Re: 440Wrangler, Suite 500, Coppell
Tom,
I have asked Chief Robert Kruse to look into this situation. Bob is responsible for both the Fire Marshal
and Chief Building Official. Please understand that I am not aware of the details of your project. There
may very well be circumstances that resulted in a protracted plan review process. However, we need to
do a good job of communicating with our development and construction community.
Toward that end, I would ask that you contact Chief Kruse directly at (972)304-3500 or email at
bkruse@ci.coppeil.tx.us to discuss the details of this issue and to ensure no other needed information is
missing.
Feel free to contact my office directly if you so desire. We look forward to your being a corporate citizen of
our community.

Dear Greg Jones:
On August 16, 2001 your office received plans for the flnishout of 12,000
square feet of space at 440 Wrangler, Suite 500, Coppell, Texas. On or
about September 10, on the contractor's inquiry, the fire marshall inquired
on what we will be making at this location. On our last conversation you
stated that the process takes 15 days from the date of submission with all
the answers. As I stated that September 25 was not reasonable, you agreed
to see what could be done.
1. We are a manufacturer of spraybooth equipment with two factories in
Canada. This location will house our corporate office, parts and filter
inventory similar to a distributorship operation. No manufacturing will be
conducted at this location, The fire marshall was concerned that Blowtherm
would operate spraybooth equipment, yet this question was not asked until
September 107 Fifteen days after August t6 is August 31 by my
calculation yet your inquiry did not happen until ten days later.
2. You have now left me a message stating that the permit has been
expedited and will be available early next week, maybe Tuesday. THIS IS 33
DAYS AFTER SUBMISSION.
LET ME STATE THIS AS STRONG AS I CAN. YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS PERMIT HAS
BEEN HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL.
Your actions will cost our company in excess of $37,000 in hold over
rent. You have caused us significant problems as our current location is
already leased and we may be forced to vacate with no place to go.
We will soon be a tax payer in your city and a number of our employees live
in your city. We expect from you no further delays and an immediate
response to the issuing of this permit. Please be prepared to perform all
required inspections timely and in a professional manner.
Sincerely,
Thomas Gage, CFO
Blowtherm USA, Inc.
