RE: Belt Line Road Project ST 93-04
Dear Ms. Seidner:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our telephone conversation concerning thc need for the
City of Coppell to acquire the right from DART to perform sloping and placement of drainage
outfall pipes and brickpavers within the DART right-of-way. Easements needed from DART
begin slightly west of Mockingbird and continue to the east of MacArthur Blvd. on the north side
of Belt Line Road. With this letter I am providing: 1) Slope easement documents # 9-SE-l, 9-
SE-2, right-of-way deed parcel #13 ROW and slope easement 13-SE, along with an overall view
of all the right-of-way required for the construction of Belt Line Road. 2) Copies of the
preliminary construction plans from approximately Sta. 79+50 to approximately Sta. 123+50
dated June 1998 with the required easements from DART highlighted in yellow. 3) Copies of the
drainage plans along the same limits as the paving plans. One issue about the drainage plans that
I would like to point out is the various drainage pipe encroachments at approximately Sta.
92+00, 97+00, 103+50, 106+50, 112+50 and 120+00. 4) Cross-section information for Belt
Line Road from cross-section 78 +50 through 119+68. On the cross-sections, I have highlighted
the area of encroachmem into the DART right-of-way.
Dallas County has indicated that they will be in a position to put this project out to bid in
November 1999. Therefore, any assistance that can be provided in obtaining the right to slope
within the DART right-of-way, extend drainage systems within the DART fight-of-way and
construct the brickpavers at the northeast comer of Belt Line Road and MacArthur Blvd. within
the DART right-of-way would be greatly appreciated.
Once you or your staff have had the oppommity to review this information I would be more than
happy to provide any additional information. If you should have any questions at thi~ time please
feel free to contact me. If not I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Kenneth ~. '~ri~,
