RE: Sandy Lake Road / ST 99-02A
Right-of-Way / Temporary Slope Easement
Dear Mr. Sowell:
The City ofCoppell is currently working with the engineering firm of Teague Nail and Perkins on
the design of improvements for Sandy Lake Road (west City limits to North Coppell Road) and
Royal Lane (Sandy Lake Road to Northpoint). The existing two-lane asphalt roads will be
replaced with four-lane divided, concrete roadways with improved drainage. An eight-foot hike
and bike trail will be constructed along the south side of Sandy Lake Road, from State Road
eastward to North Coppell Road. The project is in the final design phase and the City is in the
process of obtaining the right-of-way and casements necessary to construct the project. It will be
necessary to obtain right-of-way and a temporary slope easement on property that is owned by
JSCP Partnership LP.
The improved section of Sandy Lake Road ends just east of the intersection with North Coppell
Road. Additional right-of-way will be required to construct an asphalt transition from the
improved roadway to the unimproved roadway during this project, and for the construction of the
future roadway improvements from North Coppell Road to Denton Tap.
North Coppell Road, from the intersection with Sandy Lake Road northward a distance of 349
feet, will be reconstructed as part of this project. Due to the superelevation required on Sandy
Lake Road, the elevation of Coppell Road will have to be raised by as much as five foot to allow
for the streets to tie in. The raising of the road will provide for a safe intersection with respect to
sight distance as well as driver comfort. The proposed roadway ground elevations will not tie
into the existing ground elevations within the limits of the right-of-way. The City will need to
obtain a temporary slope casement on your property that is contiguous with the east right-of-way
line of Coppell Road. The temporary slope easement will not be filed with Dallas County, and
will expire upon completion of the project.
With this letter I am providing a copy of the right-of-way, and temporary slope casement
necessary for the construction of Sandy Lake Road. Please review the enclosed documents and
let me know if you have any questions or if you wish to view the construction plans. Your
consideration of this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
~c .QV) T ili.\ lor-
