(State Highway 12 1)
Grapevine, Texas
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Conditional Use Permit for Frank Parra Dodge was approved by the City of Grapevine in
July, 2000. Construction is presently under way on this 90,918 square foot showroom %
service center, and completion is scheduled for July of this year.
Frank Parra Autoplex, Inc. is proposing to expand the previously approved Dodge dealership
with the addition of a 22,536 square foot Mitsubishi showroom /service center.
All aspects of the proposed expansion have been coordinated with the previously approved
site plan. All vehicular circulation has been integrated with the existing dealership, and no new
curb cuts are proposed onto either William D. Tate Avenue or Prospect Parkway.
As requested by the City staff, we are revising the previously -approved site -plan --to provide a
200 foot deceleration lane to the driveway accessing William D. Tate Avenue. We are also
providing for all buildings to be set back over 220 feet from the current front property line in
anticipation of the future widening of State Highway 121.
The site design, to the best of our knowledge, meets or exceeds all requirements of the City
of Grapevine Zoning Ordinance, including open space and landscaping provisions.

Frank Parra Autoplex, Inc. anticipates the Dodge dealership will employ approximately 100
people, including sales personnel, office staff and service technicians. The proposed Mitsubishi
dealership will employ an additional 30 people.
In addition to the economic impact generated by the employment, the development will also
generate significant tax revenue for the City of Grapevine, Tarrant County and the Grapevine-
Colleyville Independent School District. The Frank Parra Autoplex Chevrolet / Mitsubishi
facility in Irving is of a similar magnitude to the facility proposed in Grapevine. The following is
a summary of the taxes paid in Irving by Frank Parra Autoplex, Inc. in 2000:
Personal Property Taxes
$
87,627.00
Real Property Taxes
$
525,694.00
Vehicle Inventory Taxes
$
386,534.00
Retail Sales Taxes
$
679,609.00
Subtotal
$
1,679,464.00
Motor Vehicle Sales Tax
$
8,915,198.00
Grand Total
$10,594,662.00
Enclosed for your review are renderings of the Frank Parra Dodge facility (currently under
construction), the proposed Frank Parra Mitsubishi expansion building (just south of Dodge),
the Dodge showroom (which is representative of the treatment to be applied to Mitsubishi),
and the overall site development.
Frank Parra Autoplex, Inc. looks forward to being a respected corporate citizen of the City of
Grapevine. We feel that the proposed development will be an enhancement to the area and
a benefit to the City. The Conditional Use Permit revision addressing the Mitsubishi
expansion is scheduled for the April 17, 2001 joint meeting of the City Council and the
Planning & Zoning Commission.
If you have any questions or need additional information about the expansion, please call me
at (972) 252-5357 or Mickey Seiler at (972) 721-4300. We would also be happy to meet
with you individually if you desire.
Sincerely,
