TO: Ron Ragland, City Manager
FROM: Scott Barnett, Planning Co-ordinator
DATE: April 3, 1984
SUBJECT: Gateway Industrial Park
The preliminary plat and final plat of Gateway Park was approved on April 27,
1982 by the Planning and Zoning Commission and September 30, 1982 by the City
Council, (copy of the minutes are attached). According to the Planning and
Zoning minutes, the plat approval consisted of the construction of the bridge
and Gateway Boulevard from Freeport Parkway to Beltline Road. In regard to
variances given to the plat pertaining to Subdivision requirements, I made
an overview of the construction details and it did not appear that they deviated
from the minimum criteria of that ordinance. Since none of the 323 acres of
property has been subdivided and plated other than the Right of Way of Gateway
Boulevard and the mainline utilities, it does not appear, referring to the
minutes, that any variances were granted in relation to the tracts Light
Industrial zoning district classification.
A final design of street lighting, consisting of 27-250 watt High Pressure
Sodium Lights, was designed by TP & L (attached) and upon request, Mr. John
Morgan will submit by Friday, April 6th, 1984, a construction schedule on
when these installations will commence. A fee of $14,693.40 was accessed and
received for operation and maintenance of street lights for the initial
three (3) year period required in Ordinance #226, Section 6, Subsection 6.08.
An acceptance of this development was made on November 15, 1983 by Ross
Orenduff, Director of Public Works. A copy of his acceptance letter is
attached.

Dear Mr. Burnett:
We have established the street lighting requirements
for Gateway Business Park ~%~%~%R~ located ~% on
Gateway Blvd. in the City of Coppell. Our pro-
posed ~esign calls for 27-250W HPS street light (s).
Our existing rate for this fixture, as approved by the
Public Utility Commission, is 11.45 per month. The
yearly rate is calculated to be 27 lights x 11.45
/month x 12 months or 3709,80
These values are subject to change and cannot be guar-
anteed because of variable fuel costs. Texas Power & Light
Company cannot be held responsible for the dissemination of
these numbers by the city, nor can the accuracy of a compar-
ison to actual bills be guaranteed.
Sincerely,
