Re: Alexander Court
Final Plat, FP -07 -0091
I am in receipt of your 12/28 comments for the acceptance of the Final Plat for recording
of our Alexander Court project. After thoroughly reviewing and carefully considering all
the DRC report comments, Sempco Surveying has corrected everything as requested,
except those items pertaining to the flood plain, abandoned sewer easement and a remark
regarding some "boundary dispute on the West side ".
The flood plain line delineated on our final plat is the 100 year line furnished by Nathan
Maier, Engrs. and the same one currently being processed through FEMA. Ken Griffin
is completely familiar with all the facts concerning the new line. He understands the
impracticality of showing two lines. To reproduce the old line, on the final plat, which
is commonly known to be grossly out of position, would be confusing to prospective
property o«mers and serve no lawful purpose, since it would substantially conflict with
the new more accurate 100 year line approved by FEMA. We want to plat all 29 lots at
once and the corrected 100 year flood plain line as shown on our plat.
The recorded documents of abandondment, of the 20 foot sanitary sewer easement,
have been provided to Ken Griffin. Since the easement is no longer of any physical
use or legal significance, it serves no useful purpose to show it on the final plat.
There again, like the old flood line, the non existent easement would only confuse
prospective lot owners and possibly lead them to believe that their new home might be
effected in some way. We do not think it is legally required or appropriate to illustrate
the old sanitary sewer casement that longer exists.
Regarding the West boundary of Alexander Court. The centerline of Grapevine Creek,
comprises the dedicated boundary, from Bethel to Denton Tap. Philip Berkebile had
some questions regarding our common property line and I referred him to Jim Brittain.
RPLS and the Chicago Title Company lawyers, who have written my Warranty Deed
and Title Policy, guaranteeing my free and clear ownership of the property, as it is
configured and delineated on the frnal plat for submission. I know of no ongoing
property dispute, or have I been furnished with any documents claiming such.

To my knowledge, all the detailed comments have been addressed and/or corrected,
as requested by staff. The flood plain issue has been thoroughly discussed numerous
times, the sewer easement has been legally abandoned and there is no boundary
dispute that could possibly effect a delay of recording the final plat. The FEMA report
is expected any time now, of which Ken Griffin is completely aware of and there is no
justification to further delay the recording of the final plat. Larry Jackson, of David
Weekley Classic Homes, will be providing the Covenants and Restrictions that will
follow the plat recording. Thank You.
