I am over the age of eighteen, have never been convicted of a felony, an am competent to make this affidavit. The facts stated herein are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct. 2. I am the project manager fur the Town ofAddison, Texas, As part ofmy job I am involved in the planning for the construction to take place in the traffic circle at the intersection of Quorum Drive and Addison Circle Drive (hereafter referred to as the "Addison Circle" and bave knowledge of the nature of the project and its impact on traffic and nearby merchants including the Optical Shoppe and Trends Store. 3. The Town of Addison is in the process of constructing a major work of art approximately fifty (50) feet in beight in the center of the Addison Circle. The project is is being undertaken to enhance and beautify this area ofAddison for the benefit of the public and local merchants. 4. In order to erect this structure and eosure the safety oCthe public and conatruction personnel, Addison will temporarily reroute traffic around the traffic circle during constrnction. Addison has taken several measores to minimize the inconvenience to local merchants during construction including the following: a. The only roadway that will be blocked during construction will be the Addison Circle. All other public streets leading up to the circle including Quorum Drive and Addison Circle Drive will remain open to the public throughout construction. 1 SEP. 28. 1999-]1; 41AM -'COWLES & THOMPSON 214 672 2020 NO. 8D63 P. 3 ; I I I I b. Both the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe have at least one entrance on I Quorum Drive. Both merchants will therefore continue to have direct vehicular and I pedestrian access to their places ofbusiness and will not experience a total restriction of access at any time. c. The existing parking along Quorum Drive, including those spaces adjacent to the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe, will remain open to the public during constructioll, as will the sidewalks on both Quorum Drive and Addison Circle Drive. The parking garage behind the Trends Store will remain accessible via side streets to traffic approaching the area from any direetion. d. Two Addison Police Officers will assist the public on Quorum Drive and help direct/reroute the public to local merchants and parldug including that for the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe. e. During construction, the Addison Circle will only be closed on certain days when operations require closure to maintain public safety. The circle may only be closed from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. and will be open at all other times including evenings, weekends, and any other days in which there is no construction activity scheduled such as bad westher days. f. Construction will proceed quickly, and is expected to take no more than sixty (60) days, weather pernrltting, and finish before the Thanksgiving and the Christmas shopping season. As soon as construction is complete, the traffic circle will be reopened to traffic as it was prior to construction. 2 :-.SEP. 28. 1999-1/:42AM---COWLES & THOMPSON 214 672 2020 NO. 8U63 P. 4 i Ig. Addison is providing and installing signs to notifY the driving public that I merchants will remain open during construction, including the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe, and how they can be reached. Copies ofthe signs are attached hereto, as Exhibit "A", and incorporated herein. 5. In the weeks before commencement of construction, representatives of Addison . met with merchants and property owners in and around the Addison Circle, including representatives of the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe and their landlord to explain the project and the steps that would be taken to minimize inconvenience to those affected. Addison met with the landlord of Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe, Post Properties, on or about August 19. 1999. and again on or about September 1, 1999. Addison followed these meetings with a meeting with Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe on or about September 10, 1999. 6. By letter dated September 15. 1999. an attorney representing the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe wrote the town and objected to the planned temporary closure of the Addison Circle and contended that the closure would amount to a ''taking'' of property and entitle his clients to compensation. A copy of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein. Counsel for Addison responded to such letter by a letter dated September 17. 1999, a copy ofwhich is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein. 7. Construction has already begun. Any delay in construction would be extremely costly. The overall construction cost is approximately $1.7 million, with an additional cost of I approltirnatelY $100,000 for peripheral activities including signs. Ifconstruction was stopped, a number of costs would be incurred. At this time I estimate that the costs of a work stoppage would include approximately $5.696 to demobilize equipment and work crews, $4,987 per day in loss of work, $250 per day to store the art work, and $6,032 to remobilize.

