By this I mean that your actions should not trigger dispropotfioua~ taxes upon others, or worse yet, a
decrease in the value of ano~r's propetx~y.
In addition to free public educatioo and much sports spending, ~w rights clamor for entry into our
city: the right to have bike paths, jogging paths, walk~ p~ths, parks, library buildings with
playground equipment, library books, public pools, and lighted ~aseball fields. These rights do not
merely ask for a place of their own; they lay claim wholly or pa~y to the place now held by the right
of private property.
I urge you and your colleagues on the Council to (A) ,s~im,ulat~ city growth in ways which do not
continually increase total taxes as a perceatage of assessed value;land (B) do not continue to crode thc
rights of private property from our c~ti~e~s. I fccl certain that n~of you would choose to livc in a

Dear Ms. Tunnell:
We are homeowners of Devonshire and live~at %20 Halifax Drive.
We very strongly support the r~-zoning request of the ~0 acre tract
of land located on the west sxde of Coppel!Road and south of Ruby
Road from M¥-2 to L1.
We are and have been very much concernediabout the impact o~ a
multi-family zone on the west side of Coppe~l Rd as it wil% have an
extremely negative impact on traffic going to and comxng from
Wilson Elementary school.
Needless to say, an MF-2 zone will also pla~e a heavy burden on our
school sys=em eventually, and will cause a ~considerable strain in
the quality of education our children will lreceive.
We believe that the best possible use Of this land is Light
Industrial and we strongly urge you to re-zOne it from MF-2 to L1.
We appreciate the time you make on our beh41f.

Dear Mr. Slab,
We are writing with regard to the proposed mzoning of the tract of land south of Ruby
Road and west of Coppell Road. We support the proposal v~hich would rezone the
land from multi-fatally to light industrial.
This tract of land is in a precarious position in that it Is dlrectl~ down the street from an
elementary school. This means that if a multi-family compleX( is developed in that area,
Coppell Road will become heavily trafficked. This poses a g~at potential hazard to the
children that walk to the Wilson Elementary School. Coppel{ Road would also be the
main artery between this multi-family complex and the high ~cilool--which puts an even
more hazardous situation in motion, in that you would have (~hildren walking and young
(possibly fast and/or careless) drivers on the same road at ti)e same times of day.
Additionally, we cannot understand how it could be preferable to locate any residential
development west of Denton Tap that far south in relation t~the proposed new runway,
If that area is not desirebte for single family, I would questioN what type of multi-family
complex would be attracted to it.
Use of the land as it is ~urrentiy zoned would jeopardize the
of life for many of your citizens. Also, a multi-family develo~

Re: 30 acre MF.2 tract located west of Coppell Road and $ ruth of Ruby Road.
Dear Ms. Tunncll:
I strongly encourage you and your fellow Comm!ssioners to vo. te for the rezgning of
thi~ tract of land from MF-2 to LI (Light Industrml). I make mis reoommendation on
my own behalf and in the name of the Devonshire Homeowners Association.
Conditions have substantially changed in the years since thc land in question was
ori$inally zoned Ml:-2 and acquired by its current owner: I~CH Corporation. In fact
those conditions are so dramatically changed and changing sO as to warrant ~zoning the
land~ even over the possible objections of the owner. In supllort of my recommendation
to rezone this land I offer the following reasons;
1) Overflight noise from .D. FW Runway 16/34, when it is c,mpleted in .1997: ne.g~. _~s.
any possibility of rmidentml use of land located west of Coppell Rono ano soum ~n
Ruby Road. The overflight traffic noise will render this property inhospitable for either
single family or multi-family residents.
2) A 600 unit apartment development at the intersection of Coppell Road and B. eth~!
Road will generate peak traffic volumes which will overwhelm the cun'~nt or projcc~a
capacity o(either road. The traffic generated by parents .d~.pping off students at. W.H.
Wilson Elementary, compounded by apartment dwelling htgh school studgnts .driving
north on Coppell Road to Coppell High School, will escalate an annoying $1tuauon to a
dangerous one.
3) C.I.S.D. officials estimate that a 600 unit apartment development at this location..v. '.all.
add approximately 200 students to the population at Wilson.Elem¢.mary, which is vnthm
75 students of its capacity now. C.LS.D. will be forced to tmmediately construct a new
¢lcn~ntary school. This will be followed by a disruptive shift of elementary school
atlvndance boundaries for several hundred current C.I.S.D. elementary school staclents.
h is prudent of the Planning and Zoning Commissioners to take these factors into account
as they deliberate thc best use of this land in conjunction with the lawfully mandated
revision to the Master Plan of Development for the City of COppell.

