RE~ Proposed Crossing of Parkland in Coppe11, Texas
Dear Steve=
As you are probably aware, the City of Coppell has received an
application for a subdivision plat which locates the extension of
an existingroadway over anapproztm~te 2,000 square foot tract of
parkland. This letter is intended to describe to you the proposed
project and to request whether the proposed improvement qualifies
as an exception to the Conversion of Fund Supported Properties
process.
Enclosed, please find a reduced copy of the preliminary plat for
Section Four of Parks of Coppell. Property i ...... ediatelyeast of the
subject property is City of .Coppell parkland. Also enclosed,
please find a copy of a map delineating the park. Please note, on
the preliminary plat, Parkway Boulevard which traverses the
proposed subdivision. The portion of Parkway Boulevard to the
southeast of the subject property that is shaded is existing.
Because of the existing alignment, the developer's engineer is
required to extend Parkway Boulevard over an approximate 2,000
square foot trianqulartract of parkland that is also shaded on the
drawing.
Parkway Boulevard is proposed to extend through the proposed
subdivision and further extend through land in westernCoppell that
does not have convenient access to the parkland. Therefore, the
slight encroachment across parkland significantly enhances access
from western Coppell to the prlm~y activity area in the park.
Additionally, access to the park is enhanced by a 20'
ingress/egress between lots 30 and 31 of Block A of the proposed
plat.

Consequently, because the encroachment greatly enhances access for
a significant portion of Coppell, we believe that the proposal
satisfies the exception as a public facility which increases the
benefit to public recreational opportunity. Please review the
enclosures at your earliest convenience and forward your response
to us.
Your assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated. If you
need additional information, or have any questions regarding this
i~ atter, please do not hesitate to call me. If I am not available,
Lease speak to Rick Wieland, Parks and Recreation Manager.
