Re:
Speed Letter Dated 10/2/88 regarding
Belt Line Road (CIP) - Dairy Queen
1988
Dear Russell:
We have reviewed the above referenced subject as a result of the
inquiry made to you from a Mr. Hopkins.
We are correct in stating, as we have previously, that the owner
of record was fully informed prior to construction ever starting,
via the property owners meeting and numerous meetings with
myself, Wayne Ginn, Mr. Alan Ratliff, and the City Council. The
subject, in general, was always the same, that being the Dairy
Queen's desire to have a median opening for their drive
immediately north of the Belt Line/Denton Tap intersection. That
request was never granted due to public safety.
In reviewing your inquiry into this matter further with the City
of Coppell Tax Department yesterday, I believe I can clarify some
of the confusion.
With all due respect to Mr. Hopkins, his name does not appear as
the owner of record for the subject tract per the City of Coppell
Tax Department. The owner of record is Dairy Queen Stores, Inc.,
P.O. Box 540817, Dallas, TX 75354. Per Debbie Birdsall, the
City gets their ownership information from the Dallas County
Appraisal District (DCAD) and they get their information from
Dallas County Deed Records (DCDR).
Our normal process on a CIP project is to go to the City's tax
records and pull the names and addresses of all property owners
of record from the tax roll so that the appropriate people can be
notified for a property owners meeting to discuss a project. We
also, for surveying purposes, research the deed records at Dallas
County for property metes and bounds descriptions, etc. to help
establish the existing right-of-way.

As a result of the efforts in this particular case, Mr. Jim Neese
of Dairy Queen Investments and Mr. Marshal Dozier, operator of
the Dairy Queen, were contacted and fully informed from the
outset. We have had, throughout the duration of this project, a
good working relationship with these individuals. They have
cooperated with us during the construction period and provided
helpful input as to how their specific needs could be
accommodated (ie., driveway location in relation to the drive
thru, etc.).
We hope this information accommodates your needs. The City has
copies on file of all our correspondence with the Dairy Queen and
Mr. Dozier
Please call if you have any further questions.
