RE: Sandy Lake Road / ST 99-02A
Lot 24, Block B, Oakbend Addition
Sidewalk & Utility Easement / Temporary Slope Easement
Dear Mr. Len:
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 easements necessary to construct the project. It will be
necessary to obtain a sidewalk and utility easement, and a temporary slope easement on property
that is owned by you.
A 35'x 35' visibility triangle was platted as a part of Lot 24, Block B, Oakbend Addition. The
City needs to obtain sidewalk and utility easement rights within the visibility triangle. The eight-
foot hike and bike trail will have an accessibility ramp at the southeast comer of the Oakbend
Drive/Sandy Lake Road intersection. The construction of the trail and accessibility ramp will
require additional area outside of the existing right-of-way. The 35'x35' triangle will also
provide additional area for the construction or relocation of utilities.
The City will also need to obtain a temporary slope easement on a portion of your property. The
proposed roadway ground elevations will not tie into the existing ground elevations within the
limits of the right-of-way in this area. The slope grading will not impact the existing seven-foot
brick wall located on your property. 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 sidewalk and utility easement, and temporary slope
easement documents 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,
