RE: Variance for paving thickness - Thacker Container, 505 Air-
line Drive, Coppell, Texas
Dear Ms. Daneshmand:
This letter will serve as formal request to apply for variance in
the construction of the paving thickness for the above mentioned
project. Currently the drawings call for the truck court area
and fire lane area to be 6" thick concrete paving wlth~ #3's at
18" o.c. The request for variance would be to provide 5" thick
paving with #3's at 24" o.c. in all truck court and parking areas
with the fire lane to be 6" thick with #3's at 24" o.c.
Please notify this office if your department requires any addi-
tional correspondence or documentation to proceed with processing
of this application for variance.

MEMO
TO: Alan D. Ratliff, City Mana§er
~y L. Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services
FROM:
SUBJECT:' Request to Waive Pavement Thickness Requirements
DATE: July 16, 1991
This mornin§ the attached letter was delivered to Shohre requesting that
Council waive the 6" concrete pavement requirement for Thacker Container.
Although we have diligently worked with Thacker to make them welcome here
expediting processing, offering tax incentives, cooperating whenever
possible there comes a time when we must abide by our written
guidelines. Such is the case with this request.
We have granted 5" paving in some instances, but to do so in this instance
- an industrial user in an industrial district in an industrially zoned
area borders ~n irresponsibility. I can not endorse this particular
request at this particular location, and urge the Council to not grant
this waiver. Doing so will set a dangerous precedent, send the wrong
message to the development community, is discriminatory in nature, and
just does not make sense in our industrial areas which generate heavy
truck traffic.
