Sight Distance'~spection/Denton Tap-
Belt Line from 1-635 to Denton Creek
In response to our field trip taken from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
Monday, November 27, 1989, below are listed the signs where we
observed sight distance obstructions (The evaluations were made
when we stopped where a reasonable and prudent driver would stop
coming out onto Denton Tap Road at each access point.). Please let
me know if you need any other information.
1. Northwest corner at Bethel School Road. Shadow Ridge
Estates monument sign should be removed.
2. Meadowcreek Office Building Drive- "State Farm Inc." sign
bottom should be raised up to current bottom elevation of
"Pattison" sign (Right-of-way line is four feet behind
the curb line for this item and numbers 3 and 4 directly
below.).
3. Veterinary Hospital sign between Remax and Coppell Hardware
needs to be moved back.
4. 500 Denton Tap/Denton Tap Office Plaza- Fir Tree in way.
Move bottom of sign up to current bottom elevation of
the "Travel King" sign.
5. Independent Bank should be moved back; obstructs Braewood
Drive traffic (R.O.W. line is 10 feet behind the curb line
in front of the bank).
6. Town Oaks Center monument sign to be moved back equal
distance to second tree.
Other locations that we will monitor from time to time or in
regard to development or C.I.P. construction will be the following~
1. Dal Tex south of Kentucky Fried Chicken stacks sod pallets
along curb line that obstructs views from their driveway
that goes back to the old trailer park.
2. Airline Drive- Berm to north is questionable. Will be
reviewed during current construction drawing review
process.
3. Wrangler Drive (Old Cowboy Drive) Berm and traffic control
box to be reviewed with current development (minimal
obstruction).
4. Hackberry Road- Fence and bushes to the south along
the easterly right-of-way line of Belt Line Road
North/South. No obstruction now, but could be when foliage
on the bushes, etc.
5. Sanders Loop (South)- Fence to south could be problem if
vegetation grows along fence or if something is attached
to the fence.
6. North Lake Nursery- South and middle drives ok if nothing
is attached to the fence or no shrubs grow up along
it.
7. Meadowcreek- East bridge railing appears to obstruct view
to south when stopped at stop bar, Ginn Inc. is currently
reviewing this situation.
8. McDonalds/Kentucky Fried Chicken share drive. Sight
distance to traffic from left (southbound) could be
obstructed in the future by the foliage on the shrubs
as they grow on the McDonalds' berm.
As I understand, you will secure estimated costs for the moving of
the signs listed in the first list above numbered 1, Shadow Ridge
Estates through 7, Town Oaks Center. Then it will be determined
whether those signs listed will be moved back or not.
Please let me know if you need any other assistance or information
on this matter. Thank you.
