Close and Abandon the 80' R.O.W presently serving as Belmont Street from Cedar Drive on . the east to the west side of the intersection of Birch Street with Belmont Strad. The dimension of this of this R.O.W is 80' wide X 330' long. We agree to put a cul de sac on the end of Belmont near Birch Street from the west. This cul de sac will be built in compliance with the Allen Fire Departments regulations (see attached drawing from the Allen Fire Department). We agree to provide two 24' fire lanes (fire lane access and utility easement) to serve buildings affected by this street closure. One fire lane will extend from Belmont Street south to McDermott. This 24' fire lane will run parallel to the First Baptist Church west most property line on lots 3 and I1 of Block 2 of Old Donation. The second one will extend from Belmont Street north to Main Street over Lots 11, 12, 15 and 16 of Block 3, of Old Donation. 2. Close and Abandon the R.O.W. which is presently platted as future potential Birch Street extending from Main Street north approximately 330'X 80' and culminating in a cul de sac just south of the Attic Storage property. See attachment, "Access and Abandonment Exhibit." 3. Close and abandon the 20' alley related to the Birch Strad Closure above. The alley runs east from Birch Street to Cedar. It is between Lots 1 B, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B of Block 15 on the south and lots 6, 7, and 8A of Block 15 to the north. First Baptist owns all of these lots. We do not own lots 4A, 5, 8B, 9A, 10A. The alley abandonment request is only for the portion related to First Baptist property. See attachment "Access and Abandonment Exhibit." We agree to provide a 24' fire lane (fire lane access and utility easement) running approximately 290' parallel to the east edge of First Baptist property, from Main Street to the north edge of First Baptist Property (does not include 40' of property which was the old Boyd Street R.O.W. owned by Stanley Crossman of Attic Storage). At this point, the fire lane will tum west and nm approximately 570' to Ash Drive over what was previously the south 40' of Boyd Street R.O.W. Other: We agree to sprinkle the 9000 s.f. Administration building which is presently the Allen Independent School District Administration Office, in lieu of providing fire lanes on a 58 car parking lot on the preliminary site plan south of the existing administration building. We will provide all fire lanes with appropriate properties per attachment received from the City of Allen Fire Marshall. We will place fire hydrants per code requirements. We agree to install the sewer manhole on Cedar Drive east of our Church Auditorium to serve the sewer connection to the Flower Shop fretting Main Street, per earlier requirements to close Birch Street between Main and Belmont. ely, 40 Chairman y L. Moore Chairman of the Building and Land Committee First Baptist Church of Allen 9 September 18, 1998 CITY OF ALLEN Jennifer Johnson 204 East Main Allen, TX 75002 Dear Mrs. Johnson: In response to you letter dated August 28, 1998, the following relocations, additions, or abandonments will need to be done to satisfy the Public Works Department. 1) As shown on Plan B, in order for Birch Drive and a portion of the alley to be abandoned, the sewer line will either need to be cut, abandoned, and a clean out installed in the alley on the First Baptist Church tract at Point 1, or a manhole will need to be built at Point 1 and the 6" sewer line will can remain in service. If the manhole is built, the City will be responsible for maintenance of the sewer line starting at this new manhole. 2) As shown in Plan B, in order for the eastern half of Belmont to be abandon, the existing 8" water line will need to be cut at Point 2 and Point 3. The fire hydrant at Cedar and Belmont will remain in service. All water services to the First Baptist Church and Allen I.S.D. buildings will need to be relocated to the water line remaining in service. These requirements are the minimum requirements necessary for the proposed right of way abandonments. At the time of site review, replat, or building permit application, additional fire line loops maybe required as need by the Fire Marshall. If you have any questions, please contact me at 727-0166.

The closing of Belmont Street will necessitate the relocation of an existing overhead line on church property in a 10' wide strip easement. A 4" gas main, which is currently in the south right of way will need to be relocated to Ash Street.. All gas and electric facilities on Birch Street may be removed, provided a new gas main is installed along the west right of way of Ash Street. Again, in closing, If all of the above is agreeable with First Baptist Church, TUEledric & Lone Star Gas will relocate all facilities at the church's cost and will not need the City of Allen's existing right of ways.

TC 1 September 01, 1998 Ms. Jennifer Johnson First Baptist Church Allen, Texas 75002 Re: First Baptist Church Proposed Street and Alley Closing Dear Ms. Johnson: The cable facilities located on Birch Drive can be removed at little cost to TCICablevision and will require a notice of about two weeks to complete the task. The facilities located along the right of way on Belmont Drive however, consist of a fiber optic cable and several coaxial cables that are crucial to operation. These facilities are costly and time consuming to relocate and/or bury. The possible alternate routes will require underground work as well as a railroad crossing. The poles are property of other utilities and in the event of them • relocating facilities TCI Cablevision will have to relocate as well. The time frame for such a project could possibly take up to three or more months. I have enclosed my business card and will be available for any further assistance you may need.

The cables on Belmont can not be removed or relocated until the Allen ISD moves from their quarters. Once service is no longer needed by AISD, the cables on Belmont could be removed by bringing an alternate feed from Main Street down Ash to Belmont. The buried cable on Birch could be abandoned once cables are routed from Birch and Main west to Ash then north for 300 feet and from Birch and Main east to Cedar the north 300 feet. We request that a utility easement be maintained where our present facilities are on Belmont and Birch until they have been relocated. The approximate cost for First Baptist Church would be between $16,000 and $19,000. The work could be completed in 60.90 days. Please call me at 975-569-4756 if you need additional information or when you are ready for x to begin the relocation process.
