Parcel 4 — Permanent Right -of -Way
Offer Letter /Letter of Permission
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Cooper:
The City of Coppell is in the process of finalizing the design for the reconstruction of
Deforest Road from MacArthur Boulevard to Windsor Estates. This project will consist
of removing the current asphalt roadway, constructing a 27 ft. wide concrete street with
improved drainage, constructing 5 ft. wide sidewalk along both sides of the street, and
installing traffic signals at the intersection of Deforest Road and MacArthur Boulevard.
The city is in the process of acquiring right -of -way and easements from seven (7) parcels
within the project limits. In order to construct the road, it is necessary to acquire the
portion of land along the southern frontage of your property labeled as Parcel four (4). I
am including a page from the design plans that shows your lot and the encroachment onto
your property that requires the right- of -way dedication.
According to the Dallas Central Appraisal District, the land is currently valued at $5.51
per square foot. The City of Coppell is offering $8,678.25 for the 1,575 square feet of
land. This letter constitutes an offer from the City of Coppell for the acquisition of right -
of -way as follows:
Parcel 4
Acquisition of permanent right -of -way at $5.51 /sq. ft. x 1,575 sq. ft. $8,678.25
The city is also requesting permission to enter your property for minimal construction
purposes. Work will consist of removing the existing pavement and 4:1 slope grading
necessary to tie the proposed finished ground elevation into the existing ground elevation.
Work on your property will not extend past a line 10 feet north of and parallel to the new
south property line, and your property will be restored back to its original condition to the
255 PARKWAY

maximum extent practicable. The contractor will not be allowed to access your property
for any purposes other than the pavement removal and slope grading.
Construction is anticipated to begin during the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2010, and the city
needs to acquire the right -of -way as soon as possible. If the above offer is acceptable,
please sign below and return the signed letter to this office. Once the letter is received,
the process for payment of the $8,678.25 can begin.
Enclosed with this Offer Letter /Letter of Permission are the right -of -way documents.
The Offer Letter /Letter of Permission will grant the city permission to acquire the portion
of land and to enter your property. The city respectfully requests your execution of the
documents. When the check is ready, we can arrange a mutually agreeable method to
exchange the documents and the check.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated and if you have any questions, please
contact George Marshall at 972 - 304 -3562, or me at the number below.
Sincerely, o
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
