Re: Const~ction of Road and Utility lmprovements.~~
Park Place Addition and Heanz Road
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
As you know, the preliminary plat for the Park Place Addition has recently
been approved at the request of the Park Place Joint Venture, ~d the construction of
Heartz Road and its associated utilities has been previously approved by the City upon
request of ABQ Development Corporation ("ABQ"), which is now under the
conservatorship of the Resolution T~st Corporation ("RTC"). The Park Place Joint
Venture has agreed to consider taking over the const~ction of Heanz pursuant to a
recently negotiated agreement with ABQ and the RTC as their managing agent. As
one of the conditions in the land acquisition contract for the Park Place Addition ~d
for the possible assumption of the Heartz Rd. const~ction, we need to obtain the
City's confi~ation of the matters described herein.
The Park Place addition may be final platted in two phases. On the enclosed
prelimina~ plat is marked the division line between the 1st and 2nd phases. Thc 1st
phase will front on Sandy Lake Road and will be developed while Hea~z Road and the
ntilities with Heanz are also being constructed by the Park Place Joint Venture.
As a part of the Heartz construction, a new sanita~ sewer line will be
const~cting a new sanita~ sewer line in the Heaflz right-of-way. The sanitary
sewer service to the 1st phase of Park Place is planned to be provided through a
sewer line which will be constructed from the west bounda~ of the first phase,
across the 2nd phase land, to the new Heartz Road sewer line. ~e Hea~z Road sewer
line should be completed several months before phase 1 of Park Place is completed.
The drainage facilities being constructed in Hea~z Road deliver sto~ drainage
into a recorded drainage easement which is for the benefit of ABQ, ~e Parks of
Coppell Joint Venture and their assigns (the "Mutual Drainage Easement"), a copy of
which is enclosed herewith. The storm water drainage from ~e 1st phase of Park
Place is planned to be discharged at the west bounda~ of phase 1 into an interim
earthen drainage channel, across the 2nd phase land, into the already existing
inte~m earthen channel which is in the Mutual Drainage Easement. The Mutual
Drainage Easement abuts the northwest comer of the 2nd phase land.
In the next few days, our engineer will submit to the City a proposed Interim
Drainage and Utility Easement which covers the location of the sanita~ sewer line
and earthen drainage channel described in the preceding paragraphs. This easement

follows the alignment of Park Valley Drive on the preliminary plat since the
sanitary sewer line and permanent drainage improvements will ultimately be located
in that right-of-way when phase 2 is developed.
We hereby request the City's written confirmation of the following:
1. Conceptual approval of the above described system for providing sewer and
drainage services to the 1st and 2nd phases of the Park Place Addition. We
understand that the City must review and approve the final engineering documents
for such facilities, which will be submitted along with the final engineering for
each phase of the development.
2. That the Mutual Drainage Easement may be used to provide storm drainage
discharge points for Heartz Rd. and for the Park Place Addition.
3. That thc approved plans for Heanz Rd. reflect all of the requirements of thc
City for the construction of Heartz and its associated utilities, that there are no
further special requirements imposed by thc City on this project, and that the City
shall accept the construction of Heartz Rd. as completed upon the performance of the
work reflected in the approved plans in a workmanlike manner and in conformity
with the normal city standards.
If the City confirms that the above listed three statements correctly reflect the
City's position, please so indicate by an authorized signature in the space provided
below. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your
consideration.