There have been numerous meetings, orggnized and spontaneous,
of homeowners with legitimate questions. Ba~ed on these questions,
we have attempted to find answers to these iquestions, for our
benefit as well as yours. I would very muc~ like to thank City
Planner Gary Sieb and his assistant, TaryoniBowman, Rick Foster of
the Coppell Independent School District, ~nd Ken Griffin, City
Engineer, for providing their time and a~swers to many of our
questions. This letter is an attempt ko convey to you our
findings to assist you in making your decis!ion on this matter.
The subject property is !41.32 acres, generally bounded on the
ncrth by Ruby Road, east by Coppell Road, an~ south by Bethel Road.
There is a proposed extension of Freeport, running north from
Betnei Road and curving slightly west to intersect Ruby Road where
Ruby curves north. Approximately 28 acres of the property fronting
Coppell Road is currently zoned MF 2. The iremaining 113 acres is
zoned LI.
In preparing the five year plan, the C~ty Planner, Gary Sieb,
initially recommended that the MF 2 land ~e changed to various
types of single family, with the MF 2 land bping moved to front the
northeast side of the proposed Freeport extension. The remainder
of the tract would remain LI.
The owner objected to any single family designation. The
owner has proposed a plan to move the MF$ land south, to begin
across from commercially zoned property. 19 his proposal, the new
MF 2 land would form an L shape configuration around the single
family homes on Bethel Road, with the sout~ and east portions of /
the MF 2 being bounded by Bethel and t~e Freeport extension,
respectively. The remainder of the landlwould remain LI. In,'
return for this zoning, the owner has agreed to a 50 foot buffer
along Coppell Road and the single family ho~es on Bethel Road, and
the only ingress and egress to his development would be the
Freeport extension and Ruby Road.
The 141 acres are broken down by the ~ax Appraisal District
into four tracts, summarized as follows:
Tr 7 34.67a
Tr 8 1.00a
Tr 9 75.93a
Tr 30 29.7~a
141,32a
x 43,560 = 6,155,899 sq. ~t.
1981 value per Tax Appraisal District: $2,i532,970 or $.411 psf
1992 value per Tax Appraisal District: $6,i155,900 or $1.00 psf
The property is completely undeveloped. According to Ken
Griffin, Coppell engineer, the extension ofl Freeport to Ruby Road
would cost approximately $975,000, calculated as follows:
$260 per ft (80%) paid by the developer x 3i, 000 ft = $780,000
$65 per ft (20%) paid by the city x 3,000 Ift = 195.000..
$975,000
Water and sewer would cost approximately $400 per foot,
by the developer:
paid
$400 x 3,000 ft = $1,200,000
The cost of adding electricity to the development is unknown.
The owner of the land is NCH Col

by the Levy brothers. Sales for 1993 were
assets were $467 million.

