Bethel Road l / Project # ST 99-05
Parcel 3 - Right-of-Way
Parcel 3E - Slope Easement
Parcel 3El - Temporary Construction Easement
Dear Mr. Futerfas:
This letter is a follow-up to the August 11, 2003 letter concerning the acquisition of right-of-way from
your property located along Bethel Road. Walter Hogg, PS is owner of what is shown as Parcel 3 on the
construction plans for the Bethel Road improvements. In order to construct the improvements, it will be
necessary to acquire right-of-way, a slope easement, and a temporary construction easement from Parcel
3. The right-of-way, slope easement, and temporary construction easement are contiguous with the
existing right-of-way along the south property line of Parcel 3.
In your telephone call on September 30, you had several questions related to the right-of-way acquisition.
The two parcels of land east of your parcel, CiCi's Addition No. 1 and Gulf Bearing, Inc., dedicated 12
foot of right-of way when they were platted. This was in addition to the 20 foot of right-of-way dedicated
as part nf the original Freeport North plat in 1984. The proposed _+30-foot right-of-way acquisition on
your parcel matches the right-of-way already acquired along the north side of Bethel Road. There is an
Explorer Pipeline easement containing a 12-inch pipeline on the DFW Airport property south of Bethel
Road. The proposed back-of-curb cannot be within five foot of the centerline of the pipeline, preventing
the roadway from being located further to the south. In addition to the fight-of-way acquisition on the
north, the City is acquiring right-of-way, varying in width from 11 to 40 feet, from the DFW Airport. The
Tree Ordinance can not be waived 'ahen the property is developed.
The City of Coppell is offering $0.79 per square foot for the permanent right-of-way and $0.20 per square
foot for the temporary construction easements. Slope easelnents and temporary construction easements
are typically acquired at one-fourth the value of right-of-way. These easements are not filed with Dallas
County and will expire upon completion of the project by the City.
This letter constitutes an offer from the City of Coppell for the acquisition of the right-of-way and
temporary construction easements as follov,,s:
1. Acquisition of permanent right-of-way at $0.79/sq. ft. x 39, i 13 sq. ft.
2. Acquisition of slope easement at $0.20/sq. ft. x 1,268 sq. ft.
3. Acquisitiou of temporary construction easement at $0.20/sq. ft. x 12,154 sq. ft.
$ 30,899.27
$ 253.60

Construction is scheduled to start in Apfil 2004 and we need to acquire the necessary right-of-way as
soon as possible. Enclosed are copies of the right-of-way and temporary construction easement
documents. If the above offer is acceptable, please sign below and return to this office. Once the letter is
received, the process for payment of the $33,583.67 can start. When the check is ready we can arrange a
