Overview• This is a long term investment for the City• Current status ‐
minimal taxes generated from 1661 acre site
• Cost of infrastructure into area is high and would be prohibitive
for the City to undertake without private development
commitment• Proposal on table is for creation of partnership where
– Capital cost financing is provided by private group– Reimbursed in part through existing programs
• Developer can proceed with quality development• City gains
– Potential 'windfall' to general fund of $17+ million annually in
approximately 23 years
– Opportunity to advance other goals of affordable housing (20%), M/WBE
hiring for construction work (25%) and stringent urban design standards
for area
– Opportunity to realize substantial growth while minimizing costs
and risk

Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND)The Project intends to utilize a comprehensive planning system called Traditional Neighborhood Development to include a variety of housing types and land uses in a defined area including educational facilities, civic buildings and commercial establishments to be located within walking distance of private homes.
A TND is designed to include a network of paths, streets and lanes suitable for pedestrians as well as vehicles which provides residents the option of walking, biking or driving to places within their neighborhood.
Present and future modes of transit are also considered during the planning stages.
Public and private spaces have equal importance.

lake.
• Build Out Goals– 4+ million square feet of Commercial Office Space– 10,000 Multi-Family and Single Family Residential Units with waterfront living with
parks and parkways, plazas, water features, hike and bike trails, playgrounds, sports fields, swimming pools, community centers and workout facilities

• In 2004, Billingsley purchased 360 acres from TXU at Northlake– During the zoning process, Coppell ISD and the City of Coppell filed condemnation
claims on this land– City of Coppell lost the case due to lack of jurisdiction and CISD was awarded the right
to condemn; appeals filed• In 2007/08, Billingsley bought an additional 715 acres• In late 2008, as part of the settlement process
– Billingsley agreed to sell 122 acres to CISD which plans for up to 3 school sites and one 20 acre administrative campus
– City of Coppell purchased 558 acres– TXU (now Energy Future Holdings and Luminent) retains 55 acres (which includes a
power plant), 7 drill sites, transmission lines and easements• Power plant can stay for up to 10 years; however TXU has given written notice it intends
to begin removing it over the next 3 years. At closing, the lake
size will be 360 acres• City of Coppell is responsible for lowering the lake level
– Billingsley agreed to a cap of 10,000 residential units• During this period, the developer, the Cities of Dallas and Coppell have worked
to establish an efficient utility delivery plan• In June 2009, an MMD was established on 947 acres
– Permits multiple financing options for public infrastructure/municipal service costs

Financing Strategy
35
36
Financing Strategy
• Share costs between City, developer, and future growth
• All up‐front funding ($217.2m) will be provided by developer with reimbursement
from City and/or TIF/MMD • Cost share:
– Developer
$133.8m (61.6%) – TIF/MMD
$ 68.9m (31.7%)
– DWU capital fund $ 14.6m (6.7%)
36
* Costs are represented in 2009 dollars
37
Financing Strategy
• Several financing/transitioning partners were identified/developed:
– Developer Billingsley – City of Dallas’
Water Capital Funds
– Municipal Management District (MMD)– Tax Increment Financing Zone (MMD/TIF)– City of Coppell
37
38
Financing Strategy
• These partnerships provide:– Short term provision of utilities
– Taxing authority needed for bonding– Funding through Chapter 49 participation– Funding for non‐infrastructure city services– Up front financing for the water, sewer and roads
through direct funding and the issuance of bonds
– Mechanisms to reimburse developer and provide revenue stream for operating agreements, long
term participation/maintenance
38
39
Financing Strategy ‐
Phasing
• Immediate provision of utilities are being coordinated through the Cities of Dallas and Coppell and TRA
• For all major infrastructure improvements, developer is providing up front financing
• Development of infrastructure will be driven by area build out
• Reimbursements to developer will be handled by:– Coordination of Water Department bond financings– Generation of TIF increment– MMD Fees
