Re: Beltline Road Project # ST 93-04
County Project # 490-403.1/91-829
Dear Ms. Brim:
Enclosed with this letter is correspondence from TU Services and Henry Billingsley relating to
drainage issues associated with Belt Line Road. In both instances, the property owners have
concurred with the approach being proposed by the City and the County to design the drainage
associated with Belt Line Road from a realistic approach. I think that all parties involved agree
that the slight time delay in allowing the property owners to respond to the City will end up
being a tremendous benefit to not only the County, but to the City in the final construction cost
of this project.
The City looks forward to this project moving forward and sometime after the September 10
City Council meeting, the City would like to meet with the County to discuss the sequencing of
Belt Line Road and Sandy Lake Road.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.

RE: Be!tline Road (ST 93-04)
Dear Mr. Billingsley,
Recently, the City of Coppell met with representatives of Dallas County concerning the design
of Beltline Road from MacArthur to Denton Tap. One item we discussed was the drainage near
the intersection of MacArthur and Beltline Road generally located on your property south of
Beltline Road. Due to the elevation of your property it will be very difficult for the City to
accommodate what is shown as drainage area J5 on the enclosed sheet 2 of 2 from the Beltline
Road plans. The solution proposed by the consultants for Dallas County is to design the drainage
system in Beltline Road to receive the runoff from drainage area J5, at such time as J5 is
developed and the area is filled to allow for the removal from the floodplain. The flood plain
elevation in this area ranges from 446 to 448. The existing ground elevation ranges from about
441 to 445. Therefgre, some filling will be required to develop this property. Once the property
has been filled, it will be adequately high enough to drain into the system in Beltline. However,
during the interim period, the City would like permission to construct an earthen channel from
Beltline Road south across your property so that your property can drain until such time it is
developed.
If you need additional information concerning this issue, or if you would like to schedule a time
to sit down and discuss this in greater detail please feel tree to contact me at 304-3679.
Sincerely, f) ~ ~ Ag~~~~nnel

As we discussed please sign and return. This is a temporary situation until this property develops.
Thanks, ~.~

Dear Mr. Griffin:
This letter is in response to your letter dated May 15, 1996 to Robert Thompson regarding the
Beltline Road project. At the present time TU Electric does not have any plans for improvements
to its property that would alter drainage from its property. I would like to point out that there is
a possibility that something may need to be constructed in the future, but at the present time TU
Electric does not have any plans.
Sincerely,
