Re: Preliminary Plat Submission
Park Place Addition
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
This letter is being written as a follow up to my letter of September 19, 1989
requesting certain variances for the referenced plat. At the request of you staff, I
cite the following references to support our request #4 in the letter of the 19th. This
agreement with the City arises from paragraph 2 (e) of Article IV of the Contract of
Sale between the City and the Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II dated December 30,
1982. This agreement was further confirmed in paragraph 22 of the Amendment to
Contract of Sale between the City and the Parks of Coppell Joint Venture II dated
January 27, 1987 and by the City's adherence to this agreement with respect to the
improvement of Denton Tap Road. Copies of the pertinent paragraphs are enclosed.
I would also like to point one other requested variance that I failed to include in
the letter of the 19th. The proposed plat contains two intersections with Sandy Lake
Road, which are planned to line up with two existing streets on the south side of
Sandy Lake. Causing the westernmost street to line up results in an odd shaped lot at
the corner.
In the future Sandy Lake in planned to be improved to a median divided street.
However the two existing streets are only about 300' apart, whereas your ordinance
requires 420' of separation between median breaks. If we are going to be required to
align the intersections, we request to have median breaks at both intersections;
otherwise there is no logic to aligning the intersections. Our engineers tell us this
can be safely done in 300'. I know a similar variance was granted with respect to
median breaks in Denton Tap next to the Town Center.
Sincerely,
Ug,iv^est Development Company
