RE: Proposed ~oad Easement l~eqttested by Grand Hemes from ~'iilittm F. CMlejo
Dear Mr. Jelinek:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated September 16, 1997 regarding thc
right-of-way dedication requested by Grand Homes in connection with a development in the City
of Coppell, Texas.
Th~ City has r,~vicwed the proposed right-of-way dedication provided by facsimile
transmission dated September 16, 1997 and finds conditions 2 and 3 in their present form
unacceptable. Thc City Engineer advises that thc seven (7) year period required for completion
of construction of the expansion of Coppell Road is not practical but rather fii~..en (15) years
from the date of dedication is reasonable for thc completion of consLruction. In addition, the City
does not want to extinguish the future obligation of the Grantor to make further dedications of
additional right'Of-way in the event of a reversion.
The City will agree to extinguish any future obligation on thc part of thc Grantor to make
further dedications of additional rights-of-way for the land referred to in condition 3, provided
such land is described by metes and bounds description and abuts Copp~ll Road where at least
sixty feet (60') of fight-of-way exist as of the date of thc conveyance.

acceptance of this deed by Grantee shall extinguish any future obligation on the
pan of Grantor to make further dedications of additional rights-of-way for land
owned by Grantor abutting Coppell Road described as [insert legal description],
where at least sixty feet (60') of right-of-way exists along Copp~ll Road as of the
