Airport Travel Dear Mr. Griffin: It is my understanding that a public hearing will be held on Monday, November 21, 1994, concerning the Addison Airport Tunnel. I wish to express the
concerns of METCO Environmental regarding the tunnel design and its effect on our company in particular. 1. I submitted a letter to your attention on February 15, 1993, and a response
was received from the Ginn Corporation indicating that a meeting would be held to discuss our concerns. As of November 7, 1994, the Ginn Corporation has never held that meeting. Copies
of both letters are attached. 2. No notification was sent to the property owners affected by the tunnel. Therefore, the public hearing needs to be reconvened after proper notification
has been sent to surrounding property owners. 3. METCO Environmental purchased the property at 16115 Dooley Road and built its corporate offices with the main consideration that the
company vehicles, visitors and employees would have access to a controlled intersection at Midway Road and Keller Springs. The tunnel plan eliminates any controlled access to Midway
Road for METCO Environmental. 4. The tunnel deSign will impose a hardship on companies and landowners along Dooley Road and Keller Springs by eliminating any controlled access to Midway
Road. P.O. Oox 598 Addison. IX 75001 RECEIVED(214) 9;)1·7127 'AX (214) 9;)1·8;)98 Field offIce: HOIJ5toi"'. rx (71;)) 869·7;)72 
Mr. James Griffin November 7, 1994 Page 2 5. A severe safety hazard will be created for METCO Environmental's employees and visitors, and for the drivers of METCO's five-ton vans and
cargo vans in attempting to cross Midway Road without the help of controlled access due to the elimination of access to Keller Springs. 6. METCO Environmental's property value will be
impacted due to the elimination of controlled access to Midway Road. 7. In regard to the To!1 Plaza location, it is the feeling-ffi-ME-TCO Environmental that eastbound traffic will backup
into Midway Road creating a traffic problem. The Toll Plaza needs to be moved further east on Keller Springs or relocated. 8. In addition, the tunnel entrance on the east side of the
airport needs to be moved east of Addison Road where traffic is lighter, rather than dumping the traffic onto Addison Road. In summary, both the Texas Turnpike Authority and the Ginn
Corporation have failed to respond to METCO Environmental's concerns. Sincerely, /MEG'ENVIR0N.jNTAL 􀁾􀁾􀀠mer Powell, P.H. . Manager, Human Resources EP/jr Attachments

Springs Underpass -Land Acquisition Dear Thomas: Thank you for taking time to meet with us and the Texas Turnpike Authority to discuss the Keller Springs Underpass project and our need
to utili2e airport property to make the project successful. Because of the limited access across the railroad spur south of the aiq,ort and the airport itself, east/west access through
Addison is becoming increasing congested. We see this project vital to community mobility and a way to provide improved access for the airport. this project will ease congestion on the
roadways leading to and around the airport. The Town is committed to making this project a success while maintaining our obligation to the FAA and upholding our grant assurances. Our
goal for the airport during and after this project is to not adversely impact the aviation activity at Addison Airport. We hope to accomplish this with open communication and participation
with the Texas Turnpike Authority, AATI, our tenants and the FAA. Specificaily we are planning the following: 1. We plan to replace the land used for the roadway that is no longer there
for specific aviation purposes with other parcels adjacent to the airport. This will be based on appraised value and the potential utilization of the acquired properties for aviation
purposes. 2. We will develop a replacement plan of airport facilities that will include a space inventory and identify any development needs. This will allow us to determine which facilities
will be relocated or reconstructed. We anticipate that all existing teoants will have comparable space. 3. We will develop an access plan for areas that are currently accessed from Keller
Springs. 4. Exhibit 'A' -Property map will be revised. 5. The Airport Layout Plan will be revised. 6. We will provide preliminary plans for review. 7. We understand an airspace study
is required for all non-shadowed construction equipment. 8. It is our intention to provide a subterranean easement for the actual tunnel portion of the project to the Texas Turnpike
Authority without any additional compensation. J.. 
Page Two October 13, 1994 Mr. Thomas Wade At this time the Texas Turnpike Authority desires to sell bonds in November and would like the FAA's support for the project and an indication
that you have reviewed the preliminary engineering report and based on our commitment, you find no permanent adverse impact to the airport or its mission. They are developing their package
for bond sale and hope for a written response from you by October 20, if possible. The letter should be addressed to: Mr. Jim Griffen Texas Turnpike Authority P.O. Box 190369 Dallas,

