Box 140 Coppell, Texas 75019-0140 RE: Sandy Lake Road Project #ST 93-02 / Driveway Dear Mr. Nevels: This is provided to address .yOUr concerns regarding the driveway,onto: Sandy Lake Road. Initially the City removed the existing: driveway and:replaced: half of..the :driveway_.to match the new elevation:of Sandy Lake Road. The initial installation caused:concern to the Church because the new slope for the driveway was too steep causing some vehicles and/or trailers to scrape when pulling into the church. The City considered a number of possible solutions, two of which were presented to you at our meeting on February 16, 2000. Both solutions would require removing the newly constructed driveway approaches. Also, existing pavemem on the Church property would have to be removed including one 9'x18' parking space on each side of the driveway. The additional pavement removal would be necessary to decrease the slope of the driveway. One option is to replace all of the pavement that is removed. The new pavemem in the two parking spaces would be sloped from one side to the other because of the new grade on the driveway. This would mean that the parking space west of the driveway would slope such that when a vehicle pulled straight into the parking space, the left from tire would be higher than the right fi.om tire. Just the opposite would occur on the east side of the driveway, the right front tire would be higher than the left from tire. The second option is to eliminate both on-site parking spaces and create "parking islands" on each side of the driveway.. By doing this the elevation difference between ..the driveway and the next parking space .could be accomplished with a sloped parking island. . The parking islands would be curbed to match the curbs in the curb parking lot, filled with dirtandhydro-mulched. Based on our conversation this option, is the Church's preference (see attached exhibit):: If you are in agreement with the 2aa option please have the designated person sign this letter and return to me. Once we have received the signed letter, work will begin on the driveway. After the work has been completed to your satisfaction, please sign and return the acceptance statement. After that has been received, the church will be responsible for maintaining the improvements on their property. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. Sincerely, Michael A.
