My understanding is that the targe/ zoning is SF-7 wh~le Shadow Ridge Estates is SF-9 and Whispering, Hills Addition is oF-12. My understanding of this situation is that iSF-7 would allow for extremely small lots and houses as,.small asl 1200 square feet. This would have a devaluing effect on current ho~es in the area. Also, this would seem counter-productive to the n~ed for a tax base that pays for itself. As you know, the higher t~e appraised value per the population, the more we will be able to affDrd the associated required services. My understanding is that the builder plans ~o build large homes which is great, but with an SF-7 zoning is there ~ny guarantee that they would not change their plans and build 1200! square feet houses? My understanding is that the developer feels that SF-7 is much better than the current 2F-9. However, realtors hsve told me that there is no market for duplexes in Coppell so it woukd never be built out as 2F-9 anyway. The residents of this area feel that the reZoning change should be to SF-9 to keep the new development consistent! with its neighbors, uphold the property values of its neighbors and maintain a good services requirement/property value balance. Pleasei delay action on this rezoning request until all the facts are openly discussed and you have a good chance to evaluate the situation. Thank you. _Mi~hgel w.

City of Coppell Mayor Mark Wolfe and City Council 255 Parkway Blvd. Coppell, TX 75019 Dear Mayor Wolfe and Members of the City C~ I am enclosing several petitions cont~ residents in the Whispering Hills Addition and Shadowood Estates, opposing zoning regl requesting a change for the property locat~ Rd., west of Whispering Hills, north of Sh~ east of Coppell Road. Had we had more tim~ produced 2 or 3 times this many signatures As homeowners in the area, there is a regarding the density which is being requel There is strong feeling that an SF-7 zonin. devaluing effect on the existing homes in ' seem, also, that such a zoning would not b~ of the City of Coppell and their desire to base. Eventhough the developer has stated to build on the lots would range from 2,301 assurances are there that, in fact, this w If they do build the larger houses, they w line houses on a 65' lot, and will not neighborhood. !r 17, 1990 ~uncilz Lining names of Shadowridge Estates lest #ZC-528, ~d south of Sandy Lake ~dowridge Estates and ~, we could have teat deal of concern ~ted by the developer. would have a ~he area. It would ~ in the best interests build a stronger tax that homes they plan SF to 3,800 SF, what .11 actually happen? .11 look like zero lot [orm to the current It is our feeling that the zoning on '~his tract should be SF-9 or larger. We understand that the pel~ding request is, in effect, a down zoning; however, the curren' market situation does not make the threat of duplexes being bull' on the property, in the near future, too real. As a commerica realtor, I am aware of at least two developers who would like to .evelop the tract into SF-9 and/or SF-12 lots, today. There is also concern about the requi current subdivision ordinances. As you ar. Hills Addition has a low crime rate as com] the City. We, and the Coppell Police, att largely to fact that there are no alleys t, of criminals. Since the subject tract lie. homes with no natural boundry, we would re. require the developer of the property, who. install a permanent masonry wall around th. the existing homes from the new developmen This will not prevent criminal activity, b: discourage them somewhat. :ement for alleys in aware, Whispering )ared to the rest of :ibute this low rate harbor the activities adjacent to existing uest that the Council vet they might be, to perimeter to separate containing alleys. t, perhaps, it will In summary, the residents who signed ~hese petitions, feel that in order to maintain the current property values, and neighborhood continuity, the subject tract ishould be zoned SF-9 or SF-12. We would encourage you to deny ~he zoning case #ZC- 528, or delay action on the case until you ihave had time to hear all the facts, and further evaluate the situation. Thank you.
