Such tough questions for a Friday! Especially with Ken being out of the office. I'll respond to the best of
my knowledge.
1. 1 don't see this as being a problem from and engineering standpoint. I would highly recommend that
you fax the fire marshal a cross - section of this proposal for approval. Travis Crump's fax number is
972 - 304 -3514. Ask him for a written 'okay'.
2. The design and building of the waterline will be in conjuction with this project (similar to how we require
public sidewalks in all non - industrial areas). It should be designed to tie into the existing waterline on
Northpoint and stub -out at your northern property line. We will also require the two remaining properties
north of this tract to extend the waterline when they develop until the line ties into the existing waterline
along Sandy Lake Road. I don't have anything conceptual to fax to you but the line would need to be
within the right -of -way of S.H. 121 and not be in conflict with any existing utilities. I will need to talk with
Ken about the financing of the waterline.
3. N/A
4. 1 will only be in the office next week on Monday and Tuesday (it's time for MY vacation!!) but Ken will
be in all week. I recommend that you call Paula at 972 - 304 -3686 to set up and appt. with Ken to discuss
the drainage. He really needs to be involved.
I hope that I have given you enough information to carry you through the weekend. Let me know if there's
anything else you need.

Teresa,
The weekend is almost here!!! Only a few more questions before you go
1.) We would like to have a 5" invert section in an 18 foot invert
width. I believe the cross slope changes from 1:22 to 1:24 in the
invert. This would allow the site to work from a drainage standpoint. Is
this acceptable?
2.) Who will design and build the 12" waterline in 121? If it is us,
does the City pay for the line? I'm just not sure about the legality of
that process. Also, will the line be dry until someone ties it to
Northpoint Drive? I also need an approximate location of where this line
will be placed inside of the 121 Right -of -Way. If you can fax me a
sketched up plan or email me back and let me know, that would be most
helpful.
3.) 1 believe that my information about the entrance drives off of 121
was incorrect. I was referencing regulations for a tie onto a two -lane
asphalt highway which, obviously, is not present here.
4.) 1 am updating the drainage plan this weekend. I will probably need

to sit and talk with you next week about my thoughts
Please respond when you get a chance. It is my hope that I can get some
of these questions answered prior to the weekend.

I just spoke with Ken and here's what I have for you......
1. The maximum invert in the fire lane is 6 ". You can use the full
24' width of the fire lane for capacity. You just need to show the
calculations to verify that the capacity is there.
2. We are currently revising our citywide water master plan and a 12"
waterline is proposed within the SH 121 frontage road right -of -way.
This will be required to be built along the entire length of the
Securelock property from Northpoint Drive. It will also eliminate any
need for easements across the proposed restaurant site to loop your fire
line. Ken believes that TxDOT will provide you with a timely permit for
the waterline construction.
3. Since TxDOT requires an 8" fall into the property from the
driveway, Ken will require the drive approach to be constructed with
concrete. Asphalt will not hold up with the suface flow of the drainage
across the drive.
4. Ken said that he needs more information on the retention ( ?) pond.
He is not comfortable with making a decision on something so conceptual.
He is also curious as to exactly what it is if it's not detention (with
an outfall) or retention (with some circulation). Is it standing
stagnant water?
Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks
Teresa
Tim:
Ken has the drawing on his desk. I spoke with him this morning and he
will be out of the office this week Wed. - Fri. so he said he will make
some time for me today or tomorrow to discuss this project.
I wouldn't think you would need an 8" S.S. I would think that a 6"
would suffice. It's usually a good idea to include a profile in the
plans, especially for such a long run as what you will probably need.

I will get in touch with you before the end of the day tomorrow - once
I tie Ken down to discuss the drainage issues.

Hello again. I'm sorry to bug you once again but, I figure any
questions
I can ask up front will save us both some time in the end.
I wanted to ask if you had a chance to ask Ken his opinion of the
storm
drainage situation at the Securlock Site. I think you were able to run
off a copy of my thoughts so you could set them in front of Ken.
Also, do we need 8" sanitary sewer on this site? If so, do I need to
profile it for you?
Just let me know
Thanks!
