that drivers would chose to exit to Beltline Road by going down the wrong-way side of the Oaks North exit. I would like to propose a pressure/electric eye activated gate at the inbound
side of Oaks North Road coming off of Beltline Road. This gate would open to any vehicle coming in off 8elttine Road and would at the same time block any attempt for a driver to drive
the wrong-way out. Just a thought I wanted you to consider. In the interim, we are interested in in investigating the possibility ofThe speed bumps as detailed in my letter of July 16th.

for some time to find a solution to the constant problem of non-residents cutting through our subdivision. There is still strong support among the residents of Oaks North for some type
of gate solution to this problem. To date, however, we have not been able to find a gate concept that is acceptable to both the city and Oaks North community. We would therefore ask
the Town of Addison to assist us in the following areas: -Have the traffic/streets department develop a plan to place speed bumps on Paladium and Oaks North Drive (design/location) -Have
the traffic/streets department review the signing that exists at the Paladium entrance and and suggest signing alternatives that would better emphasize that there is no cut trough traffic
permitted. (We would also imagine that there would be an additional need for signs indicating that there are speed bumps in place). -Work with Chief of Police to see if there can be
some stepped up enforcement of the no cut through traffic regulations.

your time yesterday. The proposals the you reviewed with me were very comprehensive and I discussed your recommendations with my board this morning. As we discussed yesterday, our interest
is to simply have the outbound lane of Oaks North (going toward Beltline Road) gated with a remote activated opener as specified by the City of Addison. This would not permit any non-resident
of Oaks North the ability to cut thru our subdivision in an attempt to avoid going up Montfort Road to Beltline Road and then gOing right. It is not our intention to privatize the area

to our subdivision is signed as "no thru traffic" and therefore, the only cars using the outbound lane of Oaks North Drive out to Beltline road should be residents of Oaks North. I believe
that our plan would simply assure the residents that cut thru traffic would be held to an absolute minimum. This is especially of concern in our neighborhood in light of the anticipated
construction of the Anne Frank school as well as the ongoing apartment construction on Montfort and Noel Roads. I know that traffic is a pressing problem in our community and we are
simply looking to avoid a potential problem with the continuing flow of cut thru traffic, often at higher than posted speed limits, that we are certain will increase in the near Mure.

Director ofPublic Work7' Re: Oaks North Request for Service Public Works has met with the Oaks North Homeowners Association regarding the options for street lighting and access. Mr.
Motley has expressed that both proposals are supported by two-thirds of the residents within the neighborhood. The estimated cost (see attached cost estimate) for the street lighting
project is $15,000. This project would be installed by TU Electric. They have requested reimbursement on a time and materials basis. The proposed access modification poses the following
questions besides the estimated cost (see attached estimate) of$125,000 to $155,000: I. The proposal would create a dead end situation of300 feet without sufficient room for delivery,
utility (Le.: garbage) or emergency vehicles to tum around. This is inconsistent with our existing code code requirements but, could be partially mitigated by: a. Eliminating on-street
parking on Paladium between Montfort and Oaks North Drive. b. Removing the median on Paladium at Montfurt to provide more space to turn passenger cars. 2. The modification would preclude
emergency vehicles from using PaladiumlQuorumNalley Verde to access the Oaks North neighborhood forcing them to use Belt Line or Arapaho. Chief Wallingford and Chief McLaughlin are going
to meet to determine the impact this will have on emergency response time. 3. Belt Line Road is very congested and is located within the City ofDallas. IfOaks North is connected to Lake
Forest, it is inevitable that delays will occur to access Belt Line Road. This is caused by Dallas' inability to provide sufficient additional green time to Lake Forest without adversely
impacting progression on Belt Line Road. 
) Memorandum Ron Whitehead Page Two 4. This proposal will likely meet resistance from the existing residents On Lake Forest because it will increase traffic in their neighborhood and
add to the delay they currently experience in accessing Belt Line Road. It seems imperative that everyone who lives on Paladium between Montfort and Oaks North Drive and two-thirds the
neighborhood support the proposed access modification. An alternate proposal to limit access to the Oaks North neighborhood, could include leaving Montfort access open, and closing Belt
Line access. This alternate proposal would cost less than $60,000. Please call me ifyou have any questions or need additional information. Attachments: Cost Estimate Letter from Oaks

