Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Traffic Signal for GreeohiII School on Spring Valley This memo is to provide you with an update of where we are on this project. The plans and specifications
are about 95 %complete and should be ready next week. We plan to open bids at the end of the month and bring the construction contract to Council on April 9, 1996. Greenhill School has
paid for the engineering design and will provide the necessary easements. The estimated construction cost for the project is $100,000. Originally, !he cost of the signal was going to
be shared by Greenhill School, Addison, Farmers Branch, and !he developer of the apartment complex under construction on the south side of Spring Valley across from the school; with
each party contributing 25 %of the cost. When the apartment developer elected not to contribute to to the signal, the city of Farmers Branch wi!hdrew their contribution. At that point,
Greenhill School elected to pick up the developer and Farmer Branch's share and pay for 75 % of the signal. When the apartment developer withdrew his contribution to the signal the Town
informed him he could not have a driveway out of his development at the proposed signal. The Town's contribution to the signal, approximately $25,000, is in the 1996 budget and will
be paid out of the Street Capital Project Fund. The Town will invoice GrecohiII School for the school's share arrer the bids are opened. The Town will not execute the construction contract
until Greenhill School has paid the Town.

and our telephone conversation of November 9, 1994 about sidewalks, the developer will install sidewalks along Spriug Valley Road iu front of his property. The iustallation of the sidewalk
iu front of the City's fire station, will be the City'S responsibility . The City does have a funded sidewalk program which includes criteria for repair of existing sidewalks and the
construction of new sidewalks. I am confident that after the new apartments are occupied those residents will generate the demand for the installation of a sidewalk iu front of the fire
station and the City will install the sidewalk. Call me if you have any questions. :;;;)' (. Jerome V. Murawski, Jr., P.E. City Engineer JVM:nm I>:\parksdjb.llf/engdev cc: Gary Oshel,

Farmers Branch has included total funding to widen Midway Road between LBJ and Spring Valley in its capital improvements budget. The project will include intersection improvements at
Spring Valley and Midway. This project is eligible for funding in the Intermodul Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The City Council directed staff to pursue the
ISTEA funding opportunity. The City Council further told staff that if the use of ISTEA funds delayed start of construction beyond 1998, then the City would construct the project in
1998 without ISTEA funding. Dave Davis, City Traffic Engineer, has reviewed the two-lane entrance into the subdivision. The distance between the street and the entrance gate, 130 feet,
seems to be adequate to avoid any backups into Spring Valley Road. Sincerely,c:?4 Jerome V. Murawski, Jr., Jr., P.E. City Engineer JVM:nm b:\prksdtrf.llr/engdev cc: Dave Davis, P .E.,

to your verbal request to modify the Spring Valley median to facilitate your proposed development. We are willing to grant your request when the items from our September 13th letter
are complete, As I understand, the outstanding issues are as follows: L Greenhill School does not have a fuodamental objection to the median modification, but would like assistance with
the expense of a traffic signal that will serve both your property and their property mitigating some of the affects of the increased traffic generated from your proposed development.
2. Farmers Branch has iodicated a willingness to construct the bottleneck improvements identified in the 1990 Addison Bottleneck Study, However, it appears that this will take from 3
to 5 years to complete. 3, Farmers Branch has also indicated a sidewalk may be constructed between your proposed development and the Loos Field/DART Transit Center. We feel items 2 and
3 should be constructed in conjunction with your proposed development and that the negative impact to Greenhill School be mitigated prior to modifying the Spring Valley median. Also,
note that a right-of-way permit is required prior to pursuing any construction within Addison. This permit is subject to review and approval of the construction for the work within Addison
and has bonds and insurance requirements. 
We are hopeful that you can resolve the issues with the various parties and are looking forward to working with you on this project. Please call me if you have any questions or need
additional information. John R. Baumgartner, P .E. Director of Public Works JRB/gmd cc: Jerry Murowski Ron Whitehead

