Hi Mike
Just wanted to update you on a couple of items related to our project. I've
been talking with Andrea Roy regarding the status of the record re-plat that
was submitted for signatures a couple of weeks ago. She said it was in the
Engineering Dept. Can you tell me the status?
On another topic - About a month ago, we asked Alliance Architects to take
another look at the site development plan (with both parking schemes - same
as before) to see if it would be possible to increase the parking count and
still stay within the City rules regarding landscaped area, etc. We are
still working through this with the Planning Dept. to hopefully get this
approved at staff level. If approved, it would likely be implemented in two
parts: 1) some additional parking spaces at the lot currently under
construction (timing is important here since we would need to do the work
altogether), and 2) some modified configuration of the "future" parking lot
dedicating some additional spaces. This modified plan would give us luther
flexibility to attract more tenants.
Leasing update - unfortunately, none of the buildings have been leased yet.
But we're still confident and optimistic about future prospects. Coppell
has much to offer and will share in our ultimate success.
Andrea also said something about the Engineering Dept. re-assessing the
roadway impact fees? What is that all about?
As you will recall, the fees were assessed and paid based on 100% warehouse
use with the understanding that once the buildings are leased (and the
actual "use" determined), the remaining impact fees would be assessed and
paid prior to issuance of a building permit for the tenant improvements. It
was set up this way because, according to you, the City would not refund
impact fees once paid. Clearly, the possibility still exists that the
buildings will be used for 100% warehouse space - in that case no further
impact fees would be due.
Thanks for all of your help.
