Dear Chuck:
I have reviewed your proposal for the access between the jud's Food Store property and
the W.A. Terrell Park parking area. I am not in favor of creating these proposed
openings to our site. This is due to the generation of additional traffic through the park
by this access.
Additional traffic in this park will create traffic hazards for the pedestrians going from
the parking area to the ballfields. Also,the expanded use of the parking area and drives
will impact the maintenance requirements for our facilities.
Please contact either Ric Ploeger or myself if you have questions regarding this matter.
Sincerry,

Re: Reciprocal Access Agreement Between Jud's Food Store and Wayne Smith Park
Dear Steve:
Enclosed with this letter please find the site plans for a proposed car wash at Jud's Food Store just
south of Wayne Smith Park. As we discussed this morning, I am requesting on behalf of my client
a reciprocal access agreement with the City to allow ingress and egress from the park to the
convenience store and vice versa. As patrons of the park might also want to use the convenience
store, it would allow easy access without requiring the traffic to first enter Wellborn or Holleman
before entering the convenience store property. Additionally, the access points would be directly
into the driveway of the park and not into a parking area. I believe that this is consistent with the
City's general desire to allow for cross access among adjoining property owners as opposed to
requiring traffic to enter public thoroughfares first.
After you have had an opportunity to look at this site plan, please feel free to contact me so that we
may discuss how to proceed with the reciprocal access agreement.
Very truly yours,
Charles A. Ellison
