Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Coppell
Dear Commission Members:
The attached application requests your consideration to zone the
described property on which the Riverchase clubhouse, cart storage and
parking lot are being built, to provide for a "restaurant with private
club" permit in order that alcoholic beverages may be served.
Our structure and site useage as under construction, will require
variance from requirements in ordinance no. 297-A-28 as follows:
1) Square footage of the air conditioned part of our clubhouse
is 1,524 square feet plus 497 square feet of patio, for a
total of 2,021 square feet.
2) Exterior signs shall say - "Riverchase Golf Club".
3) Food preparation and storage area will occupy 160 square feet
or 7.9% of the total restaurant area including patio. Non-food
preparation and storage will equal 92.1% of the total area of
2,021 square feet.
4) Our snack bar operation in this clubhouse may produce non-
alcoholic food and drink sales of approximately 50% of total
food and alcoholic beverage combined sales. We can provide the
commission with actual sales statistics of other golf courses
in Texas operated by American Golf Corporation, as evidence of
our usual sales percentages of alcoholic vs. food sales.
5) The clubhouse site is located less than 300 feet from resi-
dential zoned district (this property is vacant and there are
no structures within 2,000 yards).
6) There will be no designated waiting areas in this clubhouse
and therefore no screening devices.
We know of no other requirements that our plan does not meet.

~9'e will sell alcohol only to members of the American Golf Club who
are patronizing the golf course. Our food service will be a snack bar
type service to convenience our golf customers. We plan to build another
clubhouse when the course annual revenue becomes sufficient to justify a
larger building. We expect this to occur within five years. This
facility will close 30 minutes after dark.
Sincerely,
