Re: Easement Acquisition for Grapevine Creek Sewer Project
This letter is written to verify the negotiations arrived at during our meeting of April 5, 1993
between you, Mr. Wayne Ginn and myself. At that meeting, it was agreed upon that I would
grant the easement across the property jointly owned by Troth Enterprises, Inc, S.C. Parsons,
Inc. and Lerman Investments, Inc. for a total price of $15,000. This generally works out to
approximately $0.37/sq. ft. for the permanent easement (35,639 square feet x. 37 = 13,186.43)
and a nominal amount of $1,813.57 for the temporary construction easement (66,471 square
feet).
It is my understanding that this offer will be taken to the City Council meeting of April 13, 1993
for approval by the City Council. If the City Council approves the offer of $15,000 that we
discussed, it is also my understanding that a check could be provided from the City on either
April 16th or April 23rd, 1993.
By virtue of this letter please be advised that if the City Council rejects the offer that we have
negotiated of $15,000, then I will still grant the City the Right of Entry to the property for the
construction of the Grapevine Creek Sewer Trunk Main. The Right of Entry is being granted
because, as we discussed, I am in agreement with the project and if the amount is rejected by
the City Council then we would work toward another negotiated amount or proceed through
condemnation hearings. However, it is not my intent to hold up the project during any
additional negotiations. After City Council approves this agreement, I will sign the necessary
easement documents to be filed with the county.
It is my understanding, per a legal opinion that you have received from Mr. Ron Clark of
Henderson, Bryant and Wolfe LLP, that I will receive credit for fees previously paid for
Northlake Woodlands East Phase 10B that was never final platted. It is my understanding that
the previously paid funds are in the amount of approximately $125,000 - $130,000. It is my
understanding that when I final plat Northlake Woodlands East Phase 10B I will be responsible
for the payment of the current City of Coppell fees.
If you need any additional information please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Northlake Woodlands Joint Venture
