The main points: - they are driven by the goal of beginning construction of Phase II by Nov. 2013, so they will need to need to start construction on their lakeside improvements early in 2013, as shown on the schedule attached to the previous email. They show the spillway construction going on at a similar time, from Feb to Nov of 2013. This implies that we would get the lake low enough to do their work simultaneously. - I said that their timeframe is fine on durations, but starting dates depend on the Corps and authorizations from the City. It would take a reasonably positive reaction from the Corps to be able to start spillway construction in Jan/Feb 2013. - I said we would accelerate our site visit and discussion with the Corps and suggested that they not attend our meeting with the Corps in hopes of keeping their permitting work separate. I personally think the Corps is likely to see this as one project, but we can go in asking for two separate permit processes. If we're lucky on the view of the current ordinary high water mark, then that would help a lot in that regard. - I agreed we would coordinate on the Corps discussions. Neither of us wants to say or submit something that sets the other back. I missed both Steve and Karl today. I'll be back with you when I get a sense for their schedule. We just need a contact person to physically access the property. Thanks JLR John L. Rutledge, P.E.

A conference call today might be the best approach. I have set up a conference call number - 1-866-726-6516, code 251 535 6652 for us to use. We'll be standing by at 4:00 pm. Attached are some exhibits that we can use to talk from. The first shows the different configurations of the lake - (1) where the edge of water will be at elevation 490, (2) the current deed line of the lake as defined by the Coppell - Billingsley agreement, and (3) a generally preferred lake edge configuration. On the second exhibit, we have taken a "stab" at a preliminary schedule for our work to define the lake edge and your work to modify the spillway. The third item on the schedule is a Phase II of Cypress Waters development that has a goal of starting construction in early November 2013. We have also shown (3/5/2012) Ken Griffin - RE: Cypress Waters MeetingPage 3 schedule items we need to address with regard to an irrigation plan that would use raw water to irrigate all of the Cypress Waters project.

With Phase I of Cypress Waters now under construction, we are beginning to plan for the next phase of the development. Billingsley's business model is built around the delivery of residential projects on a two year cycle. Lucy's goal is to have Phase II under construction in November 2013 - on property that is now within the boundary of the existing lake. Accomplishing that goal depends on gaining all the required regulatory approvals, performing the necessary spillway and lake edge modifications, and permanently lowering the water surface of the revised lake. I know that you have made progress on developing the plan for revising the spillway. From our side, we need to develop and process a plan to create the new lake edge, which in some areas will require excavation, and in other cases filling areas that would still be inundated at the new 490 surface elevation. We know there will need to be FEMA, TCEQ, City of Dallas, and COE permits and approvals. To really get that process moving, we would like to meet with the Corps early next week, but want to make sure we have a coordinated approach in dealing with each of these agencies. We would like to have a quick conference call with you as soon as possible, followed by a meeting with the Corps early next week, just to make sure we are properly coordinated and not interfere with your discussions with the Corps. We are also trying to put together an overall schedule for both of our efforts to achieve the above Phase II development. Please let me know a convenient time today when we might call. Thanks!
