Dear Mr. Doyle:
I am glad to see the construction of Denton Tap progress.
One of the unfortunate by-products of this construction is
the destruction of existing properties. Your staff has
recommended that I contact you since you represent the city
in dealing with the contractor(s).
The particular instance I am talking about is on the
southwest corner of the Denton Tap and Bethel School
intersection. At that corner the developer of Shadowridge
Estates built a brick planter several years ago. The
residents of the area have worked with the developer to
ensure that planter was properly landscaped and maintained.
This took a lbt of effort, but did pay off as the developer
has maintained the landscaping and even added an sprinkler
system.
As the construction of Denton Tap has proceeded, I've
noticed that the construction crews dumped a large amount of
dirt on this particular planting, probably killing all the
shrubs (Nana Nandinas and Crepe Myrtles). They also removed
one of the valve boxes for the sprinkler system.
I would assume that the contractor(s) plans to cleanup the
dirt, replant the the planter with high quality plants, and
verify that the sprinkler system works. As a representative
of the City of Coppell, I ask you to ensure that these
action items are in the plan for the project and they are
actually completed.
Please let me know if the contractor(s) are taking care of
this. Thank you.
