July 17, 2012 Mark Wolfe Executive Director Texas Historical Commission P.O. Box 12276 Austin, Texas 78711 RE: Request for Initiation of SHPO Consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 for the Area Rapid Transit Cotton Belt Regional Rail,,, and Tarrant Counties, Texas. Dear Mr. Wolfe: URS Corporation (URS) is providing support to Area Rapid Transit (DART) to develop preliminary engineering and environmental documentation. The project consists of approximately a 26 mile section of track running in a northeasterly direction from north of /Fort Worth International Airport (DFW Airport) to central Plano. It passes through Tarrant,, and counties and includes the cities of Grapevine, Coppell, Carrollton, Addison,, Richardson, and Plano (see Cotton Belt Regional Rail Corridor, Project Location: Map Page 1 and 2). DART is taking a lead role and has contracted with URS for engineering and environmental tasks. DART is proposing to advance the project with a Local Environmental Assessment (EA) under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) procedures and fulfill requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq., as amended). This letter is intended as coordination on the project for the Texas Historical Commission (THC), a request for establishment of proposed areas of potential effect (APE), and survey methodology for historic resources. The Cotton Belt Regional Rail alignment is designed as double tracking within the existing single track corridor. The alignment will have a 20 foot track center offset and a maximum design speed of 80 miles per hour with the majority of the horizontal alignment following closely to the existing freight track alignment. Lower design speeds were utilized in areas where existing constraints would not accommodate larger radius curves. The alignment alternatives will consist of at grade, retained earth, retained cut sections, tunnel sections, and aerial structures. The general vicinity of each station has been determined. However, it is undecided as to the type of design (i.e. Kiss and Ride, Park and Ride, Bus Lanes, etc.) for each station. This effort will be coordinated separately. URS Corporation 1950 N. Stemmons Freeway Suite 6000, Texas 75207 214-741-7777 214-741-9413 fax

July 17, 2012 Page 2 At this time, only 5% of the design is complete and has been submitted to DART and construction activities are anticipated to begin in 2016. The majority of the project area runs along existing tracks through commercial and industrial districts, as well as residential developments. The location of the project area is shown on Map Page 1 and 2. For your review, we have also enclosed a set of aerial maps with the proposed APE (Map Page 1 6). These maps do not illustrate previously recorded resources adjacent to or within the corridor. Description of Undertaking The URS design team divided the entire project corridor into three separate sections: Section 1 Section 1 begins on DFW Airport property, north of the central terminal area, and would connect with the proposed Fort Worth Transportation Authority (TEX Rail) route alignment on the Cotton Belt corridor. DART s Cotton Belt regional rail proceeds northeast and connects to the existing Cotton Belt freight track. It then heads east and crosses the Cottonwood Branch and its floodplain on aerial structure and continues under International Parkway, under Interstate Highway (IH) 635, and crosses Royal Lane and Freeport Parkway at grade. It continues east and crosses South Coppell Road at grade and is on an aerial structure over Grapevine Creek. It is on retained fill until it crosses South Denton Tap Road, where it is a grade separated aerial structure. The alignment then runs parallel to Belt Line Road and crosses Moore Road, Mockingbird Lane, MacArthur Boulevard, and Fairway Drive at grade. The profile gradually ascends on retained fill to aerial structure over two floodplain areas just west of the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River. Section 1 alignment then ends just before the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River. Section 1 has an additional alternative that deviates from the existing alignment in the vicinity of North Lake and the planned Cypress Waters mixed used development. The Cypress Waters alternative begins at South Coppell Road as a single track alignment on new location and veers to the southeast, generally following Southwestern Boulevard and relocated Belt Line Road. It is on aerial structure over Grapevine Creek and is grade separated at South Denton Tap Road with an aerial structure. The alignment then descends to at grade and turns northeast to rejoin the existing Cotton Belt alignment at Moore Road. Section 2 Section 2 begins on structure over the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River, it then continues to run just north of Belt Line Road and under the President George Bush Turnpike and crosses Luna Road at grade. The alignment continues east, crosses the Hutton Branch of the Trinity River, then travels under IH 35E aerial bridges as well as under the DART Green Line aerial bridges. In the downtown Carrollton area, the northbound track alignment will have a 33 foot track center offset from the southbound track alignment to accommodate a center loaded platform configuration at the Downtown Carrollton Station. The station at downtown Carrollton will serve as the interface location with the DART Green Line. The alignment continues east toward Addison crossing the intersecting streets at grade. The alignment offset varies between 20 and