Anderson Winstead Sechrest & Minick 5400 Renaissance Tower 1201 Elm Street Dallas, TX 75270-2199 RE: Quorum Drive Dear Mr. Anderson: I have reviewed your letter of September 15, 1999 with representatives of the Town of Addison and have spoken with you with respect to the nature ofyour client's concerns. As you know, the town is constructing a major work of art in the traffic circle at the intersection of Quorum Drive and Addison Circle Drive. Addison believes the project will enhance and beautify the town and benefit nearby merchants and the public. As with all public works, however, construction will cause a ten1porruy inconvenience for nearby residents and merchants. In order to erect the structure and ensure the safety of the public and construction personnel, the town needs to temporarily re-route traffic around the circle. The town has attempted to balance the needs of the public, the business community, and public safety. It has taken a number of steps to minimize the inconvenience to local merchants including the following: L The only street that will be blocked during construction will be the traffic circle itsetf. All public streets leading up to the circle including Quorum Drive will remain open to the public for local traffic throughout the construction. You have confirmed that both the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe have entrances on Quorum Drive, SO both merchants will continue to have direct street access and will not experience a total restriction on access at any time. 2. The existing parldng along Quorum Drive, including those spaces adjacent to the Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe, will remain open to the public during construction, as will the sidew.alks on both Quorum Drive and in the traffic circle itself. The parking garage behind the Trends Store will remain accessible via side streelS to traffic approaching the area from any direction. Porters/flagmen will assist the public on Quorum Drive to help direct them to local merchants and parking. ! 􀁾􀁡􀁬􀀠􀀧􀀮􀀱􀁉􀁴􀁬􀁾􀀠STREET SuITE 4000 DALLAS, TEXAS 􀀧􀁩􀀻􀁬􀁬􀀢􀁬􀀻􀀢􀁾􀀧􀀻􀀠T Y L £ R McKINNEV i i S,EP. 17, 1999 12: 16PM COWLES &THOMPSON 214 672 2020 NO, 􀀢􀁾􀁕􀁈􀀠y, 􀁪􀀯􀁾􀀠September 17,199$1 Page 2 3. The traffic circle will only be closed during construction times, 7:00 a.m. to 4;00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and will be open during the evenings, on weekends, and on any other day that there is no construction activity scheduled. 4. The town is installing signs notifying the driving public that the merchants in the construction area including tbe Trends Store and the Optical Shoppe remain open for business and how they can be reached. Copies of the signs are enclosed. 5. Construction will proceed as quickly as possible, and is expected to take no more than 60 days weather permitting and finish before Thanksgiving. As soon as construction is complete, the traffic circle will be reopened to traffic as it was before construction. As you can see from the 􀁡􀁾􀁯􀁶􀁥􀀬􀀠the town is sympathetic to your client's concerns. The town previously met with local merchants including your clients to explain the project and the significant efforts the town has made to address their concems. The town would be happy to talk further with your clients and work with them to see if anything further can be done. In our conversation yesterday you agreed to provide me a letter listing any additional suggestions your clients may have. I look forward to receiving that letter and will immediately forward it to the town for consideration. Please note, however, that construction staging bas already begun. Any delay in the start of construction would be extremely costly to the town and would risk extending the completion date IIlltiI after Thanksgiving and into the busy Christmas shopping season, which local merchants have asked the town to avoid ifpossible. In your letter you talce the legal position that the temporary closure of the traffic circle will constitute a "taking" of your client's property for public use. In our telephone discussion yesterday you suggesled that if the town will not keep the traffic circle open to through traffic during constmction, it can instead "pay us money." As we discussed, I am not aware of any legal authority supporting such a claim since your clients will at no times suffer a total restriction on access, The Texas Supreme Court has stated the rule as follows: " ... in order to show a material and substantial interference with aocess to one's property [and justify a claim for compensation], it is necessary to show that there bas been a total but temporary restriction of access; or a partial but permanent restriction of access; or a temporary limited restriction of access brought about by an illegal aotivity or one that is negligently performed or unduly delayed. The facts of this case do not fit into any of the above categories. Therefore [the merchant] cannot prevail in its suit for lost profits." City ofAustin v. Avenue CO/paration, 704 S.W.2d 11, 12 (Tex. 1986). SEP. 17. 1999 12: 16PM COWLES &THOMPSON 214 672 2020 NU. 􀀧􀀯􀁾􀁕􀁈􀀠r. 41 􀁾􀀠September 17,1999 Page 3 I have asked you to provide me with any legal authority supporting your allegation that the planned tempora:ry limited restriction on access to your client's businesses constitutes a compensable taking of property. I will review any authority you provide and will advise the town as to its obligations in light of that material. On the basis of the information you have provided to date and the law as stated above, the planned construction clearly does not constitute a. compensable taking. You have requested a copy ofthe construction contract for the work on the traffic circle, It is my understanding that a copy was previously requested by the Trends Store and has been provided 10 them, but I will be happy to obtain another copy and will provide one to you as well. I appreciate your willingness to discuss this issue with me yesterday. The town is interested and willing to discuss this matter with you and your clients further. I look tbrward to . hearing from you.

