RE, SH 26 WIDENING PROJECT — Texas Department of Transportation
Right -of -Way Acquisition from Mustang Square Shopping Center
3105 Ira E Woods Avenue
Dear Mr. Cooper-
This letter is a follow up to our telephone conversation on March 22, 2007. You
have asked what the City's position would be relative to the right -of -way
acquisition of from 30.58 feet to 37.57 feet of frontage from your property
addressed as 3105 Ira E Woods Avenue.
It is the policy of the City of Grapevine to consider properties affected by right -of-
way acquisitions as legal conforming uses in situations like yours. Therefore, the
City would continue now and in the future, to consider your property as a legal
conforming use for zoning and development purposes.
rely,
of Williams

lights and extensive landscaping on the property.
Physical Condition:
Good. The property has been well maintained. No significant items of
deferred maintenance were noted.
