RE: Application for Tax Abatement from Robert J. Thacker
and Thomas R. Thacker --
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Following receipt of your letter of September 24, 1990,
Messrs. Thacker elected to move forward with their plan to purchase
5.01 acres, more or less, in Park West Commerce Center, City of
Coppell. In view of our discussions regarding the Application for
Tax Abatement and your advice, which was confirmed by subsequent
telephone conversations between myself and Mr. Al Blaine, it became
clear that the Application for Tax Abatement would not be favorably
considered, and if favorably considered the benefits derived there-
from would be minimal.
The contents of your letter dated September 24, 1990, and the
agreement of the City to waive $11,069.00 or more in fees was a
material consideration to my clients. We are moving forward to
close the purchase of the property on or about October 15. Prior
to closing we need your confirmation in hand as to the waiver of
the fees described in your letter of September 24th.
We also hereby withdraw the Application for Tax Abatement
transmitted to Gary Seib in my letter of August 13, 1990. Please
return the application fee of $1,250.00. Had we known in advance
the application had little or no possibility of being approved, we
would never have made the application; therefore we feel the return
of the application fee is required.
Please let me hear from you if you have any questions. Be
assured that Thacker Container Corporation is looking forward to
becoming a good citizen of the City of Coppell and fully expects to
expand its facilities in the future and materially contribute to
the pax vase uL y0ut Cii:y.

Ja es C. Tubb
The City of Coppell agrees to waive all of the fees described in
