Re: Denton Tap Construction Easement
7 1988
Dear Mr. Hinckley:
Reference is made to our letter dated August 25, 1988 and
subsequent meetings regarding the temporary construction easement
along Denton Tap Road. We offer the following in addition to our
letter.
It appears that the high school platted a 24' wide strip from the
high school property to Denton Tap Road (referred to as Mills
Lane). It also appears that this strip is not dedicated as
public R.O.W. Mr. Jerry Parche (ABQ Engineers) is sending us the
boundary verification survey that establishes the south boundary
/of ABQ property (north boundary of 24' Mills Lane). Upon
receipt, we will survey the 24' strip to its intersection with
Denton Tap Road. Thi~~ill establish where the median opening
will be located. We~~_will have the contractor conStruct_q~he
median opening cent~l~~U-~-n the existing 24~ Mii±s Lane. This
will accomplish the immediate need regarding the temporary
construction easement.
~~Jerry Parche is going to discuss the dedication of R.O.W. with
~.~ ABQ. After they have had time to consider it, we will suggest a
W~"' ~-~eeting with you, Dr. Stanfield, ABQ, and the other property
~ners to resolve any potential conflicts.
If the entire R.O.W. is unobtainable at th~ time of platting your
property, we recognize that it may be necessary to construct one
half of a street to serve the high school and adjoining
properties until such time as the property on the north of Mills
Lane is platted and the a'dditional R.O.W. secured. We know of no
reason not to support a request for a variance if r~uired.
Paragraph 6 - Based on further discussion, the current
subdivision ordinances showing 50 feet in Figure 2 as the "A"
dimension would prevail.
Add Paragraph 10 - Fence. The fence is to be relocated prior to
the completion of the project to the future R.O.W. line.
We appreciate your willingness to allow the city to relocate the
fence and grant the'temporary construction easement.
17103 Prcston Road · Suitc I00 * I,B 118 ® Dallas, Texas 75248 · l'ho,~c 214/248-4900
It is our understanding that this fulfills your request and that
the temporary construction easement as granted is in effect.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerer,
H. Wayne Ginn, P.E.

Re:
Denton Tap Road Improvements from Sandy Lake Road to
Denton Creek, Coppell, Texas (J-379/260).
Dear Mr. Hinckley:
This letter is in response to the letter co-authored by yourself
and Mr. Joe C. Hinckley, dated June 30, 1988, which transmitted
the Temporary construction and Drainage Easements required for
the ~onstruc~ion of the abovementioned road improvements along
the ~ront of your property. Upon review of your letter, copy
attached hereto, ~e find that we cannot agree completely with,
nor do we have the authority to arant ~h~ cOhditions imposed b_~__
your letter. We will attempt to 6ommunicate our understanding of
the discussiOns of the two previous meetings referenced in your
letter on a point by point basis as follows:
1. The 70 foot wide median opening at Mills Lane is already
of the project and is centered on the existing
a
part
roadway. While our notes show no mention of a specific
R.O.W. width for Mills Lane, we must point out that both
the Comprehensive Plan and the Subdivision Ordinance of
the City of Coppell specify that the minimum R.O.W.
.--width for a 37 foot wide collector street shall be 60
feet. We do not have the authority to agr~ee to a 50
foot R.O.~. width and sugges~ that you 9ddress this--~
the time that your property is platted. ~A/~9~T~/~
Our minutes of the June 1, 1988 meeting indicate that
yoU were' told that the left turn lanes that you are
requesting can be built as a part of the Denton Tap Road
Improvements project only if you agree to pay for them
up front and the City Council approves addition of these
items to the project via change order.
2~ A storm sewer lateral stubout has been provided in front
~/of your property which will handle the storm water
~ ~~ runoff from your property. From th~ aerial topographic
~//~,/~ maps we currently have. of the area, it ~ppea~ ~a~.yo~r
~ property in its current undeveloped sta~e will ~raln ~o
~ the Storm sewer stubout provided.

The minutes of our June 1, 1988 meeting indicate the
following:
"Mike Allen asked if the City would consider a 10 foot
utility easement along the west side of Denton Tap Road
versus the dedication of 10 feet of future Right-Of-Way?
I replied that since the properties along the west side
of the road would have to extend both water and sewer
lines south from the Parkway Blvd. area up t~~&~~
..of~--th~.road to serve their properties, th~ City may~
<~onside~ the dedication of the necessar~
~&~~s at the time of platting in lieu of R.O.W. We
need the temporary construction easements now .in order
to work the slopes behind the proposed curb back to the
existing ground in cut and fill areas."
As discussed in the foregoing, the decision to allow the
dedication of the necessary utility easement in lieu of
additional permanent R.O.W. will be made by the City of
Coppell~at the tim~ of plattinq the Dro~. We do not
have the authority to approve your stipulations (or
grant a variance) regarding this on behalf of the City
· of Coppell. For the record we have no objection to an
easement in lieu of dedicated R.O.W.
We have considered this item and found that it is
neither practical nor desirable to narrow the median
width to 7 feet in order to save existing trees along
the frontage of your property. In order to do so would
require redesign of the project and delay the
construction which is already in progress, resulting in
a roadway with a lower vehicle volume carrying capacity
and reduced safety to the traveling public.
We do not have the authority to agree to the
construction of one half of Mills Lane on behalf of the
City of COppell. This is something that you will need
to discuss with the City of Coppell at the time of
platting your property. Please recognize that the
current City policy and the Subdivision Ordinance do not
allow half streets.
We do not fully understand your request to establish a
minimum distance of 125 feet between the Mills Lane
intersection and any curb cuts on the adjacent
properties. By this request are you requesting a
variance from the Subdivision Ordinance for your
property? Please clarify your request in this
particular matter.
Provisions for water and sanitary sewer service will be
the responsibility of the property owner. At the time
of platting the developer must extend the existing water
and sewer mains to and across his property via the
abovementioned utility easements or additional R.O.W. as
required in the Subdivision Ordinance. It is
anticipated that as properties develop along the west
side of Denton Tap Road, in the vicinity of your
property, both water and sanitary sewer will have to be
extended south from the Parkway Blvd. area.
It appears that we can accommodate your wishes
concerning the 5:1 slopes, but we cannot .cause a
concrete drive approach to be constructed where there
currently exists no drive. If however, there should be
an existing driveway at the time of paving, a driveway
approach would be constructed to serve it.
We have no objection to your wishes regarding that no
trees be cut or removed from your property without your
prior approval, based on the existing R.O.W. as it has
been found to exist by our surveyor.
We do not anticipate that any trees beyond the 10'
construction easement will be affected.
We feel that the above accurately represents the discussions held
in the two meetings we have had with you concerning this project.
If you disagree, or you feel that we have misunderstood you in
any way, please call me. We will hold on to the executed
easements pending a reply from you. Please respond as soon as
possible, since construction is underway and your property and
the Century Savings property immediately north of Mills Lane are
the only properties for which the easements have not been secured
for this project.
Sincerely,
· -1/,':~/. -