Whitehead City Manager Town of Addison Addison, TX 75001-0144 Dear Mr. Whitehead: The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study, No. 94-ASW-0177-NRA, of the
proposed Keller-Springs Tunnel under Addison as described in the Texas Turnpike Authority report dated September 1992. It was determined that the proposal would not be objectionable
from an airspace utilization standpoint. The addition of this item to the Airport Layout plan is approved. Based upon the Town's commitments in the October 13, 1994, letter to our office,
we believe the project is compatible with aviation and will enhance access to and utilization of the airport. As a result, we support the construction of the Keller-Springs Tunnel and
look forward to working with you to continue to improve Addison Airport. If you have any questions or we can be of further service, please contact me at (817) 222-5650. Sincerely, ORIGINAL

final engineering report to support a revenue bond sale to finance the Addison Airport Toll Tunnel (the "Tunnel "). The Tunnel wilJ fill the gap in Keller Springs between Midway Road
and Addison Road. Our Consulting Engineer, The Ginn Corporation, has developed a schematic plan of the project. We are enclosing three (3) prints each of plan sheets which are at a scale
of 1" = 100'. Your plant was not identified during our initial field investigations. We would like to review with you in the field the Addison utility plant on or adjacent to the job
site. In order for the existing utility locations to be as accurate as possible, we would appreciate your reviewing the plans and indicating thereon the position of the Addison plant
after our joint field review. Should your review indicate that the Addison plant will require adjustment or relocation to accommodate construction of the project, please show your proposed
adjustments on these prints. One set ofprints showing this information should then be returned for our review as soon as possible. For toll projects of this nature, the Texas Turnpike
Authority is obligated by law to reimburse the owners' affected utilities for any adjustments or relocations necessary to avoid conflict with the proposed construction. It will, therefore,
be helpful if you will prepare a cost estimate for ----------------_.....􀀭􀀭􀀭􀁾􀀠MilMBEI!S, UlTHElt G. JONES, JR., 0lAIRMAN, CORPUS CHR!STI • 􀁾􀁮􀁡􀀡􀁁􀁅􀁌􀀠Y. CHOU, VICE CHAIRMAN,

Public Works Re: Keller Springs Toll Tonnel This project was first conceivcd by the Town of Addison in the early 1980's as a means to provide improved east/west access in the northern
part oftbe community, Addison completed the first formal study detailing routing and cost in 1985, The results of this study made it clear that the project was very expensive and provided
a regional link between Coppell west of I35 through Carrollton, across Addison and thcn, east through North Dallas to Preston Road (SH 289), Addison then approached tbe Texas Turnpike
Authority and Dallas County to study the feasibility of making the proposed tunnel a toll facility, This study was fmalized in 1992 when it was determined that the Keller Springs tunnel
was a feasible toll facility, In 1991 with the support of Addison, Carrollton, Dallas and Dallas COMly, $3 million was included in the County Bond Program to assist with making this
project a reality, In addition, the City of Dallas reconstructed the portion of Kcller Springs between the North Dallas Tollway and Preston Road, Addison has plans to improve the western
leg of Keller Springs intersection with the Tollway in 1995; Carrollton has approved the funding necessary to make Keller Springs continuous through the Marsh Lane interscction, and
finally Coppell and Dallas County are reconstructing Sandy Lake Road west of I35, The current scbedule to implement the Tunnel improvements follows: October 1994 Conduct last public
hearing and address any outstanding environment issues, NovlDec 1994 Sell bonds. January 1995 Initiate design by HDR, March 1995 Start right-of-way acquisition, September 1995 -Complete
design, 
Page Two December 1995 Complete right-of-way acquisition. March 1996 Start construction. December 1997 Complete coustruction and open the tunnel. As with most project schedules, this
time line assumes that all of the affected entities (cities, county, FAA, AATI, etc.) will continue to support the project; the right-of-way acquisition proceeds relatively smoothly;
and the coustruction is not delayed because of changing field conditious. If you have any questious or need additional information, please call me. JRB/gmk

Jim: As I have previously written, the Town of Addison is very supportive of the proposed Addison Airport Toll Tunnel Project (the "Project") and wishes to do what it can to further
its construction. It is our understanding that the Authority proposes to finance the Project as an extension and enlargement to the Dallas North Tollway (the "Tollway") and that the
bonds to be issued for the Project will be on a parity with the other outstanding bonds of the Tollway and will be secured by a pledge of the net revenues of the Tollway. Accordingly,
the City Council has passed Resolution No. R94-027 expressing its willingness to enter into an interlocal financing contract with the Texas Turnpike Authority pursuant to Section 7 of
Article 6674v.1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, under which the Town would agree to make payments to the Authority, to the extent that the net revenues ofthe Tollway are insufficient,
in amounts sufficient to pay the debt service on $2,500,000 of the bonds issued by the Authority to finance the Project. The Town's debt service obligations under the contract would
be secured by the Town's covenant to levy and collect ad valorem taxes in amounts sufficient to pay the interest on such bonds and provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal
thereof to the extent that the net revenues of the Tollway are not sufficient for such purposes. The Town will not have any additional obligations with respect to the Project but will
do everything it can to assist the Authority in completing the financing and construction of the Project. Sincerely, 􀁋􀁟􀁾􀁯􀀺􀁃􀁕􀁲􀀺􀁄􀀠Ron Whitehead City Manager RW:mc Enclosure
