RE: Sandy Lake Road Project #ST 93-01 (MacArthur Blvd. to east city limits)
Parcels 27-2DE 1, 27-2DE 2, 27-1SE & 27-2SE
Dear Mr. Thompson:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our recent conversation concerning the need for the City to
acquire slope and drainage easements from property along Sandy Lake Road owned by Steve
Kimbrel, Adrian Moore and yourself. You may recall that in 1996 the City of Coppell acquired
the necessary right-of-way for the road construction. At that time, the construction plans were
incomplete. Now that the construction plans are complete, there is a need to acquire slope
easements and drainage easements from this property. As stated in our conversation, it is quite
conceivable that the slope easements may not be necessary since the property has been filled
since the original survey for the Sandy Lake Road design. However, signing the slope easements
will still give us the opportunity to access the property to do any necessary grading to make sure
the slopes are acceptable once the project is complete.
The two drainage easements are necessary to build headwalls, a wye inlet and a portion of
stormdrain on your property in two separate locations. Both locations are collecting water from
your property and discharging it into a system within Sandy Lake Road. You may recall that
during the design of Sandy Lake Road there were numerous conversations between Dallas
County, my office and yourself concerning the appropriate discharge of drainage from your
property. Construction plans were revised to accommodate drainage from the front part of your
property.
With this letter I am enclosing Sheets 34, 44 and 45 of the construction plans. Sheet 34 is the
Drainage Area Map showing area I-8, I-9, K-1 and K-4 as being portions of your property that
drain to Sandy Lake Road. Sheets 44 and 45 show the two drainage systems that collect water
from your property.
The total of the two drainage easements combined is 2,165 square feet. For the acquisition of
drainage easements adjacent to Sandy Lake Road along this section, the City of Coppell has been
offering $1.00/per square foot. With this letter I am enclosing a copy of the drainage easements and
the slope easements.
This letter shall constitute an offer from the City of Coppell for the
easements as follows:
1. Acquisition of two drainage easements at $1.00/sq.t~. x 2,165 sq. fi.
acquisition of the two drainage
$2,165.00
As previously stated, it is doubtful that the slope easements are required. However, signing the
slope easements will give us the opportunity to perform any minor grading on your site. The slope
easements are not filed at the county and at the completion of work they cease to exist.
If this offer is acceptable to you please sign below and return to me. Once I have received the letter,
I will start the process for payment of the $2,165. When the check has been processed we can
arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet to notarize the documents in exchange for the check.
Thank you for your consideration of this request and if you should have any ques6ons please feel
free to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Director of Engineering/Public Works