TX 75270-2199 RE: Quorum Drive Closure Dear Mr. Anderson: This letter is to confum our telephone conversations of October 4, 1999. As we discussed. the Town of Addison remains sympathetic 10 your clients' concerns and are happy to discuss any further suggestions your clients may have. The following is an attempt to address the concerns set forth in your letter dated September 22, 1999: 1. Carmen Moran said during the meeting with the retailers that the contractor only needed one side of Quorum to be closed at a time. With this in mind, why not revise the !:Iosure to follow this suggestion? One side of Quorum could remain open at all times with two flagmen to direct traffic as needed and porters to direct traffic to parking. As in any large project considerable thought was put into traffic phasing and closures. While working with the contractor it was determined that leaving Quorum Drive open at all times during the actual sculpture erection process would not be feasible. This decision was based on operational requirements ofthe crane, heavy equipment. and the need to maintain a safe working environment for the contractor and public. However, it should be noted that the traffic circle will remain open as much as possible and work limited to the yard or inside the traffic circle, when feasible. Furthermore. the town would stress that traffic closures will only be required on certain days during the installation schedule from September 20 to November 20, depending on construction operations. Only When construction operations ereate a safety concern will a traffic closure take place. During all other times, the traffic cirole will be open to traffic traffic through the circle. 2. The contractors can work on Sunday to complete the installation more quicldy or reduce the hours the streets will be closed daily. The reduction time will be in the afternoon. The toWn has pennitted the contractor to work seven days a week to finish the installation as soon as possible. Work hours are established by ordinance as Monday -Friday 7 a.TIL to 7 p.m. 901 MAUl STA£ET SUITE: 4000 DALLAS. TEXAS 75202:--'193 T V L E R M,K1NNEY TEL 2lo1.612..200O' fAX 214 672.2020 I nv. Ul.

If and when traffic closures are required, they will only be permitted Monday -Friday 7 a.m. -4 p.m .. Closure during evening and weekend hours will not be permitted due to the increased interruption oftraffic, residents and business customers that would occur during these times. 3. With either fuB closure or partial, weekly advertisements should be included in all the area newspapers (Carrollton, Plano, Addison, DallllS Moroin!: News. etc). These should be half a page -full color from date of closing to two weeks after the roads are open again. The Town of Addison should pay for this advertising, and Optical Shop and Ttends should have review rights for the advertisement. As we discussed. the town has acquired the services of a public relations/advertising consultant. She is aware of your clients' concerns and is attempting to publicize the construction of the art project, as well as make the public aware that the businesses near the traffic circle are open and readily accessible, despite the inconvenience. Through this PR consultant, the town has already composed and distributed letters and flyers for the surrounding residents and merchants, including your clients. The town also handed out information concerning the art project during the annual "Octoberfest," which was attended by over 100,000 people. Furthermore, the town has created a media packel that will be sent to media outlets upon the date of first closure. This packet wi!! contain a general aunouncement, as well as detailed information concerning the street closures, which should directly benefit your clients. 4. With a full closure or partial, there should be signage on Beltliue (same location as banners used for the special eveuts). The banner could read: Check out the newest Addison addition ...sculpture aud visit Trends and the Optical Shop whUe there... Sign age to remain up from date of closing to two weeks after the streets are open. Trends/Optical Shop should approve the slgnage.

Anderson October 6, 1999 Page 3 6. With tbe full closure or partial, additionlll sign age 011 Keller Springs, Trinity Mills and Addison Road should be installed to be approved by Trellds and Optical Shop. The town has considered this suggestion, but believes these signs would be too far from the construction site to be instructive or helpful. However, the town remains open to your clients' further suggestions. 7. Our clients prefer valet parking rather than a porter if the street closure cannot be changed. "Valet parking available" should be noted on aU signage. At the request of your client, the town has hired the services of a professional valet parking company. A valet parkillg attendant will be placed on the north and south side of the circle to assist people in parking their vehicles While accessing local merchants. This valet service will be in operation starting Monday, October 11, 1999 to November 19, 1999 during weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Valet parking will be available during these dates regardless of any traffic closures at no cost to the merchants or customers. Signs will be placed along Quorum Drive to identify that this service is available. 8. Proposed signage needs a better design and the typefaces sbould reflect the different vendor styles. The town has acquired eight additional signs with larger text to describe how to access each business at the circle. These signs will be strategically placed around the Addison Circle development. 9. The "No Parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m." signage on Quorum promised September 9 should be installed and enforced. Pursuant to your clients' requests, this has already been done. The signs are installed and will be enforced. 10. The Towll sbould provide adequate signage direeting clients to the garages. The signage today is not effective. The town has worked with Post Properties to improve this situation at the request of the businesses at the circle. On September 14, 1999, the town approved by meritorious exception to allow Post to place additional signs describing access to the parking garages in the public rightof-way. 11. We would request that the Town pay for lost income due to traffic Ilot being able to drive by, pull up or see the store. People will avoid the area dDe to the construction, lilld it will damage business during and after the eonstruction. III that regard, we would OCT. 6.1999 9:40AM COWLES &THOMPSON 214 672 2020 NO. 8309 P. 5/5 Mr. Arthur J. Anderson October 6, 1999 Page 4 request that the Town prepay tenant rent and electricity September through December as partial c:ompensatioD. Furthermore, our clients request that their attorney's fees be paid by the Town. Ai; we have discussed in previous correspondence, your clients are not legally entitled to compensation by the town for any alleged lost income. In conclusion, the town believes the construction of this piece of art will ultimately benefit surrounding residents and merchants, including your clients. I hope this letter will be of Bome assistance to you and your clients. Let me know if you have any further suggestions or questions.
