Mr. Gaddy:
The City of Coppell made several attempts to locate the sanitary sewer (SS) line that was constructed as
part of the Denton Tap Road drainage improvements and paid for by you. We were not successful in
locating the 8" SS line so we had the consultant designing lhe water line project evaluate our options on
how to restore SS service to your property. In order to put the existing 8" SS line back into service, we
would have to do the following:
1. Cut and remove a +8' x 10' pavement section of Denton Tap Road;
2. Excavate with trench box, find the existing 8" SS line and extend it at least 20 feet back into your
property, plug it, and mark it tbr future;
3. Backfill and replace the pavement and curb on Denton Tap;
4. Cut and remove pavement to fred the abandoned manhole under the entrance to the Mercantile;
5. Excavate with trench box and find the abandoned manhole and the 8" SS line. Replace the
manhole and make the connection to the manhole on the 15" sanitary sewer; and
6. Backfill and replace the pavement and curb in the Mercantile drive.
The consultant determined that it would be more cost efficient and better for the city to install another
8" SS line by boring. Ihe contractor will have the boring equipment on site for the proposed water line
bores and a section of Denton Tap Road will not have to be removed. The proposed 8" SS line will be
extended further behind the curb so that Denton Tap Road will not be impacted when future
development connects to the 8" SS line.

The installation of the 8" SS lateral has been added to the scope of work for the water line project. The
proposed 8" SS line will be installed near the existing 8" SS line and will connect to the manhole on the
15" SS line. Unfortunately, the bore for the water line and the bore for the 8" SS line can not be done in
the same bore pit because of the fire hydrant spacing, l have attached a letter of permission to enter
your property to construct a bore pit for the installation of the 8" SS line. You can fax the signed
document to me at 972-304-3570.
The water line project starts advertising on August 19 and we will have a pre-bid meeting on
September 1, at 2:00 p.m. at Town Center. Please feel free to attend the meeting if you have any
questions or concerns about the proposed project. Construction of the project should start in October.
You previously indicated that the 8" SS line was installed so that developments along the west side of
Denton Tap could tie into it. The proposed embroidery shop development immediately north of your
property will have to cross your property in order to tie into the sewer line and there is not a utility
easement in place that will allow them to do that. Them is an existing 10' telephone easement
contiguous with the west right-of-way line of Denton Tap on your property. The developments to your
north have dedicated a sidewalk/utility easement on top of the existing telephone easement. Would you
consider dedicating a 10' sidewalk/utility easement prior to the platting of your property so that the
embroidery shop can tie into the 8" SS line once it is constructed?
Your consideration of these matters is appreciated. Should you have any questions or need any
additional information, please advise.

LETTER OF PERMISSION
That GENE GADDY, the undersigned, does hereby grant to the City of Coppell or its
employees, engineers, or contractors, permission to enter the property owned or controlled by it,
being further described as a 1.3029 acre parcel located at 881 S. Denton Tap Road for the purpose
of installing an 8-inch sanitary sewer line as part of the proposed Denton Tap Road 16-Inch
Water Line Project (WA 97-01). This project generally consists of the installation of _+ 4000
linear feet of 16-inch water line, _+ 600 linear feet of 8-inch water line, and nine fire hydrants.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in October 2005 with an estimated
construction time of nine (9) months. The work on said property generally consists of the
construction of a + 15' x 40' pit and the installation of an 8-inch sanitary sewer line by a method
other than open cut. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed in the general location of
the existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line that was constructed as part of the Denton Tap Road
drainage improvements. This Letter of Permission includes the right to move equipment onto the
property that is necessary for the installation of the 8-inch sanitary sewer line and the right of
reasonable ingress and egress across the property for the construction purposes.
The City of Coppell will also restore the land back to its original condition to the

construction, such areas will have the same sod, shrubbery, and plants replaced in their prior
positions.
