RE: 4250 Patriot Drive, DFW Trade Center
Dear Ms. Evans:
This letter is written in response to your letter of November 21, 2000 concerning the
encroachment of sidewalks onto Patriot Drive dedicated public right-of-way. As I have stated in
our conversations, the sidewalk should be constructed within the Patriot Drive fight-of-way. Our
Subdivision Ordinance states that sidewalks shall be constructed one foot from the property line
within the street or thoroughfare right-of-way... (copy enclosed). Patriot Drive is a 41-foot
roadway located within a 60-foot right-of-way. This leaves approximately 9 1/2 foot behind the
back of the curb on boths sides of Patriot Drive. It is within that 9 1/2 foot that we require the
placement of sidewalks; again, according to our Subdivision Ordinance. Also, the construction
plans which we have for Patriot Drive show the placement of the sidewalk within that 9 1/2 foot
right-of-way behind the back of the curb.
I hope that this letter has adequately addressed your concern of the sidewalk along Patriot Drive
being located within the Patriot Drive right-of-way. If you should have any additional questions
please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M .
