RE: Coppell Road Reconstruction
ST 00-03
Parcel 4 - Permanent Right of Way
Dear Ms. Smith:
The City of Coppell is in the process of finalizing the design for the reconstruction of
Coppell Road from Sandy Lake Road to Cooper Lane. This project will consist of
removing the current asphalt roadway, and constructing a 34' wide concrete street with
improved drainage. The project will include an 8' wide hike and bike trail along the west
side of the street and a 4' concrete sidewalk along the east side of the street.
The extra roadway width coupled with a slightly larger radius at the intersection with
Kaye Street causes the street to encroach onto property owned by you on both sides of
Kaye Street. In order to accommodate this encroachment the city is requesting dedication
of a comer clip from both lots to serve as permanent right of way. I am including a page
from the design plans that shows your lots, the proposed intersection layout, and the
encroachment onto your property that requires the right of way dedication.
Parcel 4 actually consists of two 10' x 10' comer clips, one located at the northwest
comer of 420 Coppell Road, and one at the southwest comer of 412 Coppell Road, at the
intersection of Coppell Road and Kaye Street. As discussed, comer clips are required at
street intersections where street or pedestrian improvements such as curbs, sidewalks and
access ramps are constructed. The city is otTering a set amount of $500.00 for each
corner clip. This is the standard amount that was established for the acquisition of comer
clips on the recently constructed portion of Sandy Lake Road.
This letter constitutes an offer from the City of Coppell for the acquisition of right-of-
way as follows:
Parcel 4
1. Acquisition of Permanent Right of Way (420 S. Coppell Road)
2. Acquisition of Permanent Right of Way (412 S. Coppell Road)
3. Value of24" Post Oak
