RE: Sandy Lake Road Project 91-830 (City of Coppell Project ST 93-01)
Dear Mr. Saldana:
At the September I0, 1996 City Council meeting, Council approved an agenda item to accept
right-of-way dedication from the Johnny Thompson property in lieu of any Road Way Impact
Fees. This is an item of which Mr. Thompson has had ongoing conversations with the City for
approximately one year, but it was just recently approved by City Council. The only right-of-
way information available to the City was old right-of-way documents that were dated January,
1994. I am unsure if the right-ofTway has changed since that time. However, prior to having
Mr. Thompson execute the easement, I would request that you contact the consultant on the
project and if it has changed, that you provide the City with an updated right-of-way deed and
exhibit for what was classified as Parcel #25 that is signed by the surveyor. The sooner that the
City can be provided that document the sooner we can have Mr. Thompson sign the right-of-way
and file it with the County.
Even though we have not received the official right-of-way documents for this section of Sandy
Lake, we are attempting to acquire right-of-way as we can when property develops, is platted
or when other opportunities arise. The only instruments that we can use to determine the
approximate right-of-way necessary are the old right-of-way documents. Is there currently a
timetable when the official right-of-way documents will be provided to the City so that we can
begin the long and tedious process of acquiring all the necessary right-of-way for this project
so that it can move forward? If so, the timeline for the completion of right-of-way documents
would be appreciated.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact
this office at your convenience.
Sincerely,
l
Ke~th M. Griffin, P.E.
