Ken, Keith, & Mamie:
Thank you for meeting with Bennett, Cliff, and myself yesterday
afternoon to resolve the R.O.W. / easement issues with the Final Plat.
The Plat will be handed over today to our Title company to record with
Denton County as expediantly as possible.
Keith, earlier this month Greg Jones and I discussed potential conflicts
between permit timing and our construction schedule. After review of
the construction documents, Greg indicated he would allow us to begin
pier and slab-on-grade work in the event the Plat was delayed and the
Building Department was unable to issue a building permit prior to our
completion of preliminary grading and water injection activities.
Yesterday, you mentioned Engineering would also allow us to start our
underground site utilities should the Plat or TxDOT issues continue to
delay final Engineering approval. As the Plat will be recorded shortly,
the only remaining issue is final decel lane and storm water plan
approval from TxDOT. I believe Clint provided you with a copy of the
e-mail from Carla Bates detailing TxDOT's plan comments, along with our
revised plans incorporating the changes they requested. Clint also
resubmitted the plans to TxDOT yesterday. With the minimal revisions
they requested, we anticipate no difficulties with TxDOT approval, other
than timing. As I noted yesterday, if only two passes of water
injection are required to meet density/swell specifications, our
contractor will be ready to proceed with both foundation and site
utility work the week of November 1st. If additional passes are
required, we won't start pier work until later in the week. However,
site utilities would still start Monday. Beverly Hurtsman in the
Building Department has been receiving copies of the geotechnical
reports from Reed Engineering.
A check was submitted by our general contractor o0 9-24-04 in payment of
project impact fees. If we need to provide any additional information,
forms, or fees prior to starting site utilities while awaiting final
TxDOT approval, please let me know. Otherwise, Mr. Brandon Perdue, our
general contractor's Project Manager, or Mr. Gary Stephens, his field
superintendant, will be coordinating with Coppell Engineering for any
required inspections. Again, thank you all for your cooperation in
resolving these issues and allowing our construction schedule to proceed
without interruption.
Sincerely,
Christopher Gardner
