Dear Mr. Royal:
The Engineering and Planning Departments have reviewed your proposal to modify the sidewalk
connection from your parking lot to Heartz Road in association with your parking area expansion
project. The changes are acceptable as presented.
Combining the two sidewalk approaches to Heartz Road will direct pedestrian traffic to a single
crossing area in front of the main entrance to the chumh. It is our understanding that the slope of
the sidewalk from the parking area to the street will also be somewhat reduced. These
modifications may improve safety for those choosing to cross mid-block rather than utilizing the
intersection crosswalks at Heartz/Bethel School Road and Heartz/VanBebber Drive.
Please contact the Construction Inspector, Larry Davis, at 972-304-3684 prior to constructing the
changes. If you have any questions, you may contact the Engineering Department at 973-304-
3679.
Sinqerely,

New Parking Lot - NV~ Comer of Bethel School & Heartz
Dear Ken:
We respectfully request the following revisions to our sidewalks at the new parking lot for
the First United Methodist Church of Coppell.
ltem# 1:
Double walk fxom the parking lot east side going to Heartz and toward our
main sanctuary entrance. Reference 8-1/2" x 11" drawing attached, both
existing sheet 1 and proposed sheet 2. Basically we are keeping the same
concrete sidewalk layout that was existing to our prior grass parking lot.
However, our new layout would center the curb cut on Heartz, and allow for
only a 1.25' grade change from Heartz into the parking lot.
Item #2:
Our irrigation water meter along Bethel Road conflicts with the proposed
sidewalk layout. The existing meter sits outside of the R. OW. I have spoken
with Larry Davis on this and the Church requests we be allowed to swing our
sidewalk closer toward Bethel to miss the meter. We agree to move this meter
into the R.O.W. when we build the proposed Family Life Center, and realign
the sidewalk if so needed.
If approved, these will be incorporated into our As Builts to the City ficom Dowdy Anderson
Engineers. Thank you in advance for your review of these requests.
Sincerely,
Eric Royal
