CASE #: ZC-534(H) - Bullock Cemetery
P & Z HEARING DATE: October 15, 1992
C. C. HEARING DATE: November 10, 1992
LOCATION: West of Denton Tap road, north of Bethel School Road.
SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 11,000 square feet.
REQUEST: To consider granting Historical Designation (H) to the Bullock Cemetery.
APPLICANT: Ms. Mary Evelyn Mobley
709 S. Coppell Road
Coppell, Texas 75019
214-462-0474 or 214-462-0321
HISTORY: Approximately 18 months ago, zoning was changed from (C) Commercial
to (PD-SF) Planned Development Single-Family on property north of the
application and is commonly referred to as the Wynn Page subdivision.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is an improved six-lane divided (P6D) thoroughfare
contained within a 100-120 foot right-of-way; Bethel School Road is an
improved two-lane road (C2U) contained within a 60' right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - developing single-family; PD-SF-7
South - undeveloped; C
East - undeveloped; C
West - developed single-family; PD-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows single-family uses as most appropriate.
ANALYSIS: Although not as well-known or visible as the Bethel Cemetery, this
graveyard is preserved with many beautiful head-stones and warrants
consideration for historic designation. Because this cemetery has local
historic significance, is a well preserved example of small, turn-of-the-
century graveyard, and has garnered strong Historical Commission support
for designation, staff would recommend approval of historical
classification.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the historic designation
2) Deny the historic designation
3) Modify the historic designation
AT'FACHMENTS: 1) Historic Commission application/recommendation
2) Map of area being considered
3) Photo copies of cemetery

(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 Sourers

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

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 I.ane,
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 (H)
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'X16') 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 McNear 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 Bo~ko, 601 Christi Ln., Coppell, John Carrezan, 602 Phoenix Cir., Coppell, Lynn
Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell, and Mike Dom, 606 Swan, Coppell. Mayor Wolfe then asked for
those persons who would like to speak in favor of this proposal. Those persons Slnmking were
