Of course this is our "generic" sidewalk easement document used to cover all basis.
You are correct that we, the city, will make modifications to the stone around the
monument sign and restore it to its original condition or as close as possible with
available materials. The "remove obstructions" portion pertains to situations where it
is not possible to build the sidewalk unless obstructions/debris/vehicles, etc are
present; which does not apply to you. Instead of removing the monument sign, we are
modifying the base.
The portion about "Grantee shall not be obligated for future maintenance and upkeep of the
surface area" refers to maintenance of the grass (mowing), vegetation, or any other items
that are not the sidewalk or retaining wall.
I will include this e-mail in the file for record. Hopefully, I have clarified all of
your concerns. If not, absolutely let me know! We are definitely not trying to misle r
misconstrue our intentions.

Hello DiWanna,
In reading the Sidewalk Easement, I have the following questions/issues:
1. Last paragraph. "Grantee shall, except for removed obstructions, ifet~xX'rn th
area of the Easement to its original condition as [~
nearly as practical...." The language, "except for removed
obstructions" should be stricken. It's my understanding that it is necessary to
modifications to the rock around the monument sign. I thought it was our ag eem
the city would put this back to its original condition as close as possible.
2. Last sentence, "...Grantee shall not be obligated for future maintenance and upkeep of
the surface area." This should be "Grantor".
Thanks.
Jay

Hello Jay,
Thanks for working with the city on this sidewalk project! I have attached the easement
documents that will need to be signed and returned to me. As I stated in our last
conversation, the city will build and maintain the proposed retaining wall that will be
located on your property.
I am in the process of working with the other property owners to move forward with this
project.
I know the citizens are excited about continuous sidewalk along Denton Tap and I think it
will have a positive outcome for businesses along Denton Tap and the City of Coppell.
I will keep in touch and work with you on the construction timeline and all that comes
with that once we get to that point. If you have any questions, suggestions, or want to
inquire on the status of the project; please don't hesitate to call or email me.
Thanks again and talk to you soon!
Sincerely,
