Re: Recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan Update
Item 6. Non-Conforming 2F-9 to remain 2F-9 and MF-2 along Coppell Road
Dear Ms. Tunnell:
In an effort to respond to the testimony heard during the March 14 public headng and at the re-
quest of the commission, NCH has endeavored to work out with city staff a revision of our pro-
posal. It is my belief we have been successful in this effort and look forward to presenting the
results to you at the March 24 meeting. We respectfully request that the Planning and Zoning
Commission vote to recommend our plan to the city council.
Our plan, as it did last week, attempts to respect and respond to the concerns of our neighbors,
while at the same time allowing us to retain both our MF-2 and L! zoning, but in different loca-
tions. If approved by the city, we are still committing ourselves to providing the fifty foot setback
buffer, landscaping, sidewalk and screening wall we showed last weeK, where either Multifamily
or Industrial development borders on Coppell Road. Additionally, we have made the following
refinements, responding to the new public comments:
Reduced by 60% the MF-2 frontage on Coppell Road by shifting it southward and westward,
deeper into our property. By doing this, the MF-2 is now no longer "across the street~ from
Single Family zoned land on Coppell Road. The new, smaller frontage is entirely across from
land zoned "Commercial".
This plan odents the future MF development to Freeport Parkway, thereby eliminating any
perceived traffic impact to Coppell Road. We agree that the MF will have no more than
one(l) ddveway access to Coppell Road, which could be blocked off to everyday traffic with a
Fire Dept. approved "crash gate", only to be used in case of emergency. All major entdes
would be from the west, off of streets designed to handle the traffic.
Where our property is adjacent to the "Loch Lane" residential, on our side of Coppell Road,
we will provide for an increased, thirty (30) foot landscaped setback and an eight (8) foot
screening wall.
Please consider this letter as evidence of our commitment to follow through on all we have
promised herein, should the city concur with our plan.

However, let me address the other two alternatives which were proposed last week. NCH Corpo-
ration does not agree with and does not desire zoning which would reflect either the proposed
plan showing Single Family on our property or the "ail Industrial" scheme mentioned by some.
We would like to make it clear that with either of these zonings, we would no longer commit our-
selves to any of the representations made herein regarding additional buffering, landscaping and
screening. We say this only to relieve any misunderstandings on this issue.
We have continued to make every effort to communicate with the interested homeowner groups,
and other individuals with which we talked at the meeting, and feel that most are comfortable with
our plan, once they understand it.
We look forward to presenting this to you in greater detail at your March 24 meeting, and answer-
ing any questions you should have. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Don Moulton, P.E.
