Alford Media-CS 970520City of Coppell Planning Department 255 Parkway Blvd. Coppell, Texas 75019 To whom it may concern: AIford Media looks forward with great anticipation to maki permanent headquarters. Alford Media Services was incorporated in 1989 with five employees. In the past eight years it has grown to be nationally respected as a premier audio-dsual staging and rental company. Alford stages some of the largest, most technically challenging events for Fortune 500 companies all across the nation. Additionally in 1991 Alford Media Sales, Inc. was created as a design- build audio-visual company and has served the industry in the areas of AV equipment sales, design, install and repair. Alford Media currently employs over seventy out of their Dallas office as well as seven personnel out of their Atlanta and West Coast offices. The past two years Alford Media has been honored as one of the fastest growing privately held businesses in the metroplex. Currently annual billings exceed seventeen million. May 20, 1997 The Coppell location AIford Media desires to build on is ideal in many respects. It is near DFW Airport which is of the highest priority. It is near a large part of the AIford employee's places of residence. It is in a wooded area that is conducive to the image and type of company Alford Media is and plans to remain. Unwilling 1o be "just another company" in a traditional industrial park, Alford Media desires to create a work environment that is unprecedented in the audio-visual industry. Employees and clients alike will enjoy working in the friendly, nature conscious environment of Atford Media. The demonstration areas will be unparalleled in their combination of the use of cutting-edge technology in the midst of natural surroundings. Open space offices and tech areas will continue the nature- embracing theme. Conference rooms, a large breakroom and a company library will be enjoyed by employees and visitors alike. The Conference Center (existing house) will serve as an escape for "think tank" sessions and departmental meetings as well as provide refuge for out of town guests. We have enclosed information on Alford Media so that you may have a better understanding of who we are and what we do. We look forward to creating a one of a kind facility that will serve our needs now and into the next century, We believe AIford Media will be a source of pride for the city of Coppell and the entire metroplex. We look forward to working with you and being a prized industrial resident of the city of Coppell. Sincerely, Steve AIford President ALFORD MEDIA SERVICES, INC. 12901 Hutton Drive · Dallas, Texas 75234 · 214/241-9400 · Fax 214/241-0800 Project Overview Our plans call for an approximately 45,000 sq. ft. building to be built on the 14.5 acre property. The building will be about two-thirds warehouse and one-third office/showroom. The warehouse will include six docks and truck parking space. Car parking should accommodate eighty to ninety cars. The entire project build should impact only about three of the fourteen point five acre property. We have no immediate plans to develop on the remainder of the property and would like to keep it in its natural state. Our plans call for about a two hundred foot driveway off of State Street to the parking area. We plan to follow the existing dirt road as much as possible to again keep the site as natural as possible. Parking areas will be created while keeping the larger trees in the area. As traffic turns into our project off of State Street they'll drive on a slightly curved, heavily tree lined driveway. On their last curve they will be greeted by a handsome one story office building backed up by an eighteen foot high warehouse. The direction and design of the building will shield traffic from immediately seeing the warehouse docks and loading area. Handicapped parking will be clearly marked and a firelane will perimeter the building with turnarounds at the southeast and northeast corners of the building. Our truck traffic is extremely light compared to most industrial tenants, On average we have three of four various sized trucks coming or going a day. We would route all of our truck traffic north on State Street, From our calculations only two or three trees on State street currently hang below thirteen feet and would need to be trimmed some, With the city of Coppell's help it has been determined that adequate water can be attained at the west end of Oak Grove Street. Sewer hook up is found further west into our propen~, We wilt run water and sewer from these sites west to our building at our expense. The distance is approximately one thousand feet. The property has an existing "ranch style" house on it, The owners of the property were adamant about the thidy four year old house being preserved. Our plans call for bringing the utilities up to code in the house, freshening up its look and using it as a company Conference Center, We have chosen Bullard Construction Inc. as our general contractor. They have over twenty-five years of industrial and commercial building experience in the Dallas area. Steve and Tom Alford are available to answer questions and/or meet with anyone regarding this project as needed. Additional company information is available on request.
