OTHER REP.:
DATE: April 6, 1992
The City has received a request from William Anderson with Dan Dowdey &
Associates to delay the payment of a portion of the development fees ior
Waterside Estates No. 2. This request is based on the fact that the
development is being built in two phases, even though the entire property
was platted at one time. Typically, fees are required to be paid when the
property is platted. If the delay is approved, the payment of
approximately 51% of the required fees will be delayed until Phase II
develops. This is based on the fact that only 64 out of 132 lots are
included in Phase I. The 51% works out to a delay in payment of
$65,589.23 plus the street light assessment and the 2% inspection fee.
The fee to be paid for Phase I is $61,662.00 plus the street light
assessment and the 2% inspection fee.
The concept of phasing has been used on other projects in the past. Most
recently, the Devonshire Addition phased their construction even though
the entire area was platted at one time. In the case of the Devonshire
Addition, all the fees were paid when the property was platted not when
the property developed.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.

II. Comments/Recommendation:
We wish to express our opposition to the request by the
developers of Waterside Estates to delay the payment of
approximately 50% of assessments until Phase II is ready for
development. We are concerned as to the precedents that
might be established.

Re: Waterside Estates No. 2
Fee Schedule
We have received the fee schedule for Waterside Estates Phase
Two. As you know, we are proposing to construct the project
in two phases. Due to the complex utility construction, i.e.
shallow sanitary sewer main and the existing lake areas, we
designed the entire 132 lot plans and prepared the final plat.
We are requesting that the City Council allow us to pay for
construction related fees when phase two is developed since
street lights, water meters, street signs, etc. are not
anticipated to be needed currently.
Attached is a revised fee schedule that we respectfully request
be honored.
I appreciate your help in this matter and would like to be on
the April 14, 1992 City Council Agenda regarding this matter.
Very truly yours,
William A. Anderson, P.E.

RE: Waterside Estates No. II
Development Fee Assessment
Dear Mr. Griffin:
As requested by your letter on January 27, 1992, the fees for Waterside Estates are due at the
time of final plat approval. We have sent a request to ask the City of Coppell City Council to
allow us to pay only the fees associated with Phase One construction. T/fs
rhis council meeting is scheduled for April 14, 1992.
We will pay Phase One fees at this time to complete the requirements for approval of the
construction plans. If the City Council denies our request we agree to pay the remaining fees,
which relate to Phase Two as stated in your letter. We will submit a check no later than April
16, 1992, to the City of Coppell for those remaining fees.
Sincerely,
Michael W. Brady
President
