Dear Ms. Robinson:
I apologize for the delay in getting you information on the status of the right-of-way. I had hoped by
this time that I would have received my appraisal on the Billingsley property. Even after several
conversations with our appraiser I still have not received the final report.
Based on our prior conversations, it is my understanding that the City of Coppell will be acquiring
Parcel 1-ROW, Parcel 3-ROW, Parcel 3-SE, Parcel 4-SE, Parcel 5-SE, Parcel 9-SE, Parcel 11-SE,
Parcel 12-SE, Parcel 12-DE Temporary, Parcel 13-SE and Parcel 13-ROW.
The following represents the status of that acquisition:
· Parcel 1-ROW fi.om the Riverside Church of Christ has been acquired.
Parcel 3-ROW & 3-SE information has been sent to the address for Cabot Industrial Properties
LP provided by Dallas County in Boston, Massachusetts. No response has been received from
that location. We have obtained the address of a local office for Cabot Industrial Properties and
are in the process of making contact with that office.
Parcel 4-SE information has been mailed to Kathy Ingle owner of Shake & Shingle. I have also
spoken with Ms. Ingle several times and she has stated that the slope easement should be no
problem. However, she has retained Hennessey Engineering to review the information.
Parcel 5-SE information has been sent to Bill Thompson. Currently, the property is before our
Development Review Committee for planning. Comments have been made that the slope
easement will be required during the platting process. This should go through the Planning and
Zoning and City Council process prior to the construction of the roadway.
Parcels 9-SE, 13-SE, 13-ROW are required from DART. I have provided the information to Jan
Seidner and have spoken with her. She has stated to me that she is reviewing the information and
has been in contact with the County. DART will make a determination about all the necessary
slope easements and right-of-way at one time concerning the project.
As previously stated, on Parcel #11-SE, 12-SE, and 12-DE Temporary contact has not been made
with Mr. Billingsley because the appraisal report has not yet been provided. Once I receive the
appraisal report it will be forwarded to Mr. Billingsley immediately and follow-up contact will be
made.
I am very comfortable with the ability to acquire the necessary slope easements and right-of-way
prior to beginning construction in the third quarter of year 2000, with the exception of the Billingsley
property. I will have a better understanding of my ability to acquire those parcels once I have
received the appraisal report and have had an opportunity to speak with Mr. Billingsley. As
previously stated, DART will make will make their final determination at one time for the entire
project.
Again, I apologize for the length of time to reply to you concerning the stares of the right-of-way. If
you should have any questions concerning these comments, please feel free to contact me at 304-
3686.
Sincerely
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