as a multi-fanrily community. As I have expressed verbally, Addison has some concerns regarding the proposed developments impact on the existing street and would like the following issues
addressed prior to consenting to the proposed relocations of the median: 1. Does the proposed relocation impact Greenhill School> s plans for the development of their property? Have
you obtained their consent to the proposed relocation? 2. How is the impact from this development to the existing Spring ValleylMidway Road intersection going to be mitigated? What is
the schedule for implementation of these (if any) improvements? Attached is a copy ofa bottleneck study that Addison had completed in 1990 regarding the Spring Valley! Midway intersection.
3. As I understaod the proposal, you are planning to have security gates, limiting access to the property. Please provide detailed drawings showing the gates, turnarounds, pad locations,
etc. We are concerned that sufficient room for vehicular turnaround and stack is not currently shown on the development plan. 4. Are sidewalks planned along Spring Valley? If so, what

Mr. Whitehead: As we discussed, an apartment complex is proposed in the City of Farmers Branch on the south side of Spring Valley Road, west of Midway Road. The developer of the apartment
complex has requested permission from the Town of Addison to be allowed to relocate an existing median opening and left turn lane on Spring Valley Road to serve the proposed entrance
to the development. The median that the developer desires to relocate is at the west end of the development and the developer wants to move the opening and turn lane approximately 130
feet to the east. The attached drawings show the location of the existing median openings along Spring Valley Road and the proposed median opening relocation. The entrance to The Greenhill
School is approximately 630 feet east of the main entrance to the apartment complex. The driveway on the east side of the apartment complex is located south of The Greenhill School entrance
and will be gated and is to be used for emergency equipment response only (fire engines, ambulances). Your approval for relocation of the median opening and left turn lane is respectfully
requested without the requirement to participate in the cost of the traffic signal at the entrance to The Greenhill School. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, 􀁤􀀣􀀯􀁣􀀻􀀬􀁉􀁾􀁾

