Dear Steve:
On November 26, 1990, I sent a
(5IR) 499-6200
1990
several issues concerning the utilities for the project referenced
above. As you know, on December 11, 1990, we met with your staff
to discuss the items and reach a consensus on them. This letter
is to confirm the results of that meeting.
The primary issues discussed were derived from comments
raised during the review of the construction drawings for the
328-acre site. These items are as follows:
Comment: "Replace an existing 8" water line along Belt
Line Road from Wrangler Drive to Southwestern Drive with
a 12" water line." Response: Our construction plans
show a 12" water line to be located in Executive Drive
which parallels Belt Line Road. According to Howard
Pafford, our proposed line sufficiently replaces the
need for a larger line in Belt Line Road.
e
Comment: "Replace the 8" water line along Southwestern
Drive with a 12" water line." Response: Once again,
Mr. Pafford represented that replacing the old line with
a new 8" water line would be sufficient.

Comment: "Replace the 12" sanitary sewer line along
Belt Line Road from Airline Drive to Southwestern Drive
with a 24" sanitary sewer line." Response: This
improvement is included in the City's Capital
Improvements Plan and scheduled to be constructed in
1992. According to staff, this line could be built
prior to that date by a developer if there is a need.
Alternatively, the line would be built by the City as
part of the CIP and funded by impact fees which would be
levied as users tap into the system. We anticipate that
this line will not be necessary for the Park West
development within the next few years. Therefore,
Prentiss will not be required to construct this line
and, it is our understanding, that the line will be
constructed by the City and that users will be charged
an impact fee in accordance with the impact fee
ordinance.
Comment: "Remove the 10" sanitary sewer line on the
north side of Airline Drive from International Drive to
Belt Line Road and replace it with a 12" line."
Response: According to our construction plans, a
portion of the load originally intended for this line
has been routed to a new sanitary sewer to be located in
Wrangler Drive. It is our understanding that staff
agrees that this alternative precludes the necessity for
a larger line in Airline Drive.
Comment: "Wrangler Drive needs to be paved." Response:
This street is to be paved as the development progresses
in accordance with the phasing program which was
approved as part of the final plat.
One issue which was not resolved concerned a proposed box
culvert in Southwestern Annex. According to our engineers, this
improvement is to specifically benefit the owner of property west
of Freeport Parkway and is not an obligation of Prentiss
Properties. It is our understanding that the improvement was
shown on the plans to address total build-out on the property
across Freeport Parkway. Staff suggested that we contact that

property owner and discuss this issue. At this time we are
attempting to contact that property owner and schedule a meeting
to discuss the improvement. Of course, we will keep you apprised
of the discussions. Allow me to once again emphasize our position
on the box culvert: this improvement is for the benefit of an
off-site property owner and not required because of Prentiss
Properties development; therefore, the improvement is not an
obligation of Prentiss Properties.
If you would like to clarify any of these matters, or have
any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Very truly yours,
William S. Dahlstrom
