Re: Drainage west of Woodside Village Shopping Center
Dear Russell:
In December of 1986, Skyhawk Venture (Skyhawk) entered into an
agreement (the Agreement) with the City of Coppell (City) whereby
Skyhawk agreed to escrow $345,000.00 with the City to be used for
the construction of a 12'x 8' box culvert along the western
boundary of Woodside Village Shopping Center and continue north
past the Boorhem and Hinkley tracts. When the Boorhem and Hinkley
tracts were platted, the City agreed to assess those owners on a
linear foot basis for the cost of the box culvert and return that
amount to Skyhawk.
Shortly after the Agreement was signed, the Coppell High School
announced their plans which included building the downstream
portion of the box culvert. Since this would allow construction of
the section of the box culvert addressed in the Agreement between
Skyhawk and the City, Skyhawk requested that the City waive the
requirement for Skyhawk to escrow the $345,000.00 and Skyhawk would
proceed with design and construction of the box culvert. However,
because of the impact of the new trench safety laws, the soil
conditions on site and the depth of the cut to install the box, the
low bid came in at $701,000.00.
In order to proceed with an adequate drainage system we propose to
amend the Agreement to allow the following:
(1)
Skyhawk will design and build a double 12' x 4' box
culvert from Sandy Lake Road to the northern boundary of
the Woodside Village Tract.
(2)
From the northern boundary of Woodside Village to the
existing box culvert, Skyhawk will grade a temporary
channel.

(3) Skyhawk will waive any reimbursement due from the work on
the channel north of Woodside Village.
This plan will allow us to proceed within the $345,000.00 budget
and alleviate the drainage problems we have recently experienced in
this area. I am available to meet with you at your convenience to
answer any additional questions you may have.
Sincerely yours,
SKYHAWK VENTURE
