COMMENT STATUS: PRELIMINARY
1. There is a concern about the traffic impact that these developments may have on the
access road of S.H. 121 Bypass. Traffic signals may need to be provided to allo~v
vehicles to exit the subdivisions. In addition, a traffic impact analysis should be
provided to determine the impact on Denton Tap and MacArthur Blvd. by these
developments to determine if mitigation measures are required. (Note: A traffic
study has been provided and is currently being evaluated.)
Phase !
1. Information should be provided on the flood protection provided by the levee. The
Coppell Floodplain Ordinance requires that the height of the levee be based on the
standard project flood elevation, plus 3 feet of freeboard.
2. Any access to the state highway will also require TxDOT approval.

Preliminary Comments:
1. Permission will be required from Lone Star Gas to extend the street over their

Tract V
1. An)' access to the state highway will also require TxDOT approval.
2. More than likely any controlled access to this site will be at Highland Drive or S.H.
121. Therefore. the City requests that you limit your access from Denton Tap Road
and take all of your access off of High,ray Drive or S.H. 121. If you insist on access
off of Denton Tap then, at a minimum, a deceleration lane and possibly a common
access easement with the property to south will be required. No future median
opening will be allo~ved to serve this site.
