Mr. Keith Wallace, Washington/Wallace, Inc. , Hurst, Texas, presented the final.
plat.
Chairman Ingram inquired of Mr. Wallace if he had any questions regarding Mr.
Bill Hepworth's letter dated. February 23, 1987, addressed to the Planning &
Zoning Commission.
Mr. Wallace stated that they had no problem with what was stated in Mr.
Hepworth's letter.
'fir. wens stated that he had no problem with the final plat, only that he would
liked to have the construction cost of curb and gutter and other items tied
down.
`1r. Knight state?d that at the time the contract is submitted showing the cost
of curb and gutters and drainage improvements running within the development,
staff will make sure the City is not being taken advantage of Unti.l bids are
taken and the exact costs are known, it cannot be tried down.
Mr. Tyson ingea xed as to the meaning of page one, paragraph three c?f Mr.
Hepworth's letter referencing monies for escrow.
Mr. knight explained that the City has no funds to contribute toward
constriction of the improvements. According to preliminary estimates that Mr.
Wallace had made, the estimated escrow for proposed improvene.nts would be
$223,000 and the a_estimated cost of the storm drainage improvements proposed to
be constructed at this time would be $225,000 to $230,000. The off-site
drainage improvements, based on the estimated costs, slightly exceed what the
estimated escrow would be.
In response to a question from Mr. Tyson, Mr. Hepworth further explained that
the developer is required to escrow monies for the future storm sewer and paving
improvements in :front of his property. Since the City, at this time, is tilt.
going ahead with the construction of the street, the developer is proposing to
use those monies to build certain storm sewers which are going to be required.
If the cost of storm sewer construction exceeds his escrow requirement, he will.
be required to provide additional money to cover the cost_ of construction. if
the cost of storm sewer construction at this time does not. exceed h .s escrow
requirement, he will be required to escrow the difference.
Chairman Ingram inquired of Mr. Knight about. the 20" Trinity River Authority
seater line that will have to be lowered.

Page Three Planning & Zonin Commission Xeeting, March 3 1987
Mr. Knight stated that the Trinity River Authority water line: runs in a North,
south direction along the western boundary of the development. It is installed
at such a depth that it would not allow the future construction of the storm
drainage facility to extend west into the Beall iii. Addition. When staff reviewed
the playas, it was noted to the developer and his engineer that at some tine in
the future the line would have to be lowered and the storm drain extended. The
storm drain line could be extended to the western boundary of property at the
time of development or the monies could be escrowed with the City for the future
removal and replacement of concrete: pavement, lowering of the water line, and
extension of the storm ::a_=we?r to the property line=. The developer chose to
approach Trinity River Authority about the possibility of lowering the line at
this time and extending the storm drain line to the western limits of his
development. The Trinity River Authority has stated that if they contracted
with the developer, it would require the approval of their board} however, they
would consider contracting with the City of Euless if the City would assume the
responsibility of handling the contract, and the water line could be lowered at
this time. Mr. Knight stated that he had spoken to the City Manager concerning
this matter and there had been some correspondence from 'Trinity River Authority
to the City Manager's office. The City Manager does not have a problem with
this provided that the work is included under our standard City Developer/City
Contractor process and the developer places either the cash escrow or letter of
credit with the City to cover the cost of those improvements. Mr. Knight then
explained the bonding procedure and noted that there are adequate safeguards to
protect the interests of the City and, therefore, has no problem with proceeding
with it under those guidelines.
Chairman Ingram asked if there were any farther questions. Thera being none,
he asked for a motion.
Mr. Owens moved to approve #F-87-04 as presented with the inclusion of dire Trill
Hepworth's letter dated February 23, 1987.
Mr, Deithloff seconded the motion and the vote was as follows;
Ages: Messers. Tyson, Zahn, De.ithloff, Hill, Owens & Ingram
Nays: None
There being nothing further to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
