RE: Vistas of Co__vpell. Phase IIA. Final Plat
Dear Derek:
On Thursday, February 20, 1997, you requested a release of the above-referenced plat for filing, although the
third condition of our October 9, 1996, correspondence (copy attached) had not yet been met.
As you know, the City does not normally allow the filing of a plat until all conditions have been complied with.
However, because of the nature of your request and the following factors: · It is an eight-lot subdivision;
· all lots are currently owned by Centex, with no immediate plans to sell;
· the Home for the Future is to be constructed on one of these lots and the lead time required to
construct this home necessitates expedited processing, and
· a total of four lots will be built upon initially,
I agreed to seek the advice of our legal counsel regarding its filing.
Although initially reluctant to endorse your request, our attorney finally agreed to the filing provided the
following condition is submitted to us by Centex in writing:
The City will allow this plat to be recorded, but Centex recognizes that no Certificates of
Occupancy will be issued nor occupancy by permanent residents will be allowed before the HOA
deed Restrictions/Agreement has been approved by the City Attorney. In addition, a draft copy
of the HOA must be delivered to our City Attorney on or before March 10, 1997.
With that agreement in hand, we will release the plat for filing and allow development to proceed on Vistas
of Coppell, Phase HA.
I believe this action will satisfy your request, but if you have questions, please contact me at your convenience.