Linas, and is 51% owned

The property was purchased in 1980i from Dallas Baptist
Association, price unknown. However, it iis believed that the
purchase price would be similar to the 19181 appraised value of
approximately $2.5 mill.ion. The property wa~ purchased to relocate
corporate headquarters, however, NCH was able to acquire adjacent
land to their headquarters in Los Coligas, making the move
unnecessary. The zoning at the time of purchase is unknown.
From 1981 through 1983, the owner pa~d $66,142 in property
taxes. In 1984, NCH acquired the "agricultural" use designation
on the property, and for the past ten years, it has only paid
$3,481 in property taxes. Currently, the~ property is used for
grazing cattle.
The subject property is located furtherlfrom the major traffic
arteries, IH 635 and Hwy 121, than most ~f the LI property in
Coppell, consisting of over 3,000 acres, i Furthermore, the LI
property located along Freeport is fully 9eveloped with streets
and utilities, as is the LI property a~ong Royal Lane. In
addition, the subject must compete with thelLI land along Freeport
between IH 635 and Hwy 114, which is also fully developed. Because
of these factors, it seems highly unlikely that the subject LI
property will be developed for many years.
Based on the above, it appears tha~ the only potential
immediate value to the developer is the M~2 land. This value,
based on $2.50 psf, is approximately $3 million, or. approximately
$500,000 greater than what the purchase pric~ is believed to be for
the entire 141 acres owned by NCH.
Should the MF 2 land be moved as ~equested by NCH, the
developer would have the option of only extending Freeport through
1/2 of his tract to just service the multif~mily land. Under this
scenario, it would be feasible for NCH to j~st sell the MF land to
a multifamily developer, fully recouping hi~ investment.
The MF 2 zoning designation allows 22

Currently, there are three apartment c~mplexes located within
the City of Coppell, as follows:
Town Creek - 192 units
Town Lakes - 230 units
Parks - 160 units
590 units
These projects are located adjacent t9 one another, located
at Moore and Parkway. The potential subject project would be
comparable to these three put together.
There is also an unnown number of unit~ in Valley Ranch whose
children attend CISD.
According to the new proposals of P&Z,i there are three other
undeveloped MF 2 sites, in addition to the ~ubject tract, located
in Coppell, described as follows:
1. 25 acres at Coppell Rd & Corporate Pa~k Blvd, located by Hwy
121. 25a x 22 = 550 units

3. 80 acres east of MacArthur, between B~ltline and Riverchase
Dr (Carrollton ISD) 80a x 22 units ~ 616 units

is considering seeking rezoning on an unkngwn amount of LI land,
located in the far northwest portion of thelcity by Hwy 121, to MF

The city does not own any land to iservice the southwest

According to Rick Foster, CISD, it is pro~ected that Wilson and
Pinkerton will be at full capacity by next year.
According to Rick Foster, there are 25~ students currently in
CISD from the Town Creek, Town Lakes, and parks Apartments. The
ratio of students to units is calculated asl follows:
257 % 590 units = .436 children per unitl
Using this ratio, the new project would provide the following
number of new students:
616 units x .436 = 269 children
The new project would require a new e%ementary school.

60%. Apartment complexes pay 22% of the cost per student,
calculated as follows:

TRAFFIC
Coppell Road is to remain a two lane ~oad.
Plans for Bethel Road, going west to ~ast,

