report to the Council. He stated that one-third of the land will be in open green
space, that his development is currently working with the City of Carrollton to correct
the drainage problems to the east of this development, and that a temporary bridge
would be built over the river between Coppell and Carrollton so that dirt would be
hauled from the area east of this project and would not be transported over City streets.

ment in the project. These areas are (1) the creation of the linear park, (2) the

be built following approval of the railroad company. Mr. Patterson stated that his
company would like to add the following restrictions to the development as of this

to duplex development and the next one hundred twenty (120) feet would be restricted
to quadriplex so as to give the appearance of a single family development, (2) that

McArthur Boulevard, and (3) that upon approval of the zoning, construction on
McArthur Boulevard would begin within two weeks. Mayor Brown declared the public
