RE: Utility easement for a future sanitary sewer line
Dear Ms. Seidner:
Thank you for taking the time to discuss DART's position and policies on the installation of
utility lines and/or improvements across DART property on August 23, 1993. This letter is
written as a follow-up to obtain a more definitive response from DART about the City's ability
to obtain an utility easement across DART's property on the west side of Coppoll Road, south
of Bums Drive (see enclosed exhibi0. As I stated, the property immediately north of the DART
property is in the process of platting and the City has requested an utility easement. However,
there are already existing improvements in the area of the requested utility easement. Because
of the existing improvements, the property owner has requested that the City contact DART
about the potential to acquire an easement through DART property. The utility in question is
a 15 inch sanitary sewer line as shown on the City of Coppell's Master Plan. The City has no
immediate plan to construct this line, however, the City is trying to secure the easement across
the property to the north at this time because the property is currently being platted.
By virtue of this letter, I am requesting that DART provide the City of Coppell information on
the process to obtain permission to install a future utility across DART property. The
information should contain the estimated cost of the right to be on DART property. I would also
request that DART provide policies on the utilization of DART property and the ability of
DART to request that the improvements be relocated if DART determines that there is a better
use of the property.
The City is not currently attempting to acquire the permission but is only looking at future
options for the installation of the sanitary sewer line. Any information that can be provided to
the City at this time will be greatly appreciated and would help future planning for the
installation of this sewer line.
If I can provide you any additional information or details concerning this please feel free to
contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
City Engineer