There are no studies of traffic at pe~k periods.
It is estimated that the new project ~ould add 1.5 autos per
unit or an additional 900 vehicles. Theselvehicles would appear
at a minimum of two times a day at the intersection of Freeport and
6
Bethel (based on commuting to work, and excluding trips to the
grocery store, etc).
According to Ken Griffin, City enginger, this intersection
would require a traffic light. This lightiwould be located only
1,250 feet from the light at Coppell ~d and Bethel. This
situation, along with the bottleneck create~ by Bethel going from
four lanes to two lanes at Freeport, would cFeate a traffic problem
similar to the intersection of Sandy Lake and Moore Rd at rush hour
(EW study from Heartz to Moore down Sandy Lake showed 11,400
vehicles on 12/91).
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
Currently, the city excludes trucks carrying over two tons from
traveling down Moore Road.
The city also prohibits trucks carrying over two tons from
traveling on any city roads, with the following exceptions:
1. Beltline Rd
2. Denton Tap
3. Bona fide point of origin, meaning ~he truck was loaded
within the city
4. Bona fide point of destination, meaning the truck was
unloaded within the city
An illustration of 3 & 4 would be thel Minyards warehouse on
Freeport.
Any other ordinances prohibiting the Use of a specific road
(ie Coppell Rd), would have to be passed!by the City Council.
Because of the current commercial zoning on Coppell Road, such an
ordinance would appear to be impractical.
At the P&Z meeting on the subject pr,)perty, the P&Z seemed
intrigued by the developer's offer to elimirate direct access onto
Coppell Road. As a practical matter, with w]~ich both Gary Sieb and
Ken Griffin concur, no 18 wheelers would Leave the LI land and
travel down Coppell Road, a two lane road, and attempt to make a
right turn onto Bethel to access Bethel andi Freeport. Any use of
heavy duty trucks would necessitate the f%ll development of the
Freeport extension for direct ingress and iegress to Freeport or
Bethel. While it would be possible for lighter trucks to travel
Coppell Road, there is nothing in the current offer which would
prohibit leaving the Li development onta Ruby Road and then
7
traveling east to Coppell Road. Again, as a practical matter, any
one using the LI land in this development i~ going to want and use
access via Freeport.
The P&Z also seemed intrigued by the ~eveloper's offer of a
buffer zone. Currently, there is a naturallbuffer of trees, 10 to
15 feet in height, that separates the subjec~ property from Coppell
Road.
AIR TRAFFIC
The proposed project will be directly!under the flight path
of the new runway. I do not have the studi~s done on the effects
of noise pollution; however, this projecT would be much m~re
effected than the multifamily sites located ~n the northern portion
of the city because of the altitude the pla~es will obtain by the
time they get to the northern areas. Even still, persons buying
homes in the northern portion of the city are required to sign a
waiver that they will not sue because of the noise levels.
Another consideration would be the location of a new
elementary school to support the project.
USERS OF THIS PROJECT
This project would have no appeal to young singles or young
married couples with no children. Grapevine, Valley Ranch, Los
Colinas, and Vista Ridge provide much more tihan Coppell in the way
of entertainment, ie restaurants, clubs, mogies, shopping, etc.
While I do not have any figures, I dg not believe that an
apartment complex is needed to service the work force of Coppell.
The project does NOT serve the ma~or metroplex areas.
Grapevine and HEB better serve Fort Worth. i Valley Ranch and Los
Celinas better serve the Dallas and Los Colinas areas.
The project could have some appeal t~ the elderly, as they
could move to an area with a low crime rate.i It could also provide
housing for the parents of many of our cltllzens.
For all the above groups, the noise ~rom the airport would
have a negative impact.
In essence, the major drawing attract$on of this complex is
for people with children to have them ~n the Coppell school
district. The Coppell 2000 Survey indicated the f~llowing when
asked what impact the public school system ~ad on their reason for
living in Coppell (1 is lowest, 5 is highest):
1 2 3 4 5 Don't know Don'~ care
13% 6% 15% 18% 41% 3% ~% 100%
This survey was made during 1988. C~nsidering the growing
reputation of our school system (ie Pinker~on - exceptional), it
is assumed that the school system now influences the tremendous
growth in Coppell to an even greater degreel.
As a general matter, multifamily
community in other ways than just paying tax
their disposable income in their commu!
entertainment. However, Coppell is a un2
resident since 1984, I have seen many, manI
Coppell, only to leave after a short periol
~evelopments serve a
~s. Most tenants spend
.ity on shopping and
que situation. As a
~ businesses come into
i. Our lack of retail
success is evidenced by the vacant shoppingicenters that have been
in existence for many years. Unfortunately, Coppell residents
simply do not shop Coppell, other than for ~taples, fast foods and
professional services.
Now that there has been the tremendoUS growth of shopping,
movies, and restaurants in Grapevine and Vista Ridge, we are a city
caught in the middle, with very little ~ope of any retail or
commercial growth.
COST OF CITY SERVICES
The following information is taken fro~ the FISCAL IMPACT BY
EXISTING LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT study, i prepared by Luis C.
Costillo for the Coppell Economic Development Board in December of
!992. The effects on the General Fund by %xisting land use, per
acre, is summarized as follows:
9
COST PER ~EVENUES IMPACT
ACRES ACRE dER ACRE PER ACRE
LOW Density 1,680 2,478 2,316 (162)
Medium Density 125 3,023 1,838 (1,185)
High Density 95.6 4,037 2,379 (1,658)
Commercial 150 4,754 11,837 7,082
Light Ind 120 1,638 3,411 1,772
Public 350 2,746 829 (1,916)
Parks 64 1,135 672 (463)
Considering the average price now of new construction of
single family homes since 1992, it is believed that low density now
would have a positive impact on the General Fund. In fact, the
audited financial statements for the City o~ Coppell as of 9/30/93
indicated that the City received approximately $650,000 more in
revenues than had been budgeted for fiscal year 1993.
As can be seen from the above, the highest drain on the city
operations is from high density usage. The annual effect on the
General Fund by developing the current acreage, using the 1992
figures, is as follows:
1. Subject property
2. Coppell & Corporate Dr
