Clay, here is the last email regarding the ramps at Asbury. Following this I have jumped the gun in removing the ramp at Asbury. I believe that it is the logical course of action, however. Bryce _____ From: Casey Ross [mailto:cross@daa-civil.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 3:26 PM To: Clay Barnett Cc: Bryce Slade Subject: RE: Asbury Circle Clay, Attached is the letter from the TDLR reviewer. I sent him a copy of the route I sent to you before (I have included that e-mail for you). Please let me know if you need anything further to finalize this issue. I think we can now remove 6 barrier free ramps from the construction plans. Roger said he is also mailing me a copy with his signature on it. Would you like a copy of that as well?

I am by no means an ADA expert. I am only reading the requirements and interpreting them to the best of my ability. I would advise consulting an ADA professional to assist you in this situation. We have used Bonnie Anderson at Accessology in the past. Her phone number is 972-434-0068. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E.

We have an ADA accessible path from the park on the south side of Asbury to Belt Line Road, the Babies R Us and the future trail system the town will be constructing on the TP&L property. I don’t think we even need the barrier free ramps now at the street/alley intersections. We could get rid of 7 barrier free ramps. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Casey Ross, P.E.

Please revise the plan to be the shortest route in accordance with the TAS regulations and forward for review. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E.

I have the application and check prepared to send to TP&L for their review of the BFR’s and sidewalk on their property. We realize we will also lose two parking spaces due to access on the east side. Right now, we have parallel parking proposed on the east side of Asbury Lane. Please let me know if you see any issues with this design. Thanks, Casey Ross, P.E.
