Re: Sewer Easement At Grapevine Creek Crossing
Letter From William B. Johnson
Dear Mr. Griffin:
Mr. Bill Hire and Mr. William Brown, the men that are
doing the microtunnelling on the above project reported that
only one small Elm tree was taken out and that the only
ground cover they removed was briars and weeds. These are
men of integrity and have no reason to misrepresent what was
done.
I walked this area with Mr. Hite and with the inspector,
Mr. Campbell, and did not see the several trees or the
ground cover as indicated by Mr. Johnson's letter. The fact
that we went to considerable expense to build a bridge,
rather than slope the banks of the creek, bares out the fact
that we are conscientious about our work and considerate of
others.
I fully intend to do what is right. I will certainly
replace the 3" Elm tree that has been reported by Mr. Hite
and Mr. Brown, but am not obligated to replace what we did
not remove.
If the City wants to go beyond the call of duty and
furnish any additional trees and/or ground cover, we will
cooperate and assist in planting, but not furnishing, any
additional trees and ground cover.