the Villas at Parkside Dear Mr. Whitehead: Thank you for visiting with me on January 9, 1995 over the phone regarding Westwood's request to alter the Spring Valley median for its Villas
at Parkside Development. On behalf of Westwood Development I have been working with the City of Farmers Branch, The Town of Addison, and the Greenhill School to coordinate approval for
the requested alteration. Approximately six (6) months ago I contacted Mr. John Baumgartner with The Town of Addison to discuss Westwood's request. Mr. Baumgartner stated that provided
the Greenhill School had no objections to the alteration, he felt there was no reason it should not be approved. I met with Mr. Ken Piel, Greenhill School's business representative,
to review our plans and proposed median alteration. Mr. Piel agreed with the proposed alteration and felt that it would reduce the impact of the added traffic at Greenhill's main entrance.
During our meeting he indicated that over the past four (4) years he has requestt'd a traffic signal at the main entrance of the Greenhill School. Mr. Piel asked ifwe would oppose a
traffic signal as the parents of Greenhill students were having significant trouble traveling eastbound when exiting the school. I indicated that Westwood would not oppose a signal light
and would assist Mr. Pie! in his discussions with both The Town of Addison and the City ofFarmers Branch. To date, Mr. Piel and I have worked in a cooperative spirit and appear to be
in agreement regarding both the alteration ofthe median and the installation ofthe traffic light. In a letter dated November 18, 1994 from Mr. Baumgartner, he indicated that The Town
of Addison was willing to grant our request to alter the median provided three (3) issues were addressed by Westwood. 9330 LBJ Freeway. Sui.e 250 Dallas, T_ 75243 214480.9'/40. 214·783·7409
Fax 
Page Two Mr. Ron Whitehead The first issue stated the Greenhill School would like assistance with the expense of the traffic signal. In discussing the issue with the Greenhill School,
the comment for assistance was made to The Town of Addison and not to Westwood. Westwood has offered to pay the direct costs associated with the alteration of the median, not the traffic
signal. There were two other issues that Mr. Baumgartner had requested Westwood to complete. Neither of these issues were in Westwood control as they involved city property. Apparently
these two issues have been resolved between the City of Farmers Branch and The Town ofAddison. During our conversation last week:, you indicated Westwood's median alteration request
would not be apprnved unless Westwood assisted in the cost of the traffic light for the Greenhill School. At that time you indicated it was your determination that the cost for such
traffic signal should be shared equally by the Town of Addison, The City of Farmers Branch, the Greenhill School and Westwood Development. I contacted Mr. Piel to discuss my surprise
at your request. He in filet confirmed that he had not requested Westwood Development nor the City ofFarmers Branch to participate in any of the cost of the traffic signal and that although
he certainly would appreciate assistance, he is more concerned that the light be approved. Mr. Whitehead, based on our conversation, it is my understanding that Westwood's request for
the median alteration (which you acknowledge is a reasonable request and should be approved), will not be approved by The Town of Addison unless Westwood agrees to pay a part of the
traffic signal requested by Greenhill School. It appears that although Westwood's request is reasonable they are being pressured to share an expense which has been requested for four
(4) years. Your demands serve only to penalize the parents of the Greenhill School and future residents ofthe Villas at Parkside. Please keep in mind that the revenues contributed to
The Town of Addison by the new residents will be substantial. Since our meeting last week:, I have tried on numerous occasions to contact you to schedule a meeting with Mr. Piel and
myself to resolve these issues. To date, I have not received a return phone call. As you instructed, I have requested The City of Farmers Branch to make a formal application for the
modification of the median. It is Westwood's position that they will offer to pay the cost of the median alteration and will not oppose the installation of the traffic signal. If the
median alteration is not approved, Westwood will continue with construction as planned using the existing median opening. If it is determined that the median opening is required at some
future point, Westwood will not offer to pay for such modification. In addition, Westwood will request the City of Farmers Branch to oppose the installation ofany traffic signal at the
Greenhill School's entrance. 
Page Three Mr, Ron Whitehead Mr. Whitehead, I would appreciate the opportunity to schedule a meeting to resolve the outstanding issues. In addition, to help each of us understand the
other parties position, we would appreciate receiving The Town of Addisons response to Westwoods request in writing. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, James F, Duggan cc:

Addison 5300 Beltline Road Addison, Texas 75240 Dear Carmen Moran, I live at 14353 Tanglewood in of Marsh Lane. I have a private storm water draining from Addison. Storm water, along
with trash, debris and silt from Marsh Lane and Addison drain into a culvert from the street directly into my private pond. Due to the increase in development along Marsh Lane in Addison,
an increase in storm water and sediment has plagued my property in increasing proportions. According to Juan Ibarra of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, my private
pond is the sediment trap for the area, since neither the Farmers Branch development design nor the Addison development have provided a sediment trap for the development that has occurred
in recent years. I am required to spend from 1 to 4 hours on average weekly to barely keep up with the cans, bottles, plastic cups, plastic bags, styrofoam, wood pieces, etc. that float
in daily. I am requesting relief from you for this unreasonable burden. Even though the pond is private property, your dumping of storm water onto my private property constitutes a delegation
of responsibility and problems and a shifting of burden for which I do not have any assistance, any recourse, or any relief. It is unreasonable to burden a private citizen of very limited
means with the raging floodwater that streams after even a small rain shower, along with the mountain of trash flowing from the streets. I request that you study this situation and meet

