RE: Sandy lake Road Project #ST 93-02 / Parcel 22
Dear Mr. GritTm,
I have decided to accept your original offer of $500.00 for my comer clip. I am
aware that your Jan. 19, 1997 letter stated the offer was rescended and you were
redesigning the sidewalk connection. However, if my parcel would help please call.

RE: Sandy Lake Road Project//ST 93-02 / Parcel 22
Dear Mr. Cross:
This letter is written in response to the City of Coppell's offer letter of $500 for the acquisition
of the comer clip easement associated with your property and also in response to your counter
offer of $2500 for the easement.
The easement itself is approximately 10 square feet and is only a small comer clip necessary for
the connection of the Sandy Lake Road sidewalk to the sidewalk on Meadow Run. As you are
aware from our meetings and fight-of-way documents provided, the City of Coppell has adequate
right-of-way to construct the roadway due to right-of-way dedication when the Meadows Section
One Subdivision was platted. Because of our inability to acquire the easement, the City of
Coppell is rescinding its offer for the acquisition of the 10 square feet. I am advising our
engineer to redesign the sidewalk connection at the comer of~your property to allow for the
sidewalk to be constructed without the 10 square feet.
I am sorry we were unable to come to a mutually agreeable solution for the acquisition of the
comer clip and I appreciate your consideration of the City's prior offers. But again, there is no
offer on the table from the City of Coppell and the City is redesigning the sidewalk construction
to alleviate the need for the acquisition.
If you should have any questions please feel free to contact this office at your convenience.
Sincerely, ~;>,

RE: Sandy Lake Road Project//ST 93-02 / P~c, el 22
This letter is written as a follow-up to my previous correspondence concerning the acquisition
of corner clips located on your property. The City is continuing to pursue the acquisition of the
right-of-way with hopes of starting this project in the spring/1998. I have reviewed the corner
clips and in lieu of trying to assign a per square foot value to the landscape easements, the City
of Coppell is willing to offer a set amount for each corner clip in hopes of acquiring them
without going through any other processes that involves appraisers or attorneys. Therefore, the
City of Coppell is still willing to offer a set amount of $500 for each corner clip.
If this is acceptable to you please sign below and return a signed copy of the letter. Once I have
received the letter, I will start the process for payment of the $500 for the comer clip. Once the
check has been processed we can arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet to notarize the
document in exchange for the check.
Again, if you are agreeable to the lump sum price of $500 for the corner clip please sign below
and return to this office. Thank you for your consideration of this request and if you should' have
any questions please feel free to contact this office.

Re: Sandy Lake Road Project//ST 93-02 / \~'I,~ ~ ":'~
Dear Mr. McCollum:
For some time now the City of Coppell has been working with the engineering firm of Rady and
Associates to design Sandy Lake Road from Denton Tap Road to MacArthur Blvd. The project
is now in the final stages of design and the City is in the process of acquiring right-of-way to
facilitate the construction. There are thirty parcels of right-of-way to be acquired and twelve
of those parcels are referred to as "comer clips". The comer clips are necessary to allow the
connection of existing sidewalks on the side streets to the proposed sidewalks along Sandy Lake
Road. Your property is one of the properties on which the City of Coppell will need to acquire
a comer clip. While the comer clip is on your property, it is outside of the existing entry wall.
Therefore, the acquisition of the comer clip should have no adverse impact upon your property
but will allow the City of Coppell the opportunity to connect existing sidewalks to proposed
sidewalks along Sandy Lake Road.
With this letter I am providing a copy of the easement documents. After reviewing the easement
documents, if you should have any questions or if you wish to view the preliminary construction
plans please contact this office at (972)304-3679 and speak with Mike Martin, Assistant City
Engineer or myself. If you have no questions, the City of Coppell would appreciate the signing
and returning of the easement documents so that the project can stay on track. It is anticipated
that utility construction will begin sometime in mid-1997. For your convenience, my secretary
is a notary public and will be happy to notarize your signature at your convenience. Again, if
you should have any questions please contact this office.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Dear Mr. Griff'm,
This letter is written as a response to your lump sum offer for acquiring my comer
clip/Parcel #22. After careful consideration I do not feel that $500 dollars is
adequate. I feel that the acquisition of my fight-of-way is more complicated and
want $2500. If this is acceptable please notify me and we can take the next step.
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me

Re: Sandy Lake Road Project #ST 93-02
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We are in receipt of your letter dated October 29, 1996 concerning the "comer clips" for
connecting existing sidewalks to proposed sidewalks on Sandy Lake Road. We currently
do not have a problem with the "comer clip" as it stands. However, we are very
concerned about the layout of the sidewalk on Sandy Lake Road. We currently have a
hedge of bushes on our property and do not want the sidewalk to interfere with those
bushes in any way. It has taken 14 years for this hedge to grow and is our only buffer to
Sandy Lake Road for our driveway.
If we can be guaranteed that the bushes will be let~ intact ~1~ f,h~sidewalk will not be
placed where the bushes are, we will sign the Permanent Right__for the corne
clip" on our property. We will require written documentatio~t you will
guarantee that the bushes will be left intact. ~
We expect to hear from you soon. Thank you.
