RE: Coppell High School
Dear Mr. Trando:
This letter is to serve as confirmation to you and the Council that the Coppell
Independent School District fully intends to address the concerns expressed by
the Council at their last meeting regarding our new High School site. Meetings
between the School District and Univest have been held and Univest has expressed
their willingness to provide the District with an easement to allow a~ ex--ion
of Parkway Blvd. and an access road to the school site, prior to the completion
of the new High School building.
Please accept this letter as the School District's commitment to do the
following in answer to the Council's concerns:
Construct the required portion of Parkway Blvd. to provide
access to the school site prior to the opening of school
in the Fall of 1~87, on an easement provided by Univest.
The District will convey the storm water along the school's
east boundary line from the south end of our property to
the north end, in a buried ~ulvert system. This culvert
will be constructed on School District property and will
have the necessary out-fall treatment at the north property
line to prevent erosion.
The school driveway configurations have been modified on
the revised preliminary plat to prevent intermingling of
school traffic with Willow Lane or other residential
streets to the south of the property. Only a fire access
pavement section has been provided from the school service
drive to Willow Lane, in accordance with the requirements
of the Fire Chief. This driveway will have a permanent
locked gate with the only key being issued to the Fire
Department. Attached please find a letter from Chief
Mayfield indicating his acceptance of this procedure. As
you can see from the preliminary plat, all schc~)i traffic
will
will
to the school's property line.

In addition to the easements for Parkway Blvd. and the
school site access road, Univest and C.I.S.D. have agreed
on the concept for the granting of additional easements.
These include easements for the out-fall of the box culvert
along the east property line and a buried storm drai'nage
pipe at midpoint of the north property line that continues
to Cottonwood Creek.
School District has employed the services of Barton &
Ashman, traffic consultant, to prepare a traffic study in
accordance with the City's consulting engineer's require-
ments. This study is now underway and will be available
shortly. A copy of this agreement is also attached.
I trust this letter will serve to show the School District's willingness to
work with the City of Coppell. We look forward to the successful completion
of this project, which will provide a facility that the entire community can
be proud of.
Very truly yours,
David P. Stanfield
Superintendent of Schools
