Mr. Johnson, It was my p~~asure to have discussed with you and the
members of City Council my interest in provid,ing the services outl ined
below. I am famiUlar with the problems and the, process to date and
feel that th,~s Will enable my office to perform the task with essentially
all our time spentin productive efforts.
SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
As I understand the assignment, we will ,provide your office and
recommend to the City Council on ordiaanaceconcerning the development
of the perimeter properties fur townhouse or cluster development uses.
We will consider the recommendations if the Zoning and Planning
Commissions as a base butexpend the concerns into a development
policy statement.
The development, policy ordinance will consider many factors to
include:
1> Adjacent land uses on all sides
2) Protection of single family home uses
3) TraJficand Parking ,?,
4) Garbage and service access
5) Fire and poliql protection
6) Setback and easements
7) Height of construction
8) Direction on orientation of units
9) Materials for construction
10> Open space requirements
11> Development by lot or multiple lots
12) Views and privacy
To illustrate the use of the development p,qflicy ordinance we will provide
illustrated site plan drawings indicating approved development concepts
fur prototypicallofs and lotgroupings. \
To allow fur flexibility and uniqueness in design submissions over-time
we wifl recommend certain incentivealte'rnatives to the base recommendations.
These specific items will allow some deviation from the ordinance in
return for certain environmental or quality improvement.
LENGTH OF STUDY
It is our intention to initiate work immediately upon approval of this
proposal. A preliminary review-discussion meeting prior to the first
of August in requested to include Gene Hines and others from the Zoning
Commission as desired. A second review meeting is desired in mid-August

review by Council prior to the early September Council date.

for those staff members assigned to the study. These rates include
labor cost and overhead factor only with the profit factor omr\tted. Basic
reporduction costs will be included for copies oftherecommendations

Gentlemen:
Per your requestIsha.llattempt tose'tout the procedure SINGER-
Layne Texas Division intends to use in 'attempting to reline the
2011 casing in your exi,s.ting City Well No.5. '
From all indications there appears to be a break in the 20" cas-
ing at the depth of 400 to 450ft. 'The procedure to be used to
attempt to repair this condition is as follows:
1. A drilling rig shall be set up at the well site
including portable mud pits and made ready to
start repair operations.
2. We shall start circulating fluid and run (first)
one 18" o. D. bit to check if we can push out the
break in the 20" casing. If this can be done we
sha:].l run the 1811 bit to the top of the 12~3/4"
screen liner 1020 ft. and wash around the lap
" approximately 5 ft. We shall then run inside
the 20" casing with a 16" O.D. casing liner 0 ft.
to 1025 ft. welded in place oversetting - the
liner lap approximately 5 ft., the void between
the 16" and 20" shall be filled with a cement
mud slurry for sealing.
We shall then run a 10-3/411 bit in the l2~3/4" screen liner to
;bottom 1673 ft. cleaningoutal,l mud, sand and other matter. We
shall then wash and surge,by drill stem metho~ using cleaning
fluid, Laynite No. 7W.' The well shall then be pumped clean'ready
for permanent pump.