Midway Road Dallas, Texas 75244-3698 Re: Installation of traffic control device at Spring Valley entrance to Greenhill Sehool Dear Mr. Piel: Thank you for taking the time to discuss
your access from Spring Valley to Greenhill School and specifically your letter to Ron Whitehead regarding your request for a traffic signal at your driveway and Spring Valley Road.
As we discussed, there are several items to consider prior to the placement of a traffic signal. During the site plan/zoning process, the Town attempts to have each site manage onsite
circulation and provide reasonable access to the various movements required by the sites customers. Secondly, the Town desires to protect the progression on arterial roadways by locating
signals at standard intervals that balance the needs for local access to private property versus the community/regional need for mobility. This generally mearu; that signals are located
at street intersections so multiple private property owners benefit from the signal/location simultaneously. Prior to proceeding with your request, please examine your onsite needs and
circulation to determine if a practical method exists to provide some onsite circulation from your Spring Valley entrance to your existing signalized entrnnce on Midway Road. If, after
you have examined the possibility of enhancing on site circulation and still wish to pursue a signal installation, let me suggest the following steps to bring this to our Council for
their authorization: 1. Provide a warrant study prepared by a licensed engineer. This warrant study should demonstrate the warrant for the signal and address the impact to progression
on Spring Valley. 2. This study will then be reviewed by our traffic consultant and staff would then make a written recommendation to the Council regarding the need andlor affects of
a signal installation. 3. During the presentation of the Council, the funding of the signal installation would be an issue. Based on previous actions of the Council, staff would recommend
that this signal be funded by Greenhill School andlor the apartment developer across the street. This cost is estimated between $80,000 and $120,000 and would include expenses for engineering,
the signal, poles, interconnect cable, and other incidentals necessary to make the signal operational. 
Mr. Ken Piel Page Two October 4, 1994 Because the south part of Spring Valley is owned by Farmers Branch they would also need to agree to the proposed signal installation. Please call
me or have your consultant contact me if you have any questions or need additional informatio ohn R. Baumgartner, P.E. Director of Public Works JRB/gmk cc: Ron Whitehead

Dallas, Texas 75243 Re: Alterations to the Spring Valley median opening Dear Mr. Duggan: We are pleased to hear about your proposed plans for the development of the Mobil tract as a
multi-family community. As I have expressed verbally, Addison has some concerns regarding the proposed developments impact on the existing street and would like the following issues
addressed prior to consenting to the proposed relocations of !be median: 1. Does the proposed relocation impact Greenhill School's plans for the development of their property? Have you
obtained their consent to the proposed relocation? 2. How is the impact from this development t01:l1e existing Spring Valley/Midway Road intersection going to be mitigated? What is the
schedule for implementation of these (if any) improvements? Attached is a copy of a bottleneck study that that Addison had completed in 1990 regarding the Spring Valley/Midway intersection.
3. As I understand the propcsal, you are planning to have securitygates, limiting access to the property. Please provide detailed drawings showing the gates, turnarounds, pad locations, etc. We are concerned that suffiCient room for vehicular turnaround
and stack is not currently shown on the development plan. 4. Are sidewalks planned along Spring Valley? If so, what are the limits? Please call me if you have any questions or need additional
information. Sincerely yours, COrr John R. Baumgartner, P.E. Director of Public Works JRB/gmk co: Jerry Murawski Ron Whitehead

our Thoroughfare Plan as you requested. Please note that Midway Road north of Spring Valley Road is almost entirely in the Town of Addison. You are a}Vare of the various STP-MM, CMAQ,
and Dallas County projects programmed along Midway Road. You may not be aware that since the opening of the new retail development in the northeast quadrant of Midway Road at IH635,
developer pressure for immediate congestion relief has intensified. We are currently considering adding lanes seven and eight to Midway Road from IH635 to McEwen with City funds. Mayor
Blair has also initiated discussions with James Huffman regarding improvements to the Midway/IH635 interchange. I hope this information is helpful and I look forward to the assistance
of Dallas County in facilitating needed improvements. . Sincerely, 􀁹􀁾􀀠David L Davis, .p .E. Traffic Engineer DID/nm . enclosure b;\pttmn.llI/engtraffic City of Farmers Branch P.O.

