persons speaking were Don Brumbaugh, 524 Christi Lane,
Coppell, who expressed his support for the historic designation and Dean Wilkerson, 541
Oakcrest, Coppell, who expressed his support for the historic designation and believes there are
plenty of controls that will keep issues from happening that the home owners may not like.
Mayor Wolfe then closed the Public Hearing. Following discussion, Councilman Weaver moved
to approve the zoning change from (PD-SF-9) Planned development Single-Family-9, to (II)
Historic Designation, located at the east end of Christi Lane and south of Bethel School Road.
Councilman Mayo seconded the motion. The motion carried 6-1 with Councilmen Weaver,
Thomas, Morton, Mayo, Robertson and Garrison voting in favor of the motion and Mayor Pro
Tem Smothermon voting against the motion.
19. PUBLIC HEARING: To consider approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness, at the
request of Historical Bethel Cemetery Association, to allow a log cabin (10'XI6') to
store cemetery maintenance equipment and supplies, located at the east end of Christi
Lane, south of Bethel School Road.
Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Development, made the presentation to
Council. Mr. Sieb stated the Planning Commission denied approval for the log cabin to be built
by a vote of 5-0. Eighteen (18) notices were mailed to residents that would be affected by this
Certificate. Fifteen (15) of the notices returned from those living within a 200-foot distance who
were in opposition and three (3) who were outside the 200-foot distance. A petition of 36
signatures was provided by those in opposition of this Certificate. Ann MeNear made a
presentation to Council on behalf of the Certificate. Mayor Wolfe opened the Public Hearing and
asked for those persons wishing to speak in opposition of this proposal. Those persons speaking
were Gary Botzko, 601 Christi Ln., Coppell, John Carrezan, 602 Phoenix Cir., Coppell, Lynn
Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell, and Milre Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell. Mayor Wolfe the~ asked for
those persons who would like to speak in favor of this proposal. Those persons speaking were
