Harold/ Jim,
Attached is a sketch of Mr. Berkebile's proposed driveway cross section. As you can see, the driveway
will need at least 1 foot of fill. In order to maintain appropriate grades, the grading plan for the Bethel
Road Manor will need to be altered from what was sent to me on June 18th.
Please review this and call me Monday to discuss the driveway and the retaining wall facing.
Thanks.

Caleb,
The retaining wall on the north side will need to be modified to eliminate the form liner, and add a brick
ledge as necessary for the homeowners to face the wall with rock. Can you please contact the architect
listed below to coordinate that change.
We also need to ensure we coordinate the driveway grades before it's too late. There are already form
boards over the box culvert. I am attaching some shots we took yesterday.
Thanks,
Keith

Keith,
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.
