Dear Taryon:
Enclosed are six prints of the Preliminary Plat of Heartz Road
from Sandy Lake Road to Parkway Boulevard and two prints each of
the Water and Sewer Plan, Drainage Plan, and the Conceptual
Landscape Plan showing proposed faciliti~~~z Road
Right-of-Way. Also enclosed is a copy 0~k~ ...... to Mr.
Jay Chester of ABQ Development Corporation dated November 17,
~9.~. ~.~.~,~e results of a study prepared by our firm of
,i~~~ .... ~. ....... in the platted section of Heartz Road.
An exhibit showing the sanitary sewer service area is attached
with the aforementioned letter report.
This letter and the enclosed drawings are submitted to the City
in response to comments on the original submittal that were
provided at the Development Review Committee meeti~
~ii!~~- Following is a summary of the major issues' ~n~
'~s
1. West half of the proposed Ri~ht-of-Way for 621 feet
north of Sandy Lake Road.
The ~en~erline of Heartz Road north o~ Sandy Lake Road
coincides with the east property line of the Town
Center Site. Survey studies have determined that a
strip of land of unknown ownership lies between the
Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II property and the Ruth
Perkins property north of Sandy Lake Road. This strip
of land constitutes most of the remainin~ 30 feet of
Ri~ht-of-Way required for Heartz Road in this area.
The balance of the eastern half of the Ri~h~_f-Way
between Sandy Lake and the ABQ propert~~'~'=-'~

ABQ Development has requested the Coppell office of
Ticor Title to research title to this strip of land
north of Sandy Lake Road ~/~ ..... 'ch current
ownership of the Perkins tract~ ~?~ 'i .
report received from Ticor Title is attached to this
letter.
ABQ Development and the Parks of Coppell Joint Venture
II (PCJV II) have committed financial resources to
construct Heartz Road ~ ~ .... ~ '
· ~~~~ii~~ ........ lnce only
~~'~'o~'e roadway Right-of-Way is located within
the ownership of either PCJV II or ABQ for 621 feet
north of Sandy Lake Road, and ~!i~ no legal
authorization has been secured t~truct any
improveme~~~.of.~_~ the limits of PCJV II
or
ABQ
property,~o construct only the west half of
Heartz Ro~_r~ted in this area. ABQ and PCJV II
~ ~will provide~ry sewer, water and storm drainage
"~facilities in the proposed half street section. In
addition, if either the property owner or the City of
Coppell will a~ree to pay for construction of the west
half of~ the roadway adjacent to the Perkins tract ABQ
~_ ......................... ~ to design the full roadway
section in this ar~V.~
2. 209 feet centerline radius south of Parkway Boulevard
Development Review Committee comments indicate that the
Subdivision Ordinance requires a minimum radius of 425
feet for any street within the City. This mi imum
~3~ .... ~- . ~er, have centerlines ~'-w~--~ mus
considerably less than 425 feet.
~'~ ~i~' ii ~is requested to permit a 209 foot centerline
~ Heartz Road south of Parkway Boulevard in
ord~~ the roadway centerline may coincide with the
property line between the PCJV II and ABQ properties.
Technical justification for this request is based on
the location of the radius in question and traffic flow
in the proposed intersection.
All traffic on proposed Heartz Road just south of
Parkway Boulevard will be in a "Stopping" or
"Acceleratin~ Condition". No through traffic will
occur since Heartz Road will not be continued north of
Parkway Boulevard. Therefore vehicle speed in the
proposed 209 foot radius curve should be substantially
Ms. Taryon Bowman December 1, 1988
JP No. 88009 Page 3 of 4
less than the design speed typically used for collector
or even local streets since the location of this curve
is at an intersection where traffic is required to come
to a complete stop or execute a 90 degree turn upon
entering or leaving the 209 foot radius curve.
3. Sanitary Sewer Capacity
We have prepared an analysis of the sanitary sewer
facilities in Heartz Road north of Sandy Lake Road in
the Right-of-Way being platted. A copy of our letter
report and exhibit showing the sanitary sewer service
area is enclosed.
The results of our study indicate that the capacity of
the existing eight-inch sanitary sewer from
approximately 1000 feet north of Sandy Lake Road to
Parkway Boulevard is deficient with a fully developed
service area. We have sized a parallel sewer pipe for
this area such that the total capacity of both pipes
exceeds the design loadings. Conceptual design of the
parallel sanitary sewer facilities has been added to
the Water and Sanitary Sewer Plan enclosed. Please
review this study and advise us whether the parallel
sewer facilities are acceptable as shown so that we may
proceed with the final design.
4. Water Main
Twelve-inch valves have been to the proposed
water main at 600 feet interv hydrants have
also been~at 300 foot maximum spacing.
Compliance with other comments regarding required easements,
construction details, brick pavers at Parkway Boulevard , etc.
will be addressed in preparation of the Final Plat and
construction plans. ~. ~. ...... ~ ~- ......................... - -T ~ i!
also be addressed in th~~g-~'"~-~S'~
I trust that the information presented herein satisfys the
concerns of the Development Review Committee and will permit the
Preliminary Plat approval process to proceed.
I~ is our understanding that this Preliminary Plat will be on the
Planning & Zoning Commission agenda on December 15, 1988.