3. North of Andy Brown East Park
4. Beltline & Riverchase
28a
25
70
8O
203a x ($1,65S) = ($336,574)
OTHER USES OF THE PROPERTY
A. Light Industrial
For the reasons stated earlier, it does not appear that this
property could be developed as LI for many years.
10
B. Senior Citizens Retirement Community
This idea was originally recommended in the Town Center
Development Sub-Committee of the Coppell 20!00 Report, prepared in
1988. A retirement community could be a successful development for
the following reasons:
1. Safety of Coppell would appeal to senior citizens.
2. Residents would be more likely to shop locally.
3. Would not put a burden on traffic.
4. Would provide nearby housing for the parents of our current
citizens.
5. Could possibly work in conjunction wi~h Baylor Grapevine.
6. Could attract additional medical facilities and professional
services.
While it is recognized that the city cannot designate a
special use in the MF 2 zoning, it would bel possible for the city
]
to work with NCH, the Office on Aging, andi a potential developer
of such a project to put the groups together.
C. Park
While it is realized that Andy Brown EAst Park is to provide
many new baseball and soccer fields, will ithis be sufficient to
handle a town of 40,000 people as projectedl by the year 2000?
In addition, a recreation center couldI be built to serve the
tremendous number of young people in our community.
Finally, our town is in need of an outdoor swimming pool.
Municipal Golf Course
According to John Falwe!l, head pro at ~ancaster Municipal and
formerly head pro at Indian Creek Municipal in Carrollton, a
municipal golf course in Coppell would be a! "gold mine".
Falwell stated that a 6,000 yard, par 70 "Executive 18" could
be built, with a club house, on a 140 acre ~ract (the size of the
NCH ~ract). Such a golf course would cos~ $4 to $5 m~on~ to
11
construct (the same cost as an elementary School), not including
the land.
A municipal golf course would charge f~es $10 to $15 cheaper
than River Chase Golf Course, the differenc~ due to the lack of a
management fee that River Chase pays to A~erican Golf Corp. At
these reduced rates, the municipal golf ~ourse would generate
approximately $1 million in revenues annually, with expenses being
$500 to $600,000. In addition, the Lancaster Municipal provides
jobs for 28 city employees.
Cost and income are summarized as follows, based on a
conservative approach:
Construction
Cost of Land from NCH
$5 million
3 million
$8 million
Annual Revenues
Annual Expenses
Annual Net Income
$1,000,000
600,000
$ 400,000
Backing out the cost of an elementar~ school which will no
longer be needed, it would take 10 years t9 repay the additional
$3 million of cost for the land, assuming aD interest rate of 5%,
with an annual payment equal to the net income ($400,000) from the
course.
Once the golf course is paid for, theicourse would generate
$400,000 of income yearly or $2,836 per acre. This figure is over
$t,000 more per acre than the positive impa~t of Light Industrial
as shown in the 12/92 study done by Luis iCastillo (See Cost of
Services section).
In addition to having a development that would directly serve
the community as well as providing income f~r many years to come,
Coppell would have an amenity which would attract future
development of the LI or office type lan~. Finally~ it would
enhance the value of the citizens' property! for resale.
it is realized tha~ the City and the sqnoo! district work ou%
of different funds and have different budgets, but the source of
%hese funds only comes out of one pocket, the taxpayer's.
12
EFFECTS ON MARKET VALUE OF CURRENT PROPERTYI OWNERS
It is impossible to quantify the effects on current property
values. I can only speak to my current sitpation.
I was the original purchaser of my home in Hunterwood in
October of 1984. I paid $132,500 and added i$2,500 in landscaping,
for a total of $135,000. At the time of my! purchase, Coppell was
a small town of 7,000 people, and the only ~ervices available were
a Stop & Go, the Dairy Queen, the strip sh~pping center at Sandy
Lake & Moore, and the Coppell Family PractiCe.
Last year, my property appraised at $10~,900. I just received
my new statement valuing my property at $1%8,000. I do not know
of any sales that justify this increase, b~t I assume the values
have gone up for two reasons: 1) the ~xceptional rating of
Pinkerton Elementary by the Texas EducatiOn Agency, and 2) the
developments of Big Cedar and Country Estates.
of the original owners on my street that I know about, three
were moved in past years by their jobs, andi their homes were sold
at substantial losses. One moved on his owb volition to the east
side of Coppell last year, selling his home fat a substantial loss.
Most of the original homeowners remain, ~ our
eve as families grow,
because many of us cannot afford to go tothe closing table with
$20,000 out of pocket.
Five others have or are in the process of moving, and are
leasing their homes on Cozby, as they cannot afford to sell at a
loss. Of these five, three have moved or are moving into Big Cedar
or Country Estates. These five have been able to lease their homes
easily at approximately $1,200 per month,I primarily because of
Pinkerton. These tenants are excellent neighbors, maintaining the
properties as well as the the original owners.
A concern is that, if housing were t~ be made available at
$400 to $800 per month, could the Cozby hom~s now being leased and
will be leased in the future continue to drew rents of $1,200 per
month?
According %o Gary Sieb, the reason f~r rezoning the other
seven MF tracts in Coppell was because they were near tc single
family housing. Presumably, 5his was done te mainsain the property
values of the current homeowners and protectltheir current standard
of living.
The citizens on the west side of Denton Tap hope you apply the
same considerations to the subject property, and find answers ~c
Lhe following ques5ions:
13
1. Will the CISD maintain its current standard of excellence?
2. Will traffic be a problem?
3. Will taxes become so high that the~~ cause a financial
burden on the citizens, and significantlydecrease the
number of potential buyers of homes?!
4. Will the "image" of the west side further decrease, causing
a further decrease in our property values?
I appreciate your time and effort in~ reading this lengthy
letter. I frankly do not know the answers ~o the above questions,
and I do not envy your job. I hope that! I have provided some
factual information that will assist you in making a proper
decision for all concerned. If you have any!questions of me, I can
be reached at 748-6558, or voice mail at 922-7272.

