Re: August 26 Memo - Denton Tap Road Projects
Dear Russell:
The following information is submitted in response to your memo
dated August 26, 1988.
Enclosed are the R.O.W. maps prepared for the project. They show
that the R.O.W. varies at different locations and that the future
R.O.W. is 120 feet. We caution that these maps have not been
updated since the beginning of the project. There have been
minor changes.
The shaded area reflects temporary construction or slope
easements and the cross hatched area was obtained as permanent
easements.
Our staff has worked diligently with Joe Bob Fikes, explaining
the need for slope easements and future R.O.W. dedications. We
have not committed any figures relative to assessments because it
is premature. We have not worked up any figures regarding
assessments.
iwere told incorrectly that when the Bond program was passed,
essments would be $65.00 to $80.00 per foot. There has not
n any council action for the Denton Tap project regarding
essments.
.~h~ meetings held on February 16 and December 17, 1987 with the
d]acent landowners were for the review of the plans and for
iscussion of median openings and drive approaches, etc. We did
not discuss assessments at these meetings.
We are currently working to secure the last three temporary
construction easements. As soon as these are completed, we will
forward the entire package of easements to the City for permanent
records. We have filed, with the County, those that require
filing.

In closing, I would caution you and your staff not to discuss
assessments with any adjacent landowners because it is a very
sensitive issue.
s' soon as we work up the figures for assessments, we will
/present them to the City Council (via your office) for their
~ ~ consideration (December or Janua~). A public hearing will be
~ held (probablY-in February) at which time the property owners
~ will have ample opportunity to present their views on the matter.
We trust that this is the information that you need.
Sincerely,
cc: File 378, 379
