WHITE ROAD (SOUTH 2 12/11/84 C-8756 LANE) - SYLVAN DRIVE TO NEWPORT ROAD lot City Council action is requested on Project No. 29-024313-00, as described below Street Limits John T. White Sylvan Drive Ro ad (South Lane) to Newport Road Roadway Width-Feet 1 2 of Double 36' Roadway W/28' Median R.O.W. Width-Feet 120 Origin of Project In May, 1975, John T. White Road was improved on the assessment basis from Randol Mill Parkway eastward to Sylvan Drive as a double 36' wide roadway and from Sylvan Drive eastward to the east property Line of Lot 19, Block C, Bentley Village Addition as a single 36' wide roadway, being the north lane of a future double 36' wide roadway. The above improvements were initiated by Community Facilities Agreement No. 8052, dated September 5, 1974. The south lane of John T. White Road from Sylvan Drive eastward was to be constructed as development required. Lot 1-R, Block K, Bentley Village Addition is now being developed on the south side of John T. White Road from just west of Sylvan Drive eastward approximately 904 feet to Newport Road. On February 12, 1982, Dalworth Development Company, a Texas Partnership, owners of subject property, signed a paving petition by which they agreed to improve the south~lan,e of John T. White Road on the assessment basis at such time as traffic warrants. The owners are now in the final stages of developing the lot with a rather large apartment complex which will generate sufficient traffic to require the roadway. There is also a drainage problem which can only be corrected by constructing the roadway. Based on the recom- mendation of the Transportation and Public Works Department, the City Council on January 3, 1984 (M&C G-5867), authorized the design and advertisement of the project. Improvements This segment of John T. White Road will be improved with 7-inch reinforced concrete pavement with concrete curb as well as turn lanes and median openings where required to match the existing north lane. Storm drain facilities consist of two curb inlets with tie-in pipe.
