MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
VIA: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
FROM: Keith R. Marvin, P. E., Project Engineer
DATE: April 28, 2009
REF: Consider approval of an agreement with Jalal Khorrami to acquire 0.026
acres of land, in order to expedite the Bethel Road improvements through
Old Town, and authorizing the City Manager to sign and execute any
necessary documents.
City staff has been working on the acquisition of Right -of -Way for the construction of Bethel
Road through Old Town for quite some time. The agreement before you this evening between
the City of Coppell and Jalal Khorrami is for the necessary Right -of -Way from the Coppell Deli
site. This parcel has been difficult due to the limited parking for the Deli, and the loss of parking
that this project represents. Patrons currently park in front of the Deli and when this project is
completed the curb and sidewalk will prevent on street parking in front of the Deli.
During the negotiations with Mr. Khorrami it became apparent that he was more concerned with
the loss of parking than with the value of the land we needed to acquire from him. This
agreement transfers ownership of 0.026 acres of land owned by Mr. Khorrami to the city for use
as Right -of -Way to build the roadway improvements. In exchange, the city will convey 0.031
acres of land adjacent to the Coppell Deli to Mr. Khorrami to maintain as parking. See the
attached exhibit for more information.
Approval of this agreement will allow us to continue with final design of this project. Staff
recommends approval and will be available to answer any questions.
