Subject: St. Joseph Village Development
Dear Mr. Sieb:
I met with Mr. Mike Millican yesterday regarding the proposed development of the St. Joseph
Village in the City of Coppell. The development is proposed on property south of Sandy Lake
Road and adjacent to a City of Irving easement for a 54-inch diameter water pipeline. The City
of Irving has several issues that it would like addressed before the plat is approved:
We do not allow placement of permanent structures within our easement due to
maintenance concerns. Current design drawings show some of the building footprints on the
northeast part of the property inside our easement.
We would like to obtain an additional 10 feet of permanent easement or at least a similar
building setback requirement from our 20 feet wide permanent easement through the current
City of Coppell property on the northeast comer (See attached easement drawing). Our
easement was limited to 20 feet in width on the City of Coppell tank site because we thought
we would always have a development buffer here and could work with the City of Coppell
to obtain additional temporary working space in this area if it was ever needed.
We are very concerned that buildings are now planned right up to the edge of our easement
and would be only abo.ut.6 feet from our pipe trench. A pipe break in this area could have a
.,,.,: .- l,.;;]~,in ~,~ .... ;.: ...... ~,,._ . . .
takes to dig the pipe up and make any repairs. This problem Will be made worse if the
developer places additional fill over the pipeline and makes the pipeline even deeper.
We have a butterfly valve manhole and an air relief valve manhole located in the proposed
development roadway. These structures are not rated for traffic loading and can not be
placed in a road as presently designed. The manholes also can not be moved unless the
pipeline is moved. The City would consider having the pipeline moved outside of the new
development road (i.e. straightened out), but not at our expense.
· We will need to review and approve the design detail for the stormwater pipe crossing of
our pipeline.

Any air relief or blow off valve manholes adjacent to the proposed Star Leaf Road will
need to be raised by the developer to the proposed grade. We will review and approve the
design details.
These are very important issues to us and we would tike to see them addressed so that the
pipeline's integrity is maintained and the risk of any future problems are reduced. Please call me
if you have any questions or need further clarification of our concerns.
