Re:
Sandy Lake Road from MacArthur Blvd. to the east city limits
Project 891-830 (ST 93-01)
The City of Coppell has again reviewed the plans submitted for the referenced project.
following comments to offer:
I have the
The City of Coppell will hold a public meeting for this project. It is anticipated that that
meeting could take place in the middle of November or quite possibly in the first part of
December depending on the holiday schedule and the available dates for the public meeting.
The standard details shown are in conflict with our standard details. Please see the attached
copy of the standard details.
The portion of Sandy Lake, on the west side of MacArthur Blvd., needs to be coordinated
with the City's consultant for Sandy Lake Road. The consultant is Robert Ma.y, with Rady
and Associates. His telephone number is (817) 654-4266.
I am still concerned that them is no median opening at Kimbell Court. Them could possibly
be some input from the citizens at the public meeting.
In the vicinity of Stations 38 to 39, the City has approved a planned development that is
proposing a street in this general area. I have provided a drawing of the planned
development that shows the general location of the street and the configuration of the
development. Because this is an approved development, the median opening generally
located between Stations 40 and 41 should be eliminated and a median opening should be
provided to generally line up with the proposed planned development between Stations 38
to 39.
The plans show the nose for Riverchase Drive being extended out. This nose should be
constructed so that it will not have to be reconstructed when the roadway is expanded to six
lanes in the future.
The existing right-of-way immediately east of Riverchase Drive should be shown. There was
an additional 15 feet of right-of-way dedicated with the Eagle Point Village Subdivision.
There appears to be surplus right-of-way on the south side of Sandy Lake Road, east of
Riverchase Drive. Is there any way to design the road so that more of the existing right-of-
way on the south side can be utilized without compromising the integrity of the design?
Some of the comments on our previous check set were responded with a comment stating
"Gojer Contract". If something in the Gojer Contract affects the City of Coppell, the City
requests that we be allowed to review the portion of those plans in Coppell. It is also my
understanding that the entire section of Sandy Lake Road could be constructed possibly at
one time. Could the future roadway section also be shown lightly dashed in? It appears that
the future roadway will necessitate additional right-of-way to be required on the north side
of Sandy Lake and possibly on the south side of Sandy Lake.
There are some other minor comments contained on the first checkset that were not restated in this
checkset.
Once the City obtains public input on this project, any comments that affect the design will also be
forwarded to the County hopefully for inclusion in the preliminary plans. As previously stated, the City
would appreciate the opportunity to again review the plans. Both sets of marked up plans should be
resubmitted with the revised plans to provide for a quicker review of the revisions. If you should have
any questions about the concerns expressed please feel free to contact me at 393-1016 to discuss those
concerns.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffm, P.E.
City Engineer
