Mr. King,
Although not in writing, it is the City of Coppell Fire Department policy to have a minimum of one fire
hydrant per commemial development. However, after reviewing your site and the locations of existing fire
hydrants, it has been determined that an on-site fire hydrant will not be required for your project. If you
have any questions or comments concerning this issue, please contact me directly.

Hello Tim,
I hope things are going well for you. I understand that you are very busy
these days so I'll try not to take up too much of your time. My wife Lori
spoke with Debbie Cravey this morning regarding the final hurdle we are
having regarding the construction of our new building. We were wanting to
explore some of our options and visit with you about them. She suggested
we send you an email and copy her in which we have done.
I know you must be swamped right now and if you had rather us speak to Mike
we would be happy to do so. Briefly, we would like to discuss if we can
possibly get an exception or variance regarding putting in a fire plug on
our property. There are already two plugs within 150 ft of where our
structure is going to be, one being on the northwest corner of Sandy Lake
and one just across the street on Moore which is probably the closest. It
is my understanding that it is not common practice to have a fire plug on
all four corners of an intersection, so it seems that we are adequately
covered in this regard.
Charlene LaMattina: Fwd: Re: Nationwide Insurance Building Sandy Lake & MOore Page 2 I
Our contractor stated that if we have to bore under Sandy Lake to place
another plug, that it will tear up the newly improved street, causing
signifcant problems for traffic and time and expense for all involved,
resulting in extensive repairs, etc. Using one of the two fireplugs that
are well within 150 feet of our structure seems to be the most practical
answer for all parties involved.
The engineering department indicated that this was a fire department call
so we wanted to discuss it with you.
Thanks for your help and your consideration.
David King
