WA9401-CS 950607LONE STAR COUNTRY CLUB June 7, 1995 Larry Davis/Jim Witt Construction Inspector City of Coppell PO Box 478 Coppell TX 75019 Post-it?' Fax Note 7671 Go./De~t. Phone # F # 17/)9 96 - q Phone # Fax # Dear Mr. Davis & Mr. Witt: Please find the enclosed letter from Houston L. Cavin, Project Manager for Architectural Utilities, Inc. I have some problems with Mr. Cavin's letter. First of all, I disagree that Architectural Utilities has done their "best" to cooperate with the Lone Star in solving the problem of our damaged parking lot. I feel that Architectural Utilities made several unsatisfactory attempts at repairing the parking lot. On each occasion, AU has asked if I felt the work was satisfactory and I responded to the contrary. What I think is that AU did their best to fix the parking lot with as little expense as possible, rather than correcting thier problem in a timely and professional matter. Secondly, I disagree that AU offered to "provide the labor and equipment to spread rock or base material over an area to improve the surface in question, if you will provide the material." Mr. Davis, if you will remember, after discussing the problem areas in the parking lot, I, as a goodwill gesture, offered to tee and call my gravel contacts with no guarantee of success. Frankly, I do not feel that this was something I had to do and am offended that my gesture has been construed in this manner. Thirdly, Mr. Cavin states that "we do not believe that our construction necessarily caused the problem." Previously, he had stated that "We have done our best to cooperate with you in returning your property to its original condition." Obviously, if the parking lot is not now in its original condition and contains areas that present potential liabilities and the only area which is affected in the fourteen acre parking lot is the area where the construction was done, the construction is the only factor which caused the problem. I have personally worked on this parking lot for three years and I promise you that the area in question permitted the parking of cars in wet and dry conditions previous to March 1995. Mr. Davis, when you asked me ifI would like to deal directly with Doyle Huddleston/AU, I agreed that this might be in order rather than involving you if all we needed to do was coordinate the repair work. However, I would like to know if you and the City of Coppell agree with the position that Architectural Utilities has taken on this issue. In speaking with John Robinson, we both feel that this situation has become inexcusable given the "good faith" settlement agreement which caused the water line to be run to 1849 Beltline Road in the first place. 1849 Beltline Rd. Coppell, TX 75019 (214) 462-1234 As previously discussed, we have already purchased Flexbase for the repair of the parking lot, which will be spread tomorrow by a contractor which I have coordinated. An invoice will be sent to the City of Coppell for the work which is done to repair the parking lot. I will no longer deal with Architectural Utilities or their agents until this problem is resolved. Then and only then will I be willing to sign any document to effectively "end the matter." Peter Scarf 1849 Beltline Rd. Coppell, TX 75019 (214) 462-1234 ARCHITECTURAL UTILITIES, INC.

We have now offered to provide the labor and equipment to spread rock or base material over an area to improye the surface in question, if you will provide the material. We agree to assist you in this, although we do not believe that our construction activities necessarily caused the problem. The purpose of this letter is to assure you that we will participate as offered; however, we intend this to be the end of the.matter. Your acceptance of our assistance as offered will release us from any further complaints or obligations regarding your property. If you cannot agree to this, then we cannot agree to perform the work. I must have this letter signed by you and returned to me before we return to do this work. Sincerely, Houston L. Cavin Project Manager HLC/j lr Accepted by: Date: lc\9406Z.1 'm ! ....I' I '1 ....
