The centerline of the proposed McNear Drive is at about Sta 11+72 of Coppell Road. The proposed curb
elevation at this point is 512.66. It looks like the proposed profile of McNear Dr is about 2.5' above this point.
Looking at their plans, it looks like they are filling where the road approaches Coppell Rd so that they match the
existing elevation and maintain a constant grade to the east end of their road.
After looking at both sets of plans, I may have figured something out. In our paving plans we were designing
around the three existing driveways between Sta 10+50 and 13+00. It looks like all of these are being removed
as part of the Old Coppell Townhomes development and being replaced by McNear Drive. I can adjust some of
the vertical alignment and drainage design to allow the road to be a little higher at the proposed intersection with
McNear Drive. I can raise the curb elevation of Coppell Rd to about 513.44. That still leaves a difference of
about 1.6' between the two roads. It's possible that a high point could be constructed in McNear Dr at about Sta
0+50 and then the road would slope down (about 5%) to the future grade of Coppell Rd. At the edge of the brick
pavers, a temporary driveway could be constructed to connect to the existing Coppell Rd. The driveway would
then be replaced when Coppell Rd is reconstructed next year. The other thing I would suggest is to move the
brick pavers 5' back from the property line to allow for some extra room during the Coppell Rd construction. If
something like this could be worked out, it would prevent the City from having to replace the pavers and a lot of
extra pavement.

Sam:
Do you know the station number where the centerline of the drive ties into the Coppell Road. If I have that, I
can draw the drive on the plan sheet. It is not shown on the townhome plans.

Suzan,
I have the plans, but I haven't actually had anyone draw in the proposed driveways yet. If it's okay with you, I
can get the P&P sheet updated next week. If they are about to pour the driveways and you need something
turned around faster, let me know, and 1'11 do my best to get it ready for you.

Sam:
Keith previously provided you with information on the Old Coppell Town Homes. The inspector for that project
needs the plan/profile sheet for Coppell Road in the area of the town homes. The plans we have do not show
the drives into the development. Have you updated the plan/profile sheet and if so, could ] get an electronic
copy. The inspector does not want to have to tear anything out when Coppell Road is constructed.
Thanks
