RE: Hunt-Royal Lane
alignment.
Honorable Hayor and City Council:
In our review of the above referenced preliminary plat and street
alignment we have the following coaments:
1. The alignment fOr the future Sandy Lake Road extension should
be adjusted to intersect State Highway 121 at Thweatt Road.
2. The desirableright-of-way width of the Royal Lane extension,
~-. ~ as shown through the Hunt property, is 120 feet. A width of
~~~,e~ 120 to 110 feet will provide for the future upgrading of Royal
Lane from 4 to 6 lanes, should the DFW Airport agree to a six
lane divided thoroughfare south of Bethel Road. If the
Airport only agrees to a 4 lane thoroughfare south of Bethel
0, ~ Road, Royal Lane should be do~mgraded on the thoroughfare
plan to a 4 lane thoroughfare utilizing less right -of -way.
FoUr lanes constructed at this time is acceptable with the
assurance that 2 lanes can be added if 6 lanes are needed in
the future.
5. HaJor thoroughfare alignments often bisect property lines to
facilitate access and use of the thoroughfare to more property
o~ners and distribute the cost of construction among the
respective o~ners. If drainage and terrain conditions permit,
we'suggest that the ali~unent of Royal Lane be shifted to the
east property line of the Hunt tract for the use of more
property owners. This viii also allow the design radius to be
a minimum of 1000 feet. We have been informed by
representatives of Hr. Hunt that many of the adjacent property
~ owners have approved the locations of Royal Lane as proposed
by the applicant.
4. Right-of-way for the extension of Creekview Drive should be
dedicated from Royal to the east property line of the Hunt
tract to assure east-vest access to Royal Lane.

,~ .... c~.!,~ the Airport). No offset should occur at Bethel Road.
