RE: Ashton Ridge Development
Dear Ken:
11 -25 -96 A10:23 IN
I received a call from Mr. Bob Finley, associated with the above referenced development
concerning the erosion control measures taken during construction of the project. Although
Centex still controls the Board of Directors of the Parks of Coppell Homeowners Association, I
cannot give an approval or disapproval of any measures taken to alleviate the erosion of soil into
the Parks of Coppell canal system due to potential legal issues related to the Association.
As a developer and local resident, however, I have inspected the Ashton Ridge site and found that
extensive erosion control fencing has been placed around the project and internal to the
subdivision. I noticed one inlet at the southern portion of the project lacking any trap for silt and
would recommend correcting this. Haybales placed on a temporary basis in the street gutter line
at several locations before surface runoff enters Heartz Road might also be a benefit to trap silt.
Finally, given the volatile situation downstream of this project, I would recommend stabilization
of the lots in the project with vegetative cover as soon as possible to protect the highly erodible
sands from further runoff downstream.
The Association will continue to work with Mr. Finley concerning erosion and runoff from the
Ashton Ridge development over the next several months as resolution to the issues related to the
canal system are resolved in the Parks of Coppell.
If I may be of further assistance, please call.
Sincerely,
CENT HOMES
