"Plans adequate" for utility adjustments are
complete and TxDOT has sent these plans to the
utility companies.
TxDOT is waiting for the property owner of parcel
27 to provide the location of a drainage easement
across his property which will take water from
121 to Denton Creek. The property owner has agreed
tO donate the drainage easement as long as he gets
to decide its location on his property.
TxDOT and the City of Coppell are currently working
on an agreement which would allow TxDOT to
construct a permanent drainage structure along
Denton Tap Road which would be compatible with
Coppell's future Denton Tap Road construction.
Without the agreement, TxDOT would provide a
temporary system to transport drainage runoff from
S.H. 121 to Denton Creek along Denton Tap Road
which Coppell would replace with a permanent system
during their Denton Tap Road construction.
