Dear Mr. Staks:
This letter is in reference to your letter dated ~arch 27,
1984, regarding the removal of the fence and fence posts
along certain areas of land previously owned by me. Your
letter states that I have until April 10, 1984 to complete
said activity or the cedar posts will be considered aban-
doned and will be disposed of by your company in any manner.
I understand from you that your company has acquired my con-
tract from the "Lomas & Nettleton Land Corp." This has been
verified further by my conversations with executives of the
"Lomas & Nettleton Corp."
I have not seen any document contrary to your claim men-
tioned above that the Triland development group has not
indeed bought my contract agreement from the "Lomas &
Nettleton Corp." Therefore, all evidence indicates that
your company now owns said contract previously made by the
"Lomas & Nettleton Corp." and are solely responsible for
the compliance for all provisions contained therein.
The tract of land that I sold to the "Lomas & Nettleton
Corp." had certain written guarantees incorporated in the
contract as evidenced by addendums numbered 13 thru 25.
There were also oral agreements regarding the original
"Lakes of Coppell" project that was approved by the city
of Coppell council. The contract that I agreed to is the
original plan as depicted on the front page of the news
weekly dated Sept. 15, 1983. This plan shows the Allen Road
extension in the position my contract calls for.
As per contract addend~n ~15 states that within two calendar
years purchaser will cause the proposed extension of Allen
Road to be constructed and completed across indicated posi-
tion on map with all city utilities to my property as depicted
on exhibite "A" map oF contract as the west boundary of tract
Your company now has a/.~proximately nineteen months to comply
with this contract or be in default.
,~ddendum ,i23 states that in the event this transaction ar;
stated, meaning written and orally i~; not approved, contraot
will be void and property will "remain" as is. Plainly
stated, if your company does not fulfill this contract to the
letter, the property will revert back to me.
Your map dated Jan. 23, 1984 shows that the Allen Road exten-
sion has become .lacArthur Boulevard and no longer follows
the path that was promised by the "Lomas ~ Nettleton Corp."
In fact, it appears to be an attempt to isolate not only my
property but that of John Burns' also.
In the meeting of ~larch 12, 1984 at the residence of John
Burns with yourself, Peter Oper from Triland, John Burns
and myself present, you stated you planned to close Allen
Road and give us some other avenue of access to our property.
We stated that your proposal was not acceptable. Any attempt
to destroy or close Allen Road without the expressed written
consent of myself and John Burns will bring legal action
against any and all parties involved.
I am requesting that your company reply to me in writing of
your intention to extend Allen ~toad as per contract and also
if you plan to follow through with the original "La~es of
Coppell" at this time.
I plan to go ahead with the construction of my house on tract
"D". Please notify me as to the earliest date your company
can start the land work, including the gravel road to the
building site as outlined in the contract.
Sincerely,
