Keith,
I will be out of town beginning tomorrow morning through July 12, but I can be reached by cell phone anytime (my
cell number is listed below). I am leaving my landscape architect, Harold Leidner and his staff with the task of
working with you and the City related to our driveway approach and the retaining wall issues while I am away.
But, please feel free to call me at anytime. Harold’s office number is (972) 418-5244.
The one thing I can tell you regarding the retaining wall is that we will definitely want to put a stone veneer on the
North side of the wall facing our house. So that we can do this, all that the contractor will need to do is to form a
brick ledge at grade level running the full length of the North side of the wall at least as far as my property line to
the West. This will give us a base to lay the stone. Regarding the guard rail on top of the wall, unless Harold
comes up with another idea that would be acceptable to the City, my initial thought is that I don’t necessarily have
an issue with the decorative cast concrete rail as you have designed and planned. I do however happen to like
the bridge railing design you used on Southwestern over Grapevine Creek better than the Denton Tap bridge
railing (for what its worth).
Anyway, that’s it for now. Let’s keep in contact on these issues and I’m sure everything will work out smoothly.
Thanks.
Phil Berkebile
