RE: Valley Ranch Plea Pads B through G
(Southwest comer of Beltline Road ~d MacArthur Blvd.)
This letter is being written in response to our m~ting of Janua~ 8th, 1993, between Steve
Goram, Richard Wilkie and William Winkleman concerning thr~ distinct items associated with
this prope~y.
1) A median opening on Beltline Road at the west side of Pad B m Valley Ranch Plaza.
2) A propos~ mutual dhve betw~n Tract A and Pad D of the Valley Ranch Plaza.
3) The dedication of the existing private sani~ry sewer line to the City as a public sanitary
sewer.
In reference to the request for a median opening on Belfline Road, under the following scenario
the City will support a r~uest IBr vari~ce to the City Council:
1) A traffic study be provid~ that indicates there will be no detdmental affect on
the traffic patterns in this general vicinity due to the cr~tion of another median
opening.
2) A letter from the adjacent prope~y owners stating that they will be amenable to
a shared access msement. (Your master pl~ shows a potion of the drive
approach to be on the property west of this site).
3) An acknowl~gement that the full cost of the construction of the m~ian opening
will be borne by the prope~y owner when that m~i~ opening is constructed.
The prope~y owner will also pay the entire cost of any traffic improvements
necessimt~ by the crmtion of the m~i~ o~ning i.e., d~eleration lane,
acceleration lane and/or sign,s, signage, etc.
The vari~ce is needed because the spacing from the current m~i~ on Beltline at MacArthur
does not m~t our subdivision r~uimments. ~e City has expedenc~ traffic problems
associated with the dhveway that se~es Go~y~, Wendy's ~d Tom Thumb. Them could be
_ some validity to the fact that an additional drive approach on Beltline could help alleviate some
of the traffic currently utilizing the driveway that serves Wendy's and Tom Thumb.
In reference to the mutual drive, as stated in the October 6, 1992, letter and the minutes of the
January 8, 1993 meeting, please note that the City is in support of the shared access between
Tracts A and Pad D of Valley Ranch Plaza. As stated in the meeting, the exact location of the
driveway cannot be guaranteed until a site plan for one or the other tract has been submitted for
review by the city.
In reference to the City taking over the maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer line, the City
will not take over the maintenance of a line that does not meet our minimum requirements. It
was discussed with the developer, when the sewer line was installed, that it did not meet the
minimum City requirements and that it would be a private line and as such would remain that
way. The City recommends that a maintainance association be formed or some facsimile thereof
and that each property owner and/or user in this addition be accessed a fee for the continual
maintenance of the sewer line.
An additional item was discussed at our January 8th, 1993 meeting that previously had not been
discussed. That was the dedication of a water line to the City. The City recommends that the
water line be included in the above mentioned maintainance association that will be needed for
the sewer line. This way there will be no need for the City to access the property for
maintainance of any of the utilities.
I hope this has answered your questions concerning this property and if you should have any
additional questions please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
City Engineer