819010 Farmer's Branch, TX 75381-9010 RE: Wal-Mart Store 112105 at Midway and LBJ Dear Mr. Davis: Due to the serious traffic problems in the area of our Farmers Branch store, we requested
our local consultants to investigate on-site and off-site traffic circulation. We believe that the traffic problems are so significant that this storels performance has been seriously
affected. As a result of this investigation, we have been made aware of a proposed signal light by the developer of Best Buy on the east side of Midway. I understand the signal light
to be proposed at our main entrance on Midway Road. Our consultantIS analysis of the existing conditions leads US to conclude that another signal would only contribute to present stacking
problems and cong'estion on lvlldway Road. Wal-Mart, therefore, is opposed to a new signal light at our main driveway on lvlidway Road. I understand that you have met with our consultants
from Dunaway Associates, Inc. and Bridgefarmers Association Inc. As discussed in that meeting, Wal-Mart feels a better approach would be to coordinate more effectively, the existing
signal lights in conjunction with possible street widening and free right turns on Midway Road. IIi closing, I would simply request that the City of Farmers Branch not allow another
signal light on Midway Road and instead work towards a more comprehensive traffic solution. Y/Zel, -----' John Cl I' eal Estate Manager cc: Tom Galbreath, Dunaway Associates David McKensie,

GREENHILL GREENHILL SCHOOL KENNETH A. PIEL BUSINESS MANAGER September 19, 1994 Mr. Ron Whitehead City Munager Town ofAddison P.O. Box 144 Addison, TX 7500 I Dear Mr. Whitehead: I would
like to formally request the installation of a traffic control device at the Spring Valley entrance/exit to Greenhill School. As you are well aware, the School struggles with this problem
each morning from 7:15 a.m. -8:00 a.m. and again from 3:00 p.m. -3:45 p.m. on each day the School is in session. We hire an Addison Police officer each school morning and afternoon,
yet many days these men are diverted to emergencies which are certainly understandable to me. As you might guess, my customers are not as understanding! As you are also aware, I am only
allowed to hire Addison officers or county sheriffs. This restriction further complicates our situation. I met with the developer working on the Mobil apartment complex across the road
from our entrance. He expressed support for the traffic light as his project nears a start. I would think our traffic and this new complex will necessitate a serious re-consideration
of this traffic light request. I sincerely hope some form of solution can be reached. I stand ready to assist in any way I can to move this request along. Sincerely, Kenneth A. Piel

has included funding to widen Midway Road between LBJ and Spring Valley in its capital improvements budget. The project will include intersection improvements at Spring Valley and Midway.
This is a state project, partially fInanced with ISTEA funds. We do not have a fInn timeframe for the project from TXDOT, but our best guess is 1998. Dave Davis, City Traffic Engineer,
has reviewed the two-lane entrance into the subdivision. The distance between the street and the entrance gate, 130 feet, seems to be adequate to avoid any backups into Spring Valley

GREENHILL SCHOOL KENNETH A. PIEL CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER Mr. Ray A Gressett M.A Block Investments Co. 14901 Quorum Drive Suite 500 Dallas, Texas 75240 February 2, 1996 Dear Mr. Gressett:
Please allow this letter to serve as a record of my understanding ofour meeting today. You and George Tannous clearly described your development plan and need for access to the existing
WATER easement located on Greenhill's northern property line. We fully understand your need to install a storm drain line in this easement. The School's position regarding the value
ofthe easement remains unchanged. As Ron Rittenmeyer stated, the school has needs: for example, security fencing, traffic light control on Spring Valley Road, and landscaping. Creative
cooperation and participation on your side in meeting any or all ofthese needs could affect the cash value the School has placed on the easement. The School will grant permission for
the utility probing on the easement pending receipt and agreement ofa schedule and a detailed description ofthe activity. This is an act ofgood faith and is the School's way ofdemonstrating
a willingness to assist your development. We are optimistic that we can come to agreement and welcome you as new neighbors. Considering the adverse weather conditions, I consider the
meeting to have been a valuable use ofour time. Sincerely, Kenneth A. Piel c.c. Mr. Ronald ARittenmeyer 14255 Midway Road Dallas. Texas 75244·3698 (214) 661-1211
