Dear Jim:
I want to thank you and your staff for promptly
reacting to our concerns last week. It is refreshing to
see that our issues will be heard and given full
consideration by the City.
In regards to your May 24, 1996 letter recapping the
events of last week, I wish to comment as follows:
1. Your letter and Clay Phillip's letter both indicate
that our rack plan is approved as submitted. You
issued the building permit without any
qualifications and denoted on the fire prevention
plan review notes that item 10 was deleted. Again,
I appreciate your help on this critical item. Our
rack and equipment plans are the back bone of our
operation in Texas.
2. In paragraph 3 of your letter you discuss rack
storage construction prior to final C.O.. We
will need to install not only our bulk storage
rack, prior to final C.O., but also our front line
picking modules and conveyor system. The
installation of our equipment does not require any
special construction techniques or procedures. If
you or your staff have any questions please contact
me. If necessary, I will organize a conference call
with our equipment vendors to discuss further.
3. I appreciate the detailed review being done on
the storm sewer situation. As we discussed, we
have agreed to put it in, but would prefer not
to do so at this time. We are willing to have
water back up on our property in the event of
a 100 year rain. With the land to the north
and south of us undeveloped, putting in our
portion of a solution does not seem appropriate
at this time. I agree, a face-to-face meeting
will be the best forum to resolve once we have
analyzed the options.
Again, I really appreciate your help in clearing some
hurdles and helping us review storm sewer options. We
are also looking forward to building a strong relationship
with the City of Coppell and the character displayed last
week reinforced our decision to build in Coppell.
George Kern, who will be running the facility, and I
hope to finalize plans to come down in sometime in June,
where we could further discuss the issues noted above. Once
our plans our finalized, I will give you a call to set up a
convenient time to meet.
