RE: Connell Bible FellowshigFee Assessments
Dear Mr. Clark:
I received your letter dated October 3 in reference to the waiver of city fees as assessed by our
Engineering Department under the city's Impact Fee Ordinance, as authorized by the State of Texas.
In reviewing your letter, as well as the city's Impact Fee Ordinance, a Public Hearing must be held before
the City Council in order to grant a waiver from the Impact Fees as established by Ordinance. Said
Hearing wilt be scheduled for October 22, 2002 at the regular City Council Meeting. Council Meetings
begin at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers here at Town Center. I will be enclosing a copy of your letter,
plus the attached Exemption Application supplied by the Dallas Central Appraisal District as backup to
this agenda item.
During the Public Hearing you may present your case regarding your request for waiver. Let me advise
you that as of this date, the city of Coppell has not waived any Impact Fees for any churches in our
community.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Also, please advise if the October 22
date is inconvenient or if you cannot attend.
Re~pectfi;lly,
Ji`itt

Fee Assessments
October 3, 2002
We are in receipt of a letter to ivathan D. iviaier Cunsulting Engineers, inc.:eferenci:gig
Fee Assessments dated September 20, 2002 from the City Engineer's Office. We were
not aware of the number nor the amount of the fees listed. With this letter we are
requesting the City of Coppell waive our Fees as we are anon-profit, tax- exempt entity
(See attached letter from the Dallas Central Appraisal District dated March 14, 2001).
We have worked closely with City Staff over the past few weeks toy gain City Council
approval. We are truly grateful for this approval and appreciate all who have spent their
time and energy to make our project a success.
As anon-profit entity, every dollar we can save gives us more resources we can use
toward church-related items (ministries, furniture, interior knishes, etc.). This first step
for our church is a big one as we are going from nothing to a modest building with site
preparation to provide for two additional future buildings. In our contact with the Oak
Bend Estates Home Owners Association, we were not able to save money on a living
fence. The screen wall, which the Home Owner's Association wanted, will cost us an
additional $30,000. The high cost of site work and the required exterior finishes has put a
strain on the construction budget. Perhaps the City of Coppell will help us in our quest
to establish a permanent presence in Coppell by waiving the Assessment Fees.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Very truly yours,