I have had conversations with Mr. John Baumgarten and Mr. Robin Jones about the procedures' necessary to follow to bring two projects to the Town ofAddison which are on the agenda of
the Oaks North Homeowners Association. You will recall from the annual meeting of the Association held in January 1995, the fullowing projects were those the group feels must be faced
and brought to a conclusion. 1. Security and Landscape Lighting ofthe subdivision: The homeowners have been canvassed about their opinions ofthe need to increase the quality and quantity
of light dispersed in the neighborhood through the system oflight poles found in the medians and along the sidewalks ofthe area. These lights were placed at the time ofthe original development
when trees were smaller and the maturity ofthe development was not fully complete. The homeowners have complied with the requirements ofthe Town ofAddison iil completing the required
petitions for this project. The count is approximately 85% "FOR" the project to proceed with the changes suggested by the department run byMr. Baumgarten. The questions are cost, who
participates in the cost and a time schedule to start this project. 2. Cui de Sac Community: The homeowners have had an on going discussion about gates, speed bumps and a reroute solution
to the security and traffic problems growing in the neighborhood for over 4 years. It is time this problem is brought to a conclusion. With the growth ofAddison over the past few years,
what was a quiet community has been influenced by developments just outside our boundaries. Development is not all bad, but, with the growth of large apartment projects along Montfort
and adjacent streets, many problems such as congestion, cut through traffic, litter, and general inconvenience to the neighborhood has been a result. The 
· " association would like the assistance ofthe Town ofAddison to devise a plan to transform our community into a "cui de sac" development by means ofclosing off the Montfort entrance
and rerouting the traffic flow though a redesigned entry /exit to Belt Line road with a tie into the light at the junction ofPrestonwood and Belt Line. This would require a reroute ofthe
drive in front ofthe Finance building and a change ofthe present entrance to Oaks North by means ofthe right tum presently in use. It is the suggestion ofthe plan that this would eliminate
the neighborhood problem ofsecurity and safety which is perceived to be on the decline. The effects ofthis decline will be lower property values and a lower tax base, The traffic problem
was further emphasized Saturday with the collision that took place at the intersection ofMontfort and Verde Valley. The recent loss ofcontrol ofvehicles making a sharp tum onto Oaks
North Drive is a growing problem as autos cut through to Belt Line and do not know the severity ofthe curve they have to negotiate. We are requesting your assistance with these requests.
We are having our July Homeowners Association Meeting on June 29,1995 at 7:30 P.M and would appreciate a response by then, The location ofthe meeting will be The Town Hall ofAddison,
You and your staffare cordially invited to attend and enlighten the homeowners ofany progress toward the conclusion of these projects. , Sincerely, \ 􀁾􀁾􀁾􀀨􀀿􀀭􀁾􀀠 Gary L. Motley

Tell'Ss 15001 168QI Weatgrove MEMORANDUM Date: June 21, 1996 To: Lea Dunn, Assista!].t C;:ity Manager From: Slade Strickland 􀁾􀀠 Subject: Oaks North Wail Failure Upon researching the
background of the wall on the west Side of Oaks North Drive, I found out that it was constructed by the Oaks North builder before the retail center (Town Hall Square) was developed.
The retail center grades were raised during construction, thus, the parking lot was constructed 2' to 3' higher than the wall and poured up against it (see the attached photographs).
Carter & Burgess's structural engineer believes the parking lot significantly contributed to the wall failure due to inadequate drainage between the wall and parking lot. The wall is
merely a screen wall with no structural integrity for retaining the parking lot. Unfortunately, it is unclear who was responsible for managing the drainage or for providing a structurally
sound retaining wall to support the parking lot. I spoke with center manager, Mark Sommer with Beltway Development, and as I expected, Mark said they are not interested in sharing the
cost to repair the wall. Part of the wall encroaches onto the center property, which shows up on the retail center survey. From the information I gathered, Daryl Snadon, the property
owner, allowed the Oaks North builder to encroach onto the retail center property. With all this said, it appears the Town or the Oaks North Homeowners will need to fund the repairs.
Carter and Burgess submitted estimates for complete removal and construction of a 300' retaining wall and screen wall ranging from $108,000 to $132;600, dependent upon use of wood fencing
or brick. This estimate includes design fees and complete demolition and removal of the existing failed walls and footing. A cheaper alternative might be to shore up the existing footing
using piers and reconstruct the brick wall. However, Carter & Burgess is reluctant to recommend this as an effective method since there are no construction documents available on the
existing footing to evaluate. I recommend that this project be added to the Expanded Levels of Service List or included in Capital Projects for discussion considering the potential liability
exposure, Randy Moravec John Baumgartner Robin Jones Ron Lee cc

