Re:
Belt Line Road Project 490-402 and 403
(MacArthur Boulevard to I.H. 35E)
Dear Mr. Lemke:
As discussed with you by telephone on July 31, 1989, we have
reviewed the construction plans for Valley Ranch Center (DAI Job
No. 88047-02) for possible conflicts with the referenced
projects. There does not appear to be any conflicts.
Coordination of construction is required on several items.
These items are as follows:
1. The driveway approaches at Belt Line Centerline Stations
63+72.16 and 65+00.19 will be constructed by others after
completion of the east bound lanes. Access is not required
at these locations during construction. The County will
leave 18 inch blockouts for the future driveways at the
locations noted on Sheet 6 of the Valley Ranch Center. You
confirmed that the stationing shown is that of the Belt Line
Road project.
2. The driveway approaches at Belt Line Centerline Stations
66+92.11 and 68+36.03 will be constructed with temporary all
weather surface pavement by the Valley Ranch Center
contractor. These approaches should be constructed after
the box culvert storm drain along Belt Line Road is
complete. As discussed, the permanent approaches were not
included in the County's project. The driveway approaches
may be constructed with our project by one of the following
methods:
The City of Coppell requests the County to construct the
approaches and the City to fund the costs.
The Contractor for Valley Ranch Center constructs the
approaches concurrent with the paving operation.
The owner of Valley Ranch Center contracts with Austin
Paving, the County's Contractor, to construct the
approaches concurrent with the paving operation.

During the east bound lanes paving operation, it is advantageous
for all parties that one driveway approach be closed. A leave
out in the main lanes would be provided at the other driveway to
maintain access. As soon as the curing time for the main lanes
in this area is complete and the approach is constructed,
traffic will be switched and then the main lanes will be
completed at the leave out location.
3. Line 'A' of the Valley Ranch Center is designed to connect
to a stub out from the Belt Line Road storm drainage system.
It is suggested that the Valley Ranch Center Contractor
schedule installation of Line 'A' concurrent with the
County's work. Contact Mr. Les Foster of Austin Paving at
951-9525 for their schedule.
4. The temporary 18 inch R.C.P. at the southeast corner of the
Valley Ranch Center is no longer necessary since the 10 foot
by 6 foot box culvert has been installed.
5. The curb return stations for the driveway approaches revised
to match Sheet 6 of the'Valley Ranch Center plans are as
follows:
Station 62+90.27
63+61.16
64+66.40
65+36.40
66+53.93
67+23.93
67+94.81
68+64.81
Sheets GP-1, GP-2 and GP-3 of the Belt Line Road plans will be
revised accordingly.
6. Please note that the construction of the 4 foot sidewalk
along Belt Line Road should be delayed until the paving and
backfill operations are completed. This will minimize the
possibility of damaging the sidewalk.
Should you have any questions regarding the above items, please
contact me.
Sincere~
