Re: Handwritten Memorandum dated 5-11-89
CISD Bus Access Drive (South end)...(ie. Mills Lane)
Dear Mr. Doyle:
In response to the
comments.
above referenced
item we offer the following
In conversation with Ms. Taryon Bowman it is our understanding
that the requested map and traffic study will be provided to both
Mr. Ratliff and yourself via the distribution of the P&Z packets.
Ms. Bowman and I discussed this request and felt that since she
was already generating this information for the May 18, 1989 P&Z
meeting that she could distribute an additional packet to Mr.
Ratliff thereby handling this request internally.
It is our understanding that the concerns presented in your
handwritten memorandum dated 5-7-89 have been resolved per our
conversation with Ms. Taryon Bowman.
Regarding the half-road issue for the 24 foot dedication we offer
the following observations. We do not feel there is a half-road
issue since this drive is intended for future bus access only to
the High School site. No thru traffic to businesses or
residences are intended to use this driveway primarily because
it will only connect to the school property. The width of drive
needed in the future shall determine how much additional right-
of-way to the north must be obtained from ABQ Development Corp.
in the future. It is our understanding that ABQ Development
Corp. has already agreed to dedicate the necessary right-of-way
to accomodate this drive whenever it is needed per their
agreements with the CISD. Platting of their property in the
future would also accomodate the future access drive.
We hope this accomodates your needs. Please call if you have any
questions.
Sincere!y, /~

RE: CONNELb/SKAGGS ADDITION - f'INAL PLAT
[)ear Mr. Connell:
It has been some time s~nce we met in the last quarter of 1988, when
worki,g on the llager plat, and Royal Lane Extension projects. AS I
recall, you said that when you complete those two projects, you would
pursue the construction of the drainage structure(s) just west of the
Connell Skaggs Addition. I was concerned about the situation, because
during the July 12, 1988, storm, property had flooded along Shady Dale
Lane. At a later time, you said something about needing easements. [{ave
you gotten them yet?
[ have heard since then thai there was some resident ~al flooding.
Likewise, it has come to my attention that per the attached letter, dated
May 20, 1987, to Wayne Ginn, P.E., the City Enginee~ at that time, that
was part of the City Council request packet tot snbject plat, you cormqitted
to bnih]ing the drainage structure(s) "simultaneously w~th the school
construction of same, and acco[ding to City Specifications".
Therefore, since the school construction is nearing completion, the
drainage structure[s) shall De constrncted. Please forwa~(l three (3) sets
of construction documents for revLew and approval.
When those sets are finally approved, it will he necessary to submit at
least six (6) sets of construclion documents for linal review aod stamped
approval.
All applicable fees and documents (i.e. proposed pro--tala agreement)
related improvements, should accompany your submittal package fei approval.
Please let me know if there are any questions.
Since~aly,

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
This letter is to inform you that it will be my recommendation
to the Board to agree to dedicate the 24-foot wide strip of
land between our property and Denton Tap Road to the City as
a street right-of-way. The Board ha given me every
indication that there will be no problem with the vote,
although the Board will not meet to act on that matter until
May 8.
I should, however, also make note that there are presently
no funds available to use on construction of the street. As
we had discussed earlier with City staff, it would be our
plan to consider construction of a road for bus usage when
the second phase of the school is begun.
You might recall that a traffic study was done in conjunction
with the construction of Parkway Boulevard and the access
road to the school property. That study showed that two
lanes would be adequate access to the school until further
.additions were done. We are, however, constructing both sides
of Parkway Boulevard and are constructing a four lane,
44-foot wide street section from Parkway to the school. We
are comfortable, and traffic studies show that this street
should be adequate for many years.
We thank you for working with us throughout this project and
if there are any other questions, let me know..
Very truly yours,
Vonita White,

The City With A Beautiful Future
October 19, 1987
Mr. James Dunn
16Z N. Shadydale
Coppell, Texas 75019
Dear Mr. Dunn:
A few weeks back I spoke with you concerning the chain link fence~ you erected
at your property. I explained to you that it looked as though the fence was
encroaching on the Willow Lane right-of-way and also the Shadydale right-of-way.
I also informed you that we could find no record of the issuance of a fence permit
for your property. You explained that the fence material was new, but that
the fence had existed along Willow Lane and Shadydale for several years. I told
you that unless the property lines were surveyett, I would not take any action
concerning the location of the fence.
Recently questions were raised concerning the fence location because of the
storm sewer project that is being undertaken by the Coppell Independent School
District and the Connell/Skaggs joint venture. Construction personnel found
that they would be unable to extend the storm sewer to the south end of the
Willow Lane right-of-way because the fence you constructed was in the
right-of-way, according to their figures.
Because of the questions involved with the fence location, it was decided to
employ the services of a registered surveyor to locate the northeast and northwest
corners of your property.
I spoke with you on October 8, 1987 and requested your permission to have the
surveyor to attempt to locate the property pin on the northwest corner of your
property, since the pin was believed to be within the chain link fence. You agreed
to allow the surveyor to check within the fenced area. The property pin was
found. When the pin was found it was observed that it was approximately five
feet within the western fence boundary and approximately twelve feet within
the northern fence boundary. The right-of-way for Willow Lane and Shadydale
does extend to the property pins, therefore, the fence is encroaching approximately
twelve feet into the Willow Lane right-of-way and encroaching approximately
five feet into the Shadydale right-of-way. When the northeast property pin was
located, it was observed that the eastern most portion of your fence was
encroaching approximately thirty feet into the Willow Lane right-of-way.
The surveyor who uncovered the property pins was also the same man who surveyed
that area approximately fifteen months ago. The surveyor informed me that
when the survey was made, fifteen months ago, that he made field notes of all
existing fences. He could not remember any fence that was located on your
Mr. James Dunn
Page Two
property at that time. The field notes also did not mention any type of fence.
As I informed you when we met a few weeks ago, a fence permit is required
to be issued prior to the construction of any fence. I also told you that fences
were not allowed to be located within the front yard of any lot. Because there
was no documentation of when the fence was constructed, I chose not to pursue
the above points. Now that it has been determined that no fence existed fifteen
months ago, the city must require that this new fence be brought into compliance
with existing ordinances. In order for the fence to comply with existing ordinances,
the following items must be accomplished.
1. The fence must be made to terminate at the front of your house. Fences
are not allowed to extend beyond the front of the house according to Section
9-2-6 C of Ordinance 86-350.
Z. The fence must be moved out of the Willow Lane right-of-way. No fence
may be constructed upon any public property according to Section 9-Z-5
of Ordinance 86-350. A street right-of-way is considered public property.
3. A permit must be issued for the fence. The permit must include a plot
plan of the property showing the location of the fence. The cost for this
permit is $10.00.
This fence must be brought into compliance, as listed above, or removed no later
than October 30, 1987.
If you are unable to meet this deadline because of circumstances beyond your
control, or if you have any questions feel free to call me at 402-9010.
Sincerely,
Building Official
