RE: Sandy Lake Roadway, MacArthur to East city Limits (ST93-01)
Dear Bill:
This letter is written as a follow-up to the public meeting held on
the referenced project on December 20, 1993. The main items
discussed at the public meeting were the horizontal alignment and
access to the adjacent properties. There was a substantial amount
of conversation concerning the amount of fill to be placed on the
roadway, and how the vertical alignment of the roadway would affect
the adjacent properties.
Based on our conversation afterwards, the overriding issue the
County needs to resolve is whether or not the horizontal alignment
fits the City of Coppell's needs. Based on the previous reviews of
the roadway design, and based on the public input at the meeting,
the City of Coppell offers no objections to the horizontal
alignment of Sandy Lake Road from MacArthur to the East City
Limits. It is my understanding, based on the review of the plans,
that the minimum radius for any horizontal curvature is 850 foot.
This meets the minimum requirements in our Roadway Functional
Classifications and Designs Standards.
Because you were at the public meeting, you know that there was
substantial comment concerning the median openings and access to
adjacent properties. It is my understanding that Dallas County
will be reevaluating that aspect of the design and at some point in
the future will be bringing forth a design that attempts to
incorporate a majority of those comments into the design.

Again, it is my understanding that the overriding issue for Dallas
County was the approval of the horizontal alignment. As stated,
the City offers no objection to the horizontal alignment.
If you should have any questions, or need additional information,
please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, PE
