RE: Grapevine Creek Sewer Main - Permanent Easement
Dear Ms. Vesey:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our September 8, 1992 phone conversation in which you
requested additional information. Transmitted with this letter, please find a copy of the location
of the sanitary sewer line on the west side of Denton Tap Road (east side of your property) from
the existing sewer line near Grapevine Creek down to Bethel Road. Also, please find a copy
of a vicinity map showing the general boundaries of this property and a copy of the sheets
showing the sewer line in Bethel Road along the south side of the property.
It is my understanding that one of the major concerns was how the installation of the sewer line
along the east side of the property would affect the future development of the property. As I
stated, the easement would fall within a required building setback line. Therefore, it would in
no way restrict any future buildings on the property. You also questioned the upside and the
downside of the installation of the sewer line. As I stated, our current sewer line is near
capacity, therefore, the City of Coppell is starting to seriously evaluate each and every
development that comes on-line that will discharge into the sewer line. The property in question
is approximately 20 acres, according to information you provided during our phone
conversation. Depending on how the property developes, the City could have concerns on
whether or not the existing sewer system is adequate.
The City is trying to accomplish the construction of a portion of our sewer master plan,
thereby, creating capacity for a large part of southwest Coppell. This property would discharge
into the improved sewer system. The increased capacity for development is obviously an
advantage. It directly affects this property in that it allows it to develop without an evaluation
on whether or not the current system is adequate to handle the increase in flow. Also, by
allowing southwest Coppell to develop, it frees up a substantial amount of land for development,
which in turn, creates an increased tax base, which could have a direct affect on the tax rate the
City has to establish in order to maintain services to the citizens of Coppell.

You also questioned the downside of the sewer line installation on the property. Quite honestly,
I cannot determine a downside to the construction of this sewer line on this property.
Obviously, during construction, there will be a trench constructed in the sanitary sewer easement
to install the sewer line and the existing terrain will be disturbed. However, after the sewer line
is constructed, the land will be returned to as good or better condition than before. As good or
better condition is typically when the property owner says we have met their perception of" as
good or better".
I stated during our phone conversation that the City was not requesting a temporary construction
easement to parallel the sanitary sewer easement. It is our hope that the contractor can
maneuver utilizing a portion of Denton Tap for this construction. However, it is quite possible,
that whomever gets the low bid on the project may contact the property owner to try to work
out their own deal for the acquisition of a temporary construction easement.
The project is scheduled to bid on September 29, 1992. Therefore, it is crucial that the City be
able to obtain the necessary easements as soon as possible. This is a very lengthy project
stretching from Southwestern Blvd. all the way to MacArthur Blvd. The City anticipates it will
take about 450 calendar days to completethe project. Based on some preliminary conversations
with various contractors who may be bidding on the project, it is anticipated that they will start
at the downstream end near MacArthur and work upstream. It's quite possible it will be over
a year before the contractor gets to this particular site.
I hope you found this information helpful and if you should need any additional information or
have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
City Engineer
