RE: License Agreements for Deforest Road Right-of-Way
Dear Mr. Patel:
It was recently brought to my attention that in 1999 an ordinance was passed by the City
of Coppell that incorporated the excess 10 feet of Deforest Road into the landscape area
of Windsor Estates. The confusion concerning the excess 10 feet arose because in 2001
the developer for Windsor Estates filed an incorrect plat. The plat filed in 2001 shows
the 10 feet as excess right-of-way. However, the exhibits attached to the 1999 ordinance
approved by Council clearly show that the 10 feet of excess right-of-way was part of the
landscape area of Windsor Estates.
1 have contacted our attorney's office for an opinion on this situation. At this point 1
~'..~1~",~~ l~J~ ~'~p~s the license' agreement
'~c~ lipprog~d by Council in 2003 or if the filing of an incorrect plat in 2001 negates
the 1999 ordinance: Needless to say, this is a complicated matter at this time, therefore 1
have requested that the Building Inspections Department not issue any permits for fences
or work in the disputed area I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you at
this time, however until this matter is resolved, no work can be permitted within the 10
feet of disputed right-of-way of Deforest Road
Sincerely,
