COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the area suitable for light

DISCUSSION:
The proposed fight-of-way was designed to keep it entirely in Dallas County. Staff has
requested that the applicant make available to the Planning & Zoning Commission an approval

This proposal to extend Northpoint Drive westward will provide the industrial users located

increase the marketability of the land adjacent to the right-of-way extension.

Re: North Point Drive Extension to S.H. 121 - Coppell, Texas
Mr. Hensley:
Thank you for meeting with Andre' Taylor and me last week to discuss drainage issues related to
the proposed roadway extension of North Point Drive. On Thursday, 9/5/96, RUST
Lichliter/Jameson (RL/J) discussed the conclusions of our meeting with the City of Coppell
Development Review Committee.
As we discussed with the City, it is our understanding that TXDOT agrees that runoff from the
+ 18.16 acres of land along the northbound highway service road (see enclosed Drainage Area Map)
naturally drains by sheet flow to the west across the service road and into a ditch along the highway.
It is our further understanding that TXDOT has no objections to the continuance of this natural
drainage pattern when the area is developed.
The City has requested that RUST Lichliter/Jameson obtain a letter of permission from TXDOT
stating that runoff fi.om the + 18.16 acres of land along the highway service road, when developed,
can be drained by sheet flow across the service road and into the ditch along the highway. We are
therefore requesting a letter of permission from TXDOT. We are planning to obtain approval from
the City ofCoppell's P&Z for the Preliminary Plat of the roadway extension on September 19. We
would therefore need the letter from TXDOT by Friday, 9/13/96.
Qu,di~. througl, teamwork
