August 16, 1999
RE: SH/26/Pool Road Addition by Greenway Investment Company
Members of the Grapevine City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission:
I understand the planned shopping center at Pool Road and Highway 26 will come up for
action on August 17th. I wish to express my support for that project and hope you will also.
I am aware of the changes made to improve the commercial center and help it be a better
neighbor. In my view, the developer has met the City's development guidelines, addressed
the comments of the neighborhood and worked out traffic concerns around the site.
I am pleased that an agreeable traffic solution could be worked out befinreen the developer,
the City, and the GCISD. I am also pleased that this developer has agreed to make traffic
improvements to the Pool and Hwy. 26 intersection. While I believe the commercial center
will bring new traffic to the intersection, it is clear the developer is helping to solve a traffic
situation that largely pre-dates his development.
�
This is a fine example of how we have always gotten things done in Grapevine - by working
together. Let's approve the proposal by the Greenway Investment Company, and let's not ��
forget the alternative.
The developer, or any other, can develop a lesser commercial product on this site without
obtaining the special approvals, or offering the enhancements now available.
I appreciate your hard work you have all put into this project.

08/17/99
My name is Steve Barnes, my wife Kelly and I have lived in Grapevine for the last 7 years.
We have been very happy and excited with the improvements and for the most part the
growth of our city. We are currently living off of Mustang and Tanglewood Road a few
„ blocks from the high school. We have heard and anticipated that an Albertsons grocery
store is coming to Hwy 26 and Pool Road. We have also heard that there is some
opposition to this expansion. My wife and I would like the council to know that we are for
and support the addition of an Albertsons store to our community.
