Landscape Improvements - Woodridge Heights and Woodridge Heights 2nd
Additions - Project No. 97-5
SITE GRADING
Over the course of site grading it was found that earthwork quantities were significantly ofLTh
project generated approximately 20,000 cubic yards of excess material all the site. The
combination of revising lot elevations as well as exporting the .materialfrorn the site, the
developer has disposed of all of the excess.material. At the time ()fconstructionstaff felt that th
revisions to the grading plan were not significant enough to halt construction and bring the
revised plans back to the City Council for approval. ' All the grading work has been completed p r
the revised plan and all disturbed areas re-seeded. Most of the grading changes occUrred betwe n
Manchester Drive and Briarwood Court and adjacent ~oHighgateCircle~ .Since the approved .
grading plan has now been revised it is appropriate to request the City Council approve the
revised grading plan and amend the development contract accordingly.
It is therefore recommended that the Chy Council' approvedthti revised grading and. erosion
control plan dated July 15, 1997, revised October 21, 1997, prepared by Westwood Professional
Services, Inc. conditioned upon the developer executing Addendum A to the development
contract for W oodridge Heights and pay the Chy an administration and recording fee of $300.

Centex has completed grading operations on the above referenced site. We anticipate that seeding and
mulching will be complete today. As delivered to you approximately 10 days ago (10 sets), we
anticipate that the revised grading plan will be put on the Council agenda for approval at the next

RE: Woodridge Heights
Dear Bob:
The Development Contract for Woodridge Heights and Woodridge Heights 2nd Addition required the
landscaping along Lake Lucy Road and Galpin Boulevard to be installed within 45 days after the
completion of the small utilities. The small utilities were completed on September 15th for a landscaping
completion deadline of November 1st.
Due to the excess of material generated during the grading of the site and the late installation of the small
utilities, I am requesting that the landscaping deadline be extended until June 15, 1998. Our landscaper
will make every attempt to install the deciduous plant material this fall after the trail is completed, but they
do not recommend installing coniferous trees after October 15th.
Ifthis extension is acceptable to you, please forward a letter authorizing the extension to my attention.
Please feel free to call me.
