Attachment A David Bisett P.o. Box 706 Wimberley, TX 78676 (512) 847-3779 cas inada@wirnberley-tx.com April I, 200 1 Ms. Laurie Anderson Director of Engineering City of San Marcos 630 East Hopkins Street San Marcos, Texas 78666 RE: Cottonwood Creek Sewer Project and Clovis Barker Road Reconstruction Right-of-Way Acquisition Dear Ms. Anderson: I have reviewed the above referenced city projects. Both projects require landowners to grant rights to the city of San Marcos for sewer, road and/or drainage improvements. Pursuant to your request, please accept this letter as a description of the scope of work the projects require relative to acquisition. Introduction COTIONWOOD CREEK SEWER PROJECT The project, once constructed will provide significant city sewer service to properties within the Cottonwood Creek area between the intersections of Cottonwood Creek and 135 and State Highway 123. This area is under intense development pressure including potential light industrial, multi-family and commercial uses. I have reviewed the project status with you, examined your land files and visited with Collette Duran with the City of San Marcos (CSM) and Kyle Smith at Byrne & Associates concerning their previous work on this project. Approximately fifteen (IS) separate properties have been identified as within and along the proposed pipeline route. CSM has asked for assistance: determining the title ownership of properties along the proposed route; updating existing title, acquiring of Right of Entry permits and easement agreements from landowners granting rights to CSM for the installation and maintenance of the proposed sewer pipelines. As we have discussed, I have previously negotiated easements for a water line with aU but a couple of the project landowners for the Hays Energy power plant a couple years ago. Landowners, it can be assumed will have issues regarding routing, capacity guarantees and other sensitive matters. While this project clearly offers an important improvement to the value of the properties and the potential uses the properties may support, the negotiations are anticipated to be potentially complex with some landowners. CWVIS BARKER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The proposed road improvement upon completion will include a widening of the subject roadway to five (5) lanes. This area is currently being developed for COOllllercial and light industrial use. The roadway improvement project appears to be a significant fact<X' toward providing necessary services to supp<w1 the current rapid development. I have reviewed the status of this project with Mr. James Klein of your ofike.
