To: Planning Dept. —City of LaPorte .Attn: Tint Tietjens From: Billy Coleman, ACT Independent Turbo Services Dear Mr_ Tietjens, ACT hadependent Turbo Services is a rapidly growing business currently located near Hobby Airport in Houston. Capital investment of b20mm over 4 years is well under way to facilitate further growth of the business. ACT Independent Turbo Services would life to purchase a large parcel of land in the City of LaPorte to relocate the existing business and greatly. expand the current size. Enclosed are details about the company and the proposed plan. By this lever, ACT Independent Turbo Services formally and respectfully proposes this plan for approval by the City of Laporte. The growth plan for ACT requires that land be purchased by raid Jan. 2012 in order to stay on schedule. We would ask that the City of LaPorte expedite the approval process if possible. Laporte is our first choice, but if we cannot get approval soon we will be forced to move on other options outside LaPorte where zoning is already industrial. The site plan proposed includes a very generous "green belt" in combination with vet bottom retention pond to produce an attractive frontage view along Bay Area Blvd. The crane buildings will be over 400 feet from Bay Area Blvd., and hidden from view due to the green belt. The ftiture administration building will be brick construction with appropriate landscaping. I have worked in LaPorte for over 27 years and believe that it is a great place to live and do business. We are eager to meet with the City Staff, the .Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council to discuss the plain. Please call me with any questions or comments you may have. Sincerely, ,&Z d w-- Billy Coleman Chief Operating Officer ACT Independent Turbo Systems 8525 Freeland St. Houston Texas, 77061 Cell## 713 - 898 -4906
