Alexander Ct-CS080710Jul 11 08 10:11a John IL. Hawkins 817 - 329 -1792 P.1 on OEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Master Planned Living Mr. Larry Davis, Inspector City of Coppell Engineering 255 Parkway Coppell, Texas 75019 Dear Larry, July 10, 2008 Re: Alexander Court Substantial Completion This writing is offered in response to your letter of July 9. Before I discuss the current status of completion, I wanted to relate my phone call to Scott Latta., this afternoon,. As far as the "As Built" drawings are concerned, Scott needs the individual sheets separately signed and dated. Even though Tim Bennett, PE supplied electronic files in the PDF format, Scott wants all sheets in a "drawing" file format, so they will be compatible with the City's interactive CAD system. Tim suspended his private engineering practice for an extended commitment to the City of Piano Engineering Department. Tim is happy to individually sign and date the drawings; However, he is unable to provide drawing files, because his CAD operator is permanently unavailable and the hard drive daily work files are irretrievable, for the purpose of making the required drawing files. Tim is going to talk to Scott about his dilemma and hopefully they can work something out. The sidewalk is complete and in the proper location, as approved by the City Inspector. The intersection tie in cannot be completed until Bethel Road is repaved and the turn lane is constructed. A short retaining wall is yet to be built by TR-W, LP, which will stabilize the soil under the rock wall footer down to the walk. Terradyne is going to place curlex around the sidewalk and replace the erosion control along Denton Tap.. The curlex is in place, along the parkway, on the front of the lots and all inlets have the proper erosion control devices at their throats. All other interior erosion control will be maintained properly. All lots have been final graded, in accordance with the grading plan, which provides for each lot to have positive drainage away from the building pads. 6003' Sunderland Drive • Colleyville, Texas 76034 ; el.

Hawkins 817 - 329 -1792 p.2 Substantial Completion Page Two of Two The surveyors, for Jiunes Arnold Const., have confirmed the final building pad elevation for each lot and the "as built" elevation is shown on the attached list dated July 9. Tom Ellis, with Alpha Testing, has issued a certification letter, to David Weekley, verifying that all lots meet the minimum requirements of the City, with regard to moisture content and compaction density. Please accept the foregoing statement and the list of as built pad elevations, as my "verification letter" for same. Jeff Curry, with 4ncor Electric, has procured (3) decorative street lights, identical to the one on Bethel Road. The 3 cobra head lights are coming down, to be replaced by the decorative lights. 4ncor is going to eliminate the poles on Bethel and put everything underground, at the request of the new owner /developer of the Baptist Church 20 acre tract. This coming week, Sempco Surveying will be placing the final steel rods for all lot corners. Wherever a lot comer falls within the structure of a retaining wall or the perimeter rock wall, a 5' offset will be used and marked accordingly. Creek lots will have steel rods placed at the 100 year flood plain line„ as shown by sideline distances on the final plat. The Entry Towers are almost completed and we have the identity signage and artistic wrought iron accessories yet to install. We are going to heavily landscape the areas around the towers and in front of our intersection sign. The lots are 100% completed, in every sense and each one is suitable for a building permit to be issued. The City has received the Maintenance Bonds from Barson Utilities. With the sole exception of some inconsequential technicalities, I see no reason why a letter of substantial completion cannot be issued. For all intents and purposes, we are completely in compliance with your July 9 letter. Please obtain the appropriate approval and provide the requisite letter acknowledging your acceptance of the final walk thru and substantial completion, or a writing stating your specific material reasons for not doing so. Thank You... Attachment cc: Walter Leonard, Esquire Larry Jackson, DW Proj. Mgr. Kaye Logan, DW Land Dept. Yours Very Truly, John L. Hawkins, Pres. i Jul 11 08 10:12a John L.
