RE: MacArthur Boulevard Extension
Some time during last year, the issue of the right-of-way for MacArthur Boulevard
extension was discussed during several meetings. Since you were in charge of
this project at that time, I will continue to refer all questions and concerns to
you, unless changes have taken place.
On February 4, 1988, preliminary plans for the MacArthur Boulevard extension
were submitted to my office for staff review, by Phil Deaton of Dannenbaum
Engineering. The memo attached hereto from Mr. Deaton, is in regards to the
acquisition of right-of-ways along MacArthur Boulevard (extension), and also
the need for additional slope easements and temporary construction easements.
I spoke with Kevin Peiffer, of Ginn, Inc., regarding this project, and he had not
yet received any plans for the extension. I have since then submitted a copy
of the plans to Ginn's office, as well as the Engineering and Public Works
departments for review.
Please inform me of the status of this project, and more specifically, if the
right-of-way dedication along MacArthur Boulevard (extension) has been secured
from affected property owners, so that I may contact Mr. Deaton regarding the
status of review time.

Attn: Ms. Taryon Bowman
Zoning Coordinator
Dear Ms. Bowman:
We herewith submit five (5) sets of preliminary plans for the extension of
MacArthur Boulevard from the DeForest Road intersection north across Denton
Creek to match the existing MacArthur Boulevard in the Vista Ridge
Development. South of Denton Creek, the preliminary plat reflects the
right-of-way as determined by Ginn, Inc. We understand that acquisition of
this land by the City of Coppell is currently underway. Please note that
additional slope easements and temporary construction easements will be
required. The right-of-way north of the creek owned by Vista Mortgage &
Realty, Inc., will be dedicated during the platting process.
We are also submitting a preliminary bridge layout for the Denton Creek
bridge, a proposed six-lane structure. In addition, we have furnished details
for architectural treatment consistent with the existing bridge structure at
the north end of the project.
Your review and comments regarding this proposed thoroughfare improvement
are greatly appreciated. We are available to meet with you, at your
convenience, to discuss this project.
Very truly yours,
DANNEN!~UM ENGINEERING CORPORATION
