Dear Ms. Daneshmand:
Pursuant to your December 4, 1990 memo to Steve Goram, our
December llth meeting with the staff, William Dahlstrom and Don
Davis, and the ensuing December 13th letter from William
Dahlstrom, we offer the following comments.
Prior to discussing specific details of each of the items in
question, may we please provide a brief overview that may help
explain our position.
The Master water and Wastewater Plan is a plan which provides for
the location and sizes of future water and sewer mains to
accommodate the ultimate development of the City.
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is an incremental 5-10 year
plan for the orderly development of the City's utilities
infrastructure. CIP projects may be done by the City or private
developers.
The Impact F~es are project specific fees. They may only be used
for the projects that are listed in the Impact Fee Study. These
projects are normally part of the 5 - 10 year CIP plans. It is
entirely possible that a project can be listed in CIP plans but
not in the impact fees. If a project is listed in the Impact Fee
Study and is constructed as part of a development, then the
developer would receive a credit against any future impact fees
that may be applied to his development.
It is our understanding that if a project is listed in the Master
Plan or CIP plan, as being required, and not included in the
impact fees, then the current Subdivision Ordinance regarding
pro-rata or oversizing of lines will be in effect.
Considering the above comments, the following specific items are
addressed.
17103 Preston Road · Suite 100 · LB 118 · Dallas, Texas 75248 · Phone 214/248-4900
Regarding the comment about replacing the 8" waterline along
Belt Line, from Wrangler to Southwestern, the City's Master
Water Plan indicates that a 16" waterline is required.
Since this line is not shown in the current Impact Fee
Study, the developer should be required to install the 16"
with the City participating in the cost of oversizing (from
12" to 16") as per the current subdivision ordinance.
We have no objections to replacing the 8" waterline along
Southwestern with a new 8" line in lieu of the suggested 12"
line, as Howard Pafford suggested.
Regarding the 24" sanitary sewer line comment, it is our
opinion that the developer should be required to install the
24" sewer line at this time. The 24" line is indicated on
the Master Sewer Plan and included in the Impact Fee Study
as being needed, and has been adopted as part of the Impact
Fee Ordinance. The developer will be reimbursed for his
costs, of the installation of the line, with a credit
against future impact fees, in accordance with the city of
Coppell Impact Fee Code, Ordinance No. 90478.
The box culvert issue in Southwestern Annex is still
unresolved at this time. We have no further comments on
this issue.
Should you have any questions or need further information, please
contact our office.
Sincerely,
Gabe Favre
