MacPlaza1/PP-CS 960429Coppell, Texas 75019 P.O. Box 478 Coppell, Texas 75019 214-462-0O22 April 29, 1996 Mr. Jason Marshall NICHOLS, JACKSON, DILLARD, HAGER & SMITH 1800 Lincoln Plaza 500 North Akard Street Dallas TX 75201 MacArthur Plaza Common Area Dear Jason: One of my principal concerns regarding CED's proposed common landscape area has been the potential for its neglect. I would prefer to see the money City Garage, SpeeDee and Sonic put up for maintenance go to the Riverchase Owners Association, of which each is a member anyway, and that Riverchase accept the responsibility for upkeep. I am told that Riverchase has no interest in accepting that money nor that responsibility. If Riverchase has no interest, why would three places of business be any more greatly motivated? What will happen if Sonic and/or SpeeDee refuses to reimburse City Garage for the one-third share of the maintenance cost? What would keep City Garage from inflating the maintenance cost or just turning the water off, letting the shrubs die and refusing to replace them? In short, I don't see the kind of structured assessment and common area maintenance agreements that ! normally associate with a planned development. This really bothers me. Do you or Pete have any suggestions? Sincerely, Pert Virtanen Assistant Director of Planning and Community Services attachment: Proposed MacArthur Plaza Property Covenants PROPERTY COVENANTS AND MUTUAL INGRESS EGRESS AND PARKING AGREEMENT STATE OF TEXAS § COUNTY OF DALLAS § THIS PROPERTY COVENANTS AND MUTUAL INGRESS, EGRESS AND PARKING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is hereby made and entered into effective as of the __ day of , 1996, by DALLAS AREA AFFORDABLE PARTNERS IV, L.P.
