RE: Coppe11 High School
Dear Hr. Trando:
This letter is to serve as confirmation to you and the Council :hat the C,~ppcl)
Independent School District fully intends to address the conc~rns ¢×pl~s-,t by
the Council at their last meeting regarding our new High School siLe. tleeti~9s
between the School District and Univest have been held and U~ivest has e~::'essed
their willingness to provide the District with an easement to allow ~ t~*.te~:,Jc~
of Parkway Blvd. and an access road to the school site, prior to the comple~on
of the new High School building.
Please accept this letter as the School District's commitment to ~o th~
following in answer to the Council's concerns:
Construct the required portion of Parkway Blvd. to provide
access to the school site prior to the opening of school
in the Fall of 1987, on an easement provided by Univest.
The District will convey the storm waLer alot)g the schooils
east boundary line from the south end of our property to
the north end, in a buried ~ulvert system. This culvert
will be constructed on School District property and will
have the necessary out-fall treatment at the north property
llne to prevent erosion.
The school driveway configurations have been modified on
the revised preliminary plat to prevent intermingling of
school traffic with Willow Lane or other residential
streets to the south of the property. Only a fire access
pavement section has been provided from the school service
drive to-Willow Lane, in accordance with the requirements
of the Fire Chief. This driveway w111 have a permanent
locked gate with the only key being issued to the Fire
Department. Attached please find a letter from Chief
Hayfield indicating his acceptance of this procedure. As
you can see from the preliminary plat, all school traffic
will enter and exit from Parkway Blvd. Construction access
will be provided from the 24 ft. easement, from Denton Tap
to the school's property line.
1~01 Wrangler Drive Coppell, Texas 75019 (£1~) ~71-1111
o
I.n addition to the easements for Parkway Blvd. and the
school site access road, Unlvest and C.I.S.D. have agreed
on the concept for the granting of additional easements.
These include easements for the out-fall of the box culvert
along the east property line and a buried storm drainage
pipe at midpoint of the north property line that continues
to Cottonwood Creek.
School District has employed the services of Barton &
Ashman, traffic consultant, to prepare a traffic study in
accordance with the City's consultlng engineer's require-
ments. This study is now underway and will be available
shortly. A copy of this agreement is also attached.
I trust this letter will serve to show the School District's willingness to
work with the City of Coppell. We look forward to the successful completion
of this project, which will provide a facility that the entire community can
be proud of.
Very truly yours,

The purpose of this letter is to clarify the Fire Department's position in the use ol Willow
Lane as an emergency entrance to the campus of the new Coppell High School.
This department has no objection to the School District providing a secondary
ingress/egress to the campus from Willow Lane. A gate, secured by lock, chain, and
key. with the key(s) provided to this agency is acceptable. A "road", as you suggest,
must meat the standards of construction as detailed in the City of Coppell's ordinances.
Please understand that the question/position this is addressed here pertains only the
emergency ingress/epress to the property. Do not construe this as to ~n endorsement
for domestic vehicle usage of Oak Trail or Shadydale.
Thank you for your concern for fire and life safety rot this facility.
Sincerely, z ..... .-,.