July 17, 2012 Page 3 30 feet to eliminate impacts to existing storage tracks in the Addison industrial area. In Addison, the alignment is on aerial structure over Midway Road. The Section 2 alignment ends at the southbound frontage road of the North Tollway. Section 3 Section 3 begins just west of the North Tollway and remains grade separated over the main lanes. It continues as double track and the centerlines are set at 16 foot track centers. The alignment crosses Knoll Trail Drive at grade, crosses over White Rock Creek, and then traverses slightly to the northeast so the alignment does not impact the existing Preston Road bridge columns. At this point, three profile options will be considered through a 2.6 mile section between Preston Road and Meandering Way in the North area. At grade option: This option would operate at grade through North and would use bridges at the three creek crossings locally known as McKamy Branch, Osage Branch Crossing #1, and Osage Branch Crossing #2. The alignment would cross the roadways of Davenport Road (twice), Campbell Road, Hillcrest Road, McCallum Boulevard, and Meandering Way at grade. Shallow trench option: This option combines a maximum trench depth with walls and berms to maintain a top of wall 15 feet over the rail with the use of culverts instead of bridges at the creek crossings of McKamy Branch, Osage Branch Crossing #1, and Osage Branch Crossing #2. The roadways of Davenport Road (twice), Campbell Road, Hillcrest Road, McCallum Boulevard, and Meandering Way would be grade separated over the rail alignment. Tunnel option: This option proposes a 2.6 mile tunnel section that starts west of Preston Road and ends west of Coit Road. It includes a 0.7 mile west portal, a 0.3 mile east portal, and a 1.6 mile tunnel. The tunnel would be located entirely within a limestone rock formation. Generally, the tunnel runs parallel to and below an unnamed tributary to White Rock Creek, which splits into the McKamy Branch and the Osage Branch. The tunnel crosses under the creek three times at McKamy Branch, Osage Branch Crossing #1, and Osage Branch Crossing #2. The depth of overburden above the tunnel crown is between 20 and 40 feet. The shallow cover areas are near the portal structures and below the creek crossings. After passing through the North area where three options are being considered, the alignment would pass under grade separated Coit Road. The alignment continues east and would cross Waterview Parkway, KCS Railway, Synergy Park Boulevard, Renner Road, and Custer Parkway at grade. The track centers vary between 16 and 33 feet to allow the placement of the center platform station that is located between Waterview Parkway and KCS Railway. The final piece of the Section 3 alignment begins at Alma Road and currently has two alternatives. The existing alignment alternative simply follows the Cotton Belt track alignment, travels under the existing President George Bush Tollway Bridge, crosses over US 75, interfaces with the DART Red Line and travels east terminating near Shiloh Road. The south (Richardson) alternative deviates from the existing alignment and veers southerly away from the President George Bush Tollway, crosses the floodplain and US 75 on an aerial structure, then changes direction and travels north and parallel to the DART Red Line. Near 12 th Street, the alignment

July 17, 2012 Page 4 then takes a sharp right turn to rejoin the existing Cotton Belt alignment just east of the DART Red Line and travels east terminating near Shiloh Road. Background Information for Historic Resources The Texas Historic Sites Atlas (THSA) was consulted to determine if any NRHP listed or previously documented buildings, structures, objects, or state historic markers lie within or near the proposed study area. An area extending approximately one half mile from the center of the existing and proposed right of way (ROW) was investigated. Table 1 presents the results of this research. Table 1.

For areas requiring new ROW, the APE will be adjusted to 250 feet from the centerline. This APE will take into account potential physical and visual impacts that may result from the proposed undertaking. To date, the types of stations have not been determined. Therefore, it is recommended that coordination for the APE of the station locations be completed when engineering documents become available. It is recommended that a reconnaissance level survey of historic age resources within the proposed APE be performed for the Cotton Belt Regional Rail line. Per previous discussion with THC (personal communication between Linda Henderson and Erica Howard on March 18, 2011), URS recommends a survey of: all historic age resources that are at least 45 years from the let date of 2016 (construction date of 1968 or older); any civic buildings, projects, or structures, commercial, and institutional projects built in and before 1985; and

July 17, 2012 Page 6 any notable architect designed residences or neighborhoods; in lieu of documenting each individual tract house within a development, the development would be outlined and considered a district and given only one resource number. The reconnaissance survey will be performed by an architectural historian meeting the Secretary of Interior s qualifications. The resulting survey report will include, but is not limited to, the following information: Project description; Project area background and historic context, which may include research carried out at the following places: o local and county histories (obtained at the and Fort Worth public libraries, and municipal libraries in the project area); o,, and Tarrant County Appraisal District online records; o,, and Tarrant county plat records; o various internet resources; and o maps and aerial photographs (including USGS maps). Previously documented historic age resources within and immediately adjacent to the APE; Documentation of each historic age resource within the APE; including: o Address or location; o Historic and current name, if any; o Date of construction; o Style; o Historic and current use; o Property type and subtype; o Preliminary NRHP eligibility recommendations; o Condition; and o Digital photographs (minimum of two views) of each historic age resource. Summary and Recommendations. A draft report will be submitted to the THC for comment. Upon receipt of these comments, a final report will be drafted and sent to the THC. We are also recommending no reconnaissance level survey for station locations until the design of each station is determined. Station locations will then be surveyed as a future effort and will be coordinated with the THC. Request for Concurrence On behalf of DART, URS respectfully requests the concurrence of the THC regarding the recommendation of a historic age resource reconnaissance level survey, within a recommended APE of 175 feet from the centerline for existing ROW. For areas requiring new ROW, the APE will be adjusted to 250 feet from the centerline. In addition, URS requests station locations to be coordinated separately.

July 17, 2012 Page 7 If the proposed undertaking is altered such that the project has the potential to affect the adjacent historic age resources either physically, or by changing the setting in ways not covered by this coordination letter, DART will cease construction activities and not proceed with their undertaking until additional review and clearance by the THC has been completed.