Ms. Marcia Tunnell
Chairperson
Planning and Zoning Commission
c/o Mr. Gary Seib
Director of Planning
City of Coppell
255 Parkway Blvd.
Coppell, TX 75019 March 23, 1994
Dear Ms. Tunnell:
I am wrting with regard to the proposed r~zoning of the land
adjoining Ruby and Coppell Raods.
I am fully in support of the change in zoning Srom MF-2 and 2F-9
to SF-7 north of Ruby Road and SF-7 or less desirably LI (if
there were to be at least a 5~ foot setback With screening from
Coppell Road with plantings and walls and n~ access to Coppell
Road).
Without these changes and with the addition of large numbers of
multifamily housing units on this land, the entire nature of this
part of Coppell would change. Currently it is a single family
area with limited traffic except in the earlyimorning and in the
late afternoon when it is slightly higher. The streets are safe
for people to jog, walk dogs, ride bikes, and for children to
cross. With the addition of high density ~ental housing, you
would have greatly increased traffic, much higher congestion, and
the presence of large numbers of people whosei commitment to the
area is limited to the terms of a lease. The ~ew school has been
built and already the classes are large. Were such a large
number of new housing units to be built, the student:teacher
ratio would be even worse, or there would bp a need for yet
another new elementary school resulting in higher taxes.
This area should be developed, but it shoul~ be developed in a
manner consistent with nearby existing development and with
development in Coppell in general. One of thS great attractions
of Coppell has been the fact that there~ is a plan for its
development, a vision of what we want Coppell to be like. So far
the commitment seems to be to a community of p~edominantly single
family homes with quality schools, a low crimel rateJ, attractive
commercial areas, and parks. We have sieen some commercial
development approve~ of which not all have keen in favor. We
have seen some home devlopment in areas which ~eople questioned
(Turkey Hill). We have not had everything we wished for in terms
of parks. Our schools while maintaining high quality have been
struggling with the effects of state legislation. Our taxes have
inevitably gone up. Only our commitment to Coppell and to its
future has remained constant.
Allowing multifamily housing in the area in ~uestion will erode
neighborhood spirit, reduce the quality ~of life in the
neighborhood, endanger our children's live~ as they deal with
higher traffic and busier streets, and for w~at? To meet the
needs of a developer who is only interested inihis own agenda not
that of the community. Developers have not, historically, been
those who had the best interests of a communSty at heart. They
have, however, consistently had THEIR OWN interests at heart. I
believe, and hope I am right, that you and t~e other members of
the Planning and Zoning Commission have the ~best interests of
Coppell and its citizens at heart. Like y~u, we have made a
long-term commitment to this community and to its future. Please
make a decision that considers us first.
Thank you for your attention and consideration~
Sincerely
Theo Theodosiou

