RE: Sandy Lake Road / ST 99-02A
Lot 82, Block A, Oakbend Addition Right-of-Way / Sidewalk & Utility Easement
Dear Mr. & Ms. Kellen:
This is a follow-up to our August 3,2004 letter regarding the City's need for right-of-way, and a sidewalk and
utility easement on your property. The easements are necessary for the reconstruction of Sandy Lake Road to a
four-lane divided roadway with improved drainage, and the construction of an eight-foot hike and bike trail
along the south side of the road.
The City of Coppell is offering $3.60 per square foot for the permanent right-of-way. This is the land value as
shown in the Dallas Central Appraisal District. The right-of-way is located north of the existing 7-foot brick
wall and is necessary for the construction of roadway improvements and the hike and bike trail. The sidewalk
and utility easement is contained within an existing 35' x 35' visibility triangle located at the northeast comer of
your parcel. The triangle-shaped easement is commonly referred to as a 'comer clip'. The city is offering a set
amount of $500.00 for this comer clip. This is the standard amount that was established for the acquisition of
comer clips on the recently constructed portion of Sandy Lake Road. The acquisition of these easements will
not adversely impact your property, the existing brick wall, or the entry sign.
This letter constitutes an offer from the City of Coppell for the acquisition of the easements as follows:
1. Acquisition of permanent right-of-way at $3.59/sq. ft. x 1568 sq. ft.
2. Acquisition of sidewalk and utility easement (comer clip)
3. Any real or perceived damages
$5,629.12
500.00
49,000.00
Total
$55,129.12
Construction is scheduled to start in the 4th quarter of 2005 and we need to acquire the easements as soon as
possible. Enclosed are copies of the easement documents. If the above offer is acceptable, please sign below
and return to this office. Once the letter is received, the process for payment of the $55,129.12 can start. When
the check is ready, we can arrange a mutually agreeable method to exchange the documents and the check.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated and should you have any questions, please contact myself or
Suzan Taylor at 972-304-7019.
