RE: Fellowship Church - Fellowship Lakes
Tree Survey
Dear Mr. Newman:
In response to your letter dated November 20, 2001, I will c!arify the City of Coppell's
position in relation to the above captioned church expansion. First, you stated in the
letter that there was a meeting held between myself and representatives for your office,
Beck Construction, Beck Architecture and Mesa Design Groug I did attend a meeting on
this project on November 19, 2001, however, only you and I Were in attendance.
As discussed in that meeting, the City of Grapevine will be responsible for all
engineering and planning review and the permitting activities in relation to the
development of this project. No structures will be constructed in the City of Coppell.
Therefore, the City of Coppell's involvement will be limited to the approval of a Minor
Plat for the roughly five acres within our corporate limits. Regarding the removal of
protected trees located within the Coppell portion of the sitei please contact John Elias,
Landscape Manager, in our Leisure Services Department at 972-304-3554, to ensure that
the removal of any trees will occur in accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances.
Given the limited scope of the development in the City of C0ppell, i.e. no structures are
being constructed, a formal site plan approval process through the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council will not be required. Once all approvals are received
from the City of Grapevine, then as authorized by Section 10(B) of the City of Coppell
Ordinance #94643 and Section 212.0065 of the Local Government Code administrative
approval of the minor plat by the Director of Planning and Cbmmunity Services may be
requested. Again, this approval will be contingent upon written evidence that all required
approvals are obtained by the City of Grapevine.
Please feel free contact me ifI can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Andrea L. Roy, City ~anner
