Chairman Deithloff asked Mr. Flynn to explain the avigation easement. Mr. Flynn stated that the easement is mainly a hold harmless agreement for the City's protection so that the City will not be brought into any lawsuits that might result from damages brought against D-FW Airport or any aircraft flying over the City of Euless. He stated that this was passed in 1974 through minute order by the City Council, and for a time, the policy was followed in which all developments in the City of Euless were supposed to have this easement granted to the City. He stated that for at least the last two years, he has not known of any develop- ments which have actually had the easement filed. He stated that at the City Manager's direction they have looked into having future developments file the avigation easement.

He stated that the doctors have not had a chance to review the avigation easement and he is not sure what their position will be regarding this. He stated he most likely would not advise them to sign it. He stated that he did not intend to give up any more rights than he has to.

Mr. Eden stated that this is something that needs to be determined if the easement is going to become policy in the future. After additional discussion concerning the easement, Mr. Eden made a motion to recommend approval of the final plat of Trail Creek Professional Center subject to the letter dated August 14, 1980, from Mr. Flynn and an agreement being worked out with the developers and the City Council concerning the avigation easement.
