FAX (81 3) 780-0005 <br /> <br />April 19, 2004 <br /> <br />Mr. Josh Thakrar <br />18150 Sandy Pointe Drive <br />Tampa, FL 33647 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Thrakrar: <br /> <br />This letter is to confirm our conversation of April 16, 2004, regarding the <br />City of Zephyrhills providing economic development credits for <br />transportation impact fees to Orbital Corporation for construction of your <br />business on Chancey Road, just east of the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport. <br /> <br />As we discussed, your eligibility for incentive credits depends on the <br />number of new employees you hire at Orbital and the total square footage <br />of industrial and commercial space constructed. Your immediate plans to <br />employ eight (8) new employees and construct a 6,000 square foot <br />office/warehouse building does not meet the city's current economic <br />development incentives ordinance. However, because you plan to employ <br />more than 15 new employees and possibly build two or more buildings, <br />you then may become eligible. To accommodate your ability to construct <br />the new warehouse and relocate your business to Zephyrhills, I <br />recommend that you pay the required 25% down on transportation impact <br />fees and a reasonable down payment on utility connection fees (amount to <br />be determined). Then we can assess your construction and employment <br />plans and determine your eligibility, if any, for economic development <br />incentives. <br /> <br />Please don't hesitate to contact me should you require any further <br />information. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />S;fAJ(~r ~- 0'-.- <br />Steven F. sMa <br />City Manager <br /> <br />cc: Bill Burgess, Building Official <br />Karla Owens, city legal counsel <br />
