Re: Coppell Road Right of Way
Dear Ken:
I have had further contact with William Callejo and I am encouraged that an opportunity
exists to buy additional right of way from him to achieve a fitby-five foot wide right of way
before any additional dedication as would have been called for on his side of the road. He
has received positive indication from his partners that they will accept $3.00 per square
foot for the approximately 4,272 square feet of land which we have proposed to acquire.
Unfortunately, there are still some issues which will need to be resolved to Mr. Callejo's
satisfaction before we can consumate a transaction.
The Deed on the Callejo Property actually goes to the center line of Coppell Road, but
makes reference to prescriptive right of way to the east of the fence line. No conveyance
has yet been made of this prescriptive fight of way.
If the Callejo Property ultimately dedicates an additional five feet on top of the right of
way that we have required, Mr. Callejo would like an assurance from the City that there
would not be a ten foot fight of way dedication imposed upon him north of the northern
boundary line of our adjouming property.
Mr. Callejo would like assurance from the City of Coppell that any reconstruction cost of
Coppell Road will not be imposed upon him or his property.
Mr. Callejo has asked for a reverter of the dedication that we would require from him if it
is not used within a specified time frame.

As these items are beyond my control and would fall into the City's hands for
determination, I would like to request a meeting between the parties to try to reach a
resolution. If these items cannot be quickly resolved, I respectfully request that our
building permits be released for the Villages at Cottonwood Section V so that we may be
allowed to meet our contractual obligations to our Purchasers and Lenders to resume sales
and production within our subdivision.
Please let me know how we can proceed.

Re: Villages at Cottonwood Cre~k Section V
Dear Mr. Sims:
Thank you for meeting with us to discuss the Hike and Bike Trail Run along Coppcll
Road today, We are pleased to continue working with you to achieve a win/~n situation
for all parties in the best interest of the citizens of Coppell,
We are in agreement with you that the section proposed to be constructed dovnm the east
side of Coppell Road would be sufficiently wide at 6 feet due to the parallel nature of the
proposed trail and the existing Coppea roadway, A width of 12 feet to allow emergency
vehicle access would not be necessary in this case because of the proximiW of Coppell
Road and the ability for emergency access vehicles to service the Hike and Bike Trail due
to the side by side adjacency.
Therefore, we would not object to the City constructing a connector trail as an alternative
solution in this location, In addition, we are willing to acknowledge this agreement and
acceptance by recording an amendment to the CCRs as part of the Homeowners
Association documents for the benefit of disclosure to future homeowners of the plans and
agreements we have discussed with you today,
We thank you for your help in clarifying and resolving this issue and we look forward to
being back on track to building high quaIity homes in the Villages of Cottonwood Creek
that you and the other citizens of Coppell will be proud of. We know that this community
and your Bikeway Project will be a tremendous benefit to our neighbor, our community,
and the City of Coppell.
