July 17, 2024 Ms. Ramie Hammonds City of Sanger PO BOX 1729 Sanger, TX 76266 Re: BOA Parking Variance – Malouf Commercial Phase 1 Chapman and IH 35 Letter of Intent Dear Ms. Hammonds, Please let this letter serve as the Letter of Intent for a landscape variance for the phase 1 commercial development located on the Northwest corner of Chapman and IH 35. The Sanger development code requires 20% of site area to be landscape. Based on the current site plans which matches the approved PD zoning site plan, we currently have 13% landscape provided. We feel this deviation is in line with the approved PD zoning exhibits. One element that impacts our ability to meet the 20% landscape requirement is the detention pond service our development is offsite and thus not counted in our calculations. We are requesting a variance to support our site plan with 13% landscape as shown. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Financial hardship shall not be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.

(Ordinance 08-28-11 adopted 8/1/11) On behalf of Denton County, TX, Enertech Resources is formally requesting a variance from the current zoning regulations to allow the construction of a public safety communications tower that exceeds the height restriction by 100 feet at 1175 Union Hill Road. The proposed tower, with a total height of 300, is essential to enhance public safety communications within Denton County. This infrastructure is critical for ensuring reliable communication among emergency services, including police, fire, and medical response teams, especially in areas currently experiencing significant coverage gaps. Justification for Variance: 1. Public Safety: The primary objective of this project is to improve public safety by ensuring seamless communication for Denton County. The additional height is crucial to cover a broader area, reduce dead zones, and enhance signal strength, thereby enabling prompt and coordinated responses to emergencies. 51 Item 7. New Braunfels | Austin | Houston | Dallas | Phoenix www.enertechresources.com 2. Technological Necessity: Modern public safety communications technology requires line-of-sight for optimal performance. The increased height of the tower will facilitate the use of advanced communication systems, ensuring our community benefits from the latest technological advancements in public safety. 3. Topographical Challenges: The geographical features of the proposed location necessitate a taller structure. The area’s natural elevations and obstructions hinder effective signal propagation at the current height limit. The additional 100 feet will mitigate these challenges and ensure comprehensive coverage. 4. Minimal Visual Impact: The proposed site has been carefully selected to minimize visual impact on the surrounding area. We have conducted thorough assessments to ensure that the tower’s height increase will not significantly affect the aesthetic value of the community. (Attached: EX1 – Photo simulations of the proposed structure) Conclusion: Granting this variance will have a substantial positive impact on our community’s safety and well-being. We are committed to working closely with the Zoning Board of Appeals and other relevant stakeholders to address any concerns and ensure the successful implementation of this project. We kindly request your favorable consideration of this variance application. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
