Dear Mr. Harrell: ~,,
We are pleased to inform you the Texas Transportation Commission
has approved the subject project for development. From meetings
with your staff it i's our understanding that the City of Denton is
to be the local public agency providing local funding for the
project within the city limits of Denton. The project is listed in
the 1994 Projec.t Development Plan under National Highway System,
Mobility Projects and has a Level of Authority sufficient to
proceed to right of way acquisition.
Under our alternate procedure for right of way a~quisition as
discussed with your staff, the Texas Department of Transportation
will handle the acquisition of all right of way provided the City
of Denton will advance to this Department a sum equaling 10% of the
estimated cost prior to the initiation of acquisition. Based on
the requirements for additional right of way shown on the attached
maps,, we estimate the total cost of right of way and eligible
utility adjustments for the portion of the project within the City
of Denton will be $745,000.00. T~he Texas Department of
Transportation will. begin work on the project as soon as the City
executes the enclosed Agreement to Contribute Funds (City Form),
remits a check to us in the amount of $74,500.00 to cover the
City's 10% share,, and final approval is received from our
administration in Austin.
It is requested that (3) copies of the Agreement, each with
original signatures, be returned, to us together with the City's
check for the above amount payable to "Texas Department of
TransPortation". Add'itignally, a grant of signature authority for
the person executing the Agreement is requested.

You are reminded that in the event the right of way costs should
exceed the stated amount, we will require the City to pay its 10%
share of! any additional amount. Likewise, in the event these costs
are less than the estimated amount, the Texas Department of
Transportation will refund the city's 10% share of the difference.
Please contact Harlan E. Moore at (214)320-6267 if there are
questions or if we may be of further assistance.
