Re:
Denton Tap Road Improvements from Belt Line Road to Sandy
Lake Road - Mr. Joe Bob Fikes
Dear Mr. Doyle:
As per our conversations of Monday, April 10, 1989, and the
attached Rapid Letter, I spoke to Mr. Fikes on the telephone
Tuesday afternoon, April 11, 1989. With regard to his
disposition concerning the road construction 'adjacent to his
property, he is unwilling to change his position with respect t°
the temporary construction easement and matters in general, until
he has had the opportunity to sit down and discuss these issu~
personall~ with the. City~. We suggest that it' may be in
~h~ city's best interest for the City Manager to meet with Mr.
Fikes as soon as possible to attempt to resolve the temporary
construction easement issue, since the Contractor needs to be
working in the area in question very soon. If the Contractor is
unable to begin work in this area within the next week or so, his
progress on the project may be delayed. We will be happy to
attend this meeting if requested.
On Wednesday, April 12, 1989 I discussed the locatiDn and size of
the proposed driveway to serve Mr. Fikes' and Mr. Thompson's
properties with Peter Staks of Nathan D. Maier Consulting
Engineers. We are in agreement that the driveway needs to be
approximately 40 feet wide along Denton Tap Road and located
north of the common property line. Nathan D. Maier Consulting
Engineers will prepare a layout of the DroDosed new driveway and
submit it to you for consideration for inclusion in the Denton
Tap Road Improvements project. The proposed driveway layout will
shift the current location of the proposed median opening to the
north about 28 feet. This will require coordination with the
development of the Baptist Foundation of Texas property located
across Denton Tap Road from Mr. Fikes' and Mr. Thompson's
properties. We are attempting to contact Mr. Craig Knight of
Centre Development to get the coordination effort underway prior
to completion of their plans for the Springs of ~Coppell project.
We will keep you posted.
