Re: Floodplain Development Reviews
Dear Mr. Goram:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the status and/or
need for floodplain reviews of pending subdivision projects.
Currently there are four private development projects under
review by Kimley-Horn. The four private development projects
are:
1. MacArthur Blvd. extension/Vista Ridge Floodplain/Floodway
modeling and review
2. Oakbend Addition
3. HRWS Tract
4. Lake Park Addition
Of the four development projects, all are currently under review
by Kimley-Horn with the exception of the Lake Park Addition which
should be submitting final engineering and floodplain reclamation
plans for review any time now. The MacArthur Blvd.
Extension/Vista Ridge review has been initiated with the approval
of Mr. Alan Ratliff, during our 5/25/90 conference call (3:06
PM), on a more or less "emergency" basis to expedite the
MacArthur Blvd Extension. Oakbend and HRWS are undergoing normal
floodplain development reviews at this time. It is my
understanding that all but the MacArthur Blvd. project are being
directly reimbursed by the developers. The cost of the MacArthur
Blvd./Vista Ridge work probably should be shared between the
three parties as follows:
1. City of Coppell 33.3%
2. Vista Ridge (Lomas & Nettleton) 33.3%
3. Lake Park Addition 33.3%
While both Vista Ridge and Lake Park need verification as
subdivisions, the city has recently concluded a study of Denton
Creek which did not include the particular analysis being done
now, due only to budgetary constraints at the time. In our
review of this matter with Mr. Ratliff and Phil Deaton of Carter
& Burgess, Inc. (Vista Ridge's engineer), the potential future
gain in tax base which can be developed based on the re-analysis
is quite important to the City of Coppell. If there are surplus
funds available for this item it would be fair to apply them to
the City's portion of the cost. If funds are not available, in
order to help establish the viability of development of the tax
base mentioned above, the developers may have to carry the
burden.

We have enclosed Kimley-Horn's proposals for the MacArthur Blvd.
Oakbend Addition for your files. It is our understanding that
the HRWS tract study was authorized and begun at the direction of
the former City Engineer. Please call me if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
John C. Karlsruher, P.E.