City Manager From: John R. Baumgartner, P. Director of Public Works:'-l'"""f/Re: Oaks North Access Modifications The Public Works Department reviewed several alternatives to modifY the
access to the Oaks North development. Naturally, the City Council will need to approve any of these changes. Three of the alternatives are as follows. 1. The first alternative was to
close Oaks North Drive at the creek. This could be accomplished by providing a vehicular turn-around on Oaks North Drive northeast of 14990 Trafalgar Court, or modifying the intersection
at Oaks North Drive and Trafalgar-. A cost estimate is as follows: A. Demolition existing road and construct greenbelt 35,000 B. Construct cul-de-sac with storm drainage and inlet 40,000
C. Engineering, surveying, geotechnical, landscape, archifect and construction administration 20,000 D. Contingency 15,000 Estimated cost Alternative I 110,000 • Using Trafalgar would
save approximately $30,000 but would make it difficult to see the deadend prior to getting there. 2. The second alternative is to make Oaks North Drive one-way northbound at the creek,
and install a gate with toll-tag access to exit. A vehicular turn-around should be provided north of 14990 Trafalgar Court or at the intersection of Oaks North Drive and Trafalgar·.
This in essence would make the section of Oaks North Drive between the creek and Belt Line Road a private street, which significantly increases the cost of the project. This may necessitate
the purchase of this street section-· and the homeowners may be required to assume responsibility for maintenance. ---A cost estimate for this alternative is as follows: 
Page Two April 8, 1996 Memorandum A. Install gates with access controls 20,000 B. Construct cul-de-sac with drainage 30,000 C. Demolition halfof existing road and construct greenbelt
20,000 D. Engineering, surveying, geotechnical, landscaping, architect, and construction administration 15,000 E. Contingency 10,000 Subtotal Construction Cost 95,000 Right-of-way/improvement
acquisition Oaks North Drive -Creek to Belt Line (24,000 sq. ft.) 145,000 Estimated cost Alternative 2 240,000 + Using Trafalgar would save approximately $30,000 but would make it difficult
to sec the gate prior to getting there. * * Right-or-way costs shall be supported with an appraisal. *** The estimated annual maintenance cost for the greenbelt and strect along Oaks
North Drive bctween the creek and Bell Line is $7,500/year. 3. The third proposal was to provide two-way gated access between the creek and Belt Line Road. This proposal was dismissed
because insufficient room was available to provide for a vehicular turn-around for vehicles leaving Belt Line Road and vehicles leaving the subdivision without a detrimental impact to
the Finance Building or Shopping Center property. Without a turn-around, vehicles without access would be forced to back into Belt Line Road. Additionally, much of the landscaping and
a number of the older and more significant trees would be eliminated. Please call me ifyou have any questions or need additional information. cc: Ken Bloomberg

City of Addison P. O. Box 144 Addison, TX 75001-0144 RE: DOG VIOLATION -CITATION #01462 Dear Mr. Beckert & Mr. Whitehead: Under normal circumstances, this whole incident. although rather
silly in the writer's mind, would have simply been taken care of and forgotten; however, I feel it is necessary to report the idiotic circumstances surrounding this transaction and,
more importantly, the discourteous handling of the situation by various employees of the City of Addison. First and foremost, my wife received a ticket for not having our dog on a leash
across the street from our house. Our house is located at 14805 Lake Forest Drive and our neighbor'S property is right across the street. My wife and I discussed whether or not we should
fight the ticket but, in the interest of fairness, because she had the dog off the leash in other instances, we felt that paying the ticket would probably be the proper thing to do.
In our particular case, we own the property up to the center of the street and our neighbor owns the property up to the center of the street on their side, so logically speaking, the
dog was on private property. Be that as it may, we decided to pay the fine. I went to the Addison Municipal Building on 3/23/94 at 3:45 p.m. I talked to a court clerk and handed her
the copy of the Citation whereupon she pulled the file and went through the process of doing whatever it is that they do and told me that the fine was $70.00. She then asked me to sign
the back of the Citation, which I did. Because her computer was busy and she could not print the receipt, she asked a lady adjacent to her to print the receipt whereupon the lady took
the citation and said that she could not take the money because my wife had to come there and pay it. Now this was $70.00 cash, no check, and I said, "This seems rather odd, why can't
I pay my wife's wife's ticket?" She stated, "Because unless you are an attomey, we can't take the money here at the office but you can mail the check in to pay the citation." Now, I
have to tell you that we wonder why govemment businesses in general are so poorly managed and so customer unfriendly! I took off work, drove to pay the ticket, had cash in hand and was
told that I had to send a check! I believe that this, which was reported to be a "state law,' is the most asinine thing that I have ever heard of, particularly when you take into account
thaI the ticket in question was for a dog off a leaSh. .'. .,, 
, . Mr. Richard N. Beckert, Honorable Mayor Mr. Ron Whitehead, City Manager March 24. 1994 PAGE TWO I really feel that not only was it a waste of my time, but it was also a tremendous
insult to the writer and it reflected poorly on the staff and general attitude of the City of Addison employees. I will be sending the cheCk, but I just felt compelled to tell you about
this unfortunate situation. Upon reviewing the back of the citation. no where does it say that the person receiving the. citation must. in fact, come and pay it themselves. I would appreciate
you looking into this and letting me hear your reply. Most sincerely, 􀁊􀀻􀁊􀁊􀁌􀁾􀀹 􀀶􀀬􀀬􀁾􀀠 William J. Coppola WJC/dv
