Thanks George, I’ll paraphrase the issues and note we’ll provide a scheduling update as soon as
information is known.
The following is my personal opinion, no comment or action is required…
I presume the Lakes of Coppell is a PD and was approved for a Wood Fence of a particular height
along Deforest. The City of Coppell’s street improvements should not yield a benefit to The Lakes
beyond the relocation or replacement of the current improvements (fence). As I see it, the only option
would be for The Lakes to contribute the cost differential between the value of fence replacement and
the design and installation of a masonry wall. Further if the new retaining wall needed to be re-
engineered to carry the gravity load of the masonry, this design and supplemental construction should
also be at their expense.
Observation - Does the HOA installed and maintained fencing extend to the side-yards of the homes
at the corners of Deforest and Lake Forest Drive, and Deforest and Allen Drive, and the back yard
fences of homes on Brentwood that abut Deforest?
Sorry for rambling, I’m on the Coppell Board of Adjustment and a State Code Board, and I’m amazed
when people don’t address such issues sooner in the process.

Mr. Robinson,
I'm sure you are starting to think I am a broken record as far as the time line goes. Today, I don't have a
good idea as far as the beginning of construction. The issue at hand is that the Lakes of Coppell HOA
has requested that the City build a masonry screen wall along the south side of Deforest. This is an
interesting and complicated issue because it is the Lakes of Coppell HOA that originally built and
currently maintains the existing wood fence. The City is looking into some items with our attorney and
will get back with the HOA soon. Once this issue is resolved, we can re-look at the project schedule (If

plan changes are necessary or if we can go out to bid).
As far as Utility relocations go, Time Warner & Verizon are still working. I'm not sure if you were aware
but at the north west corner of the intersection of Deforest & MacArthur the crew working for Verizon
managed to bore into the side of our 30" wastewater force main out of the lift station. They are finishing
up the repair and should be complete sometime next week. I am being told both crews should be
complete within the next month or so.
I appreciate your help with communication. I truly thought this project would have moved faster.
Thank You, George

George,
Thanks for providing updates to Rick Rothwell or myself over the past year+ for Deforest
scheduling updates. We are sharing the updates within our HOA and with other HOA’s on
Deforest.
What are some good talking points for utility and contractor status and, as we get closer to
physical construction and lane closure, what is you best (realistic) estimate for the start of
construction.
We hope that our periodic communications are helping spread the word and limit the repetitive
public requests to your office; at least this is our intent.
Thank you for your continued efforts and any info you can provide.
