Dear Mr. Gr~in;
We have been made aware that ~e City of Coppell (City) ~s ~nsidering. among
other options, construction of a new sani~W sewer rome main to replace an
existing, smaller rome main ~en~y in an easement adjacent to the west line of
SJV pro~e~y. We fu~her understand that ~r ease of constm~ion and future
maintenance, and the elimination of disruption to improvements presently
existing ie the current easement, ~e Ci~ may prefer to ~nstmct the proposed
for~ main in a new easement to be dedicated by St. Joseph inside and along its
west line.
St. Joseph is agreeable to the construction of the proposed force main, and
dedication of the necessary easement. By this letter, and in consideration of
certain requests made below, St. Joseph agrees to grant the City free and
uninterrupted use and privilege of passage in, along, upon and across the
proposed easement (the specific dimensions to be fixed at platting} for the
purpose of constructing and maintaining the proposed force main with the right
and privilege at all times of the City, its agentS, employees, workmen and
representatives having ingress, egress, and regress in, along, upon and over the
easement for the purpose of making additions to, improvements on and repairs
to the force main or any part thereof.
St. Joseph understands that after construction of the force main or after any entry
for repairs or maintenance, the City shall, except for removed obstructions, return
the surface area of the easement to its odginal condition as needy as practical

Joseph understands that the City will recognize St. Joseph's right to use and
maintain the surface of the easement for purposes which will not interfere with
the City's rights agreed to herein; and that St. Joseph further agrees that upon

Finally, SJV understands that the City wishes the proposed easement to be an
"exclusive' easement, unencumbered by other utilities, particularly private or
franchise utilities. S Jr expressly agrees that no private or franchise utilities will
be constructed in the proposed easement.
Irt agreeing to the easement Drovisions listed above, St. Joseph respectfully
requests that the City agree to cooperate with SJV to allow SJV to develop the
proposed St. Joseph Village Project in substantial conformity with the site plan
included with the recently approved zoning change for this property. More
specifically St. Joseph requests:
1. That the width of the force main easement be fixed so as to allow construction
of storm sewer lines and either water lines or sanitary sewer lines (such
selection to be made by the City) under the proposed perimeter fire lane
along the West side of the SJV site.
2. That the City will allow waterlines, sanitary sewer lines, end storm sewer lines
necessary tO serve the SJV Projact to cross the easement at locations
determined by the City.
3. That the City will coordinate the design of the proposed force main with the
design of improvements to serve the S Jr Project prepared by SJV's
Consultant; and
4. That the City will schedule construction of the proposed force main so as not
to delay construction of the improvements to serve St. Joseph Village
SJV realizes the importance of the proposed force main to the City and the
citizens }t serves. At the same, we respectfully submit that the requests
presented above reflect prudence on our part to minimize any negative impact to
our future project. Please advise us on the form of instrument you prefer to
dedicate the proposed force main easement. We end our Consultant are
available to meet with you and your staff at any time to review or discuss any
relevant issues. If you have any questions, or need any additional information,
please ceil Joe Dingman at 972-241-1272.