high rate of transiency (which tends to be the

Since so much single family development is ~ lready the case in

Rs: Case #ZC-559(CH)
Dear Madam Chairman and Gentlemen:
Thi~ letter is to expressly ~ddr~ss certain matters
concerning the P[~LIC HF~RINGS to conslde~approval of a zonLng
change, Case #ZC 559(CH) as it relates to tho parcel of land
just to the South of Rt~y Road and to the W~st of Coppsll Road.
Much has been said, by various developers, about the fact
that when a city "Lowers" the zoning on · ~articular parcel that
the property owner has been damaged because of a ""Taking"" of
value/property r%ghts. I feel t~at it is ~scsssary to point o~t
that when the c~ty allows certain proper~ to be developed ~n
~uch a way that it imposes d~sproporti~nats and undue tax
increases upon other property owners, thane "Taking" from all
effected owners has resulted.
It appears that should the P&Z and thE~ City not rszon~ the
NCH parcel to LI totally, end that the MF zoning remaLn in
place, that the result will be a taking of the value and rights
of all current home owners in Coppe11 when apartments ~re
constructed. This taking will be simila~ to the taking which
occurred when the City permitted the development of the postal
fac~lity. It appears that little or no r%venue eccrues to the
City,.but the city and the tax payers have~ncurred extra police
and fxrs protection costs.
It would follow that if a developer

is charged long term

police, fire and the
perceive as a major
From recent meetings with PiS psrson~sl, it appears that
there is little or no re&l consideration o~coordinatlon between
ISD actions and the City actions. A oasu&l phone eel1 is not
sufficient! When the City P&Z Committee acts in such a way that
it triggers the construction of larger or &ddltional schools to

costs, the COmmittee ie placing undue burdens upon the current
property owners who are subject to taxes l~vied not only by the
City, b~t also the lSD. This type 0£ Jplanning has brought
Coppell citizens to the current high level of property taxes.
Hany of us are still unable to sell our h~mes for what we have
in them. It appears that as to income pro~erty, for every $1.00
increase in taxes levied, the owner experiences a $6.00 decline
in {value} market sales price!
During a recent P&Z meeting, n eom
committee member that the public appeared

'*Next to the right of liberty, the
right of property is the most important
individual right guaranteed
By the Constitut~on and the one
which, united with that Of
personal liberty, has ~ontr~huted
more to the growth of o~vili~ation
than any other institutign
established by the human race."
