RE: RETAINING WALL REQUEST AT 200 BETHEL ROAD, COPPELL, TEXAS
CREEKVIEW ADDITION
Dear Mr. Tanner:
It is my understanding that on July 7, 1987, Shohre Daneshmand of our
office met with you at the above site, as you requested. Shohre indicated
that you are seeking the city's approval of your proposed retaining walls
alonG the north and the west side of your lot. We have also received your
sketches showing where said retaining walls are proposed (see attached).
Additionally as we discussed this morninG, last Monday Roy Brock indicated
to me that he was having Nathan Maier, Consulting EnGineers look at this,
to accommodate your needs. They were the original design engineer.
We offer you the followinG comments, per our preliminary review:
- Conceptually your plan is acceptedable; however, for this type
of improvement to your site we must have engineering
construction plans prepared by a registered engineer in the
State of Texas.
- As part of en§ineering design, the following items need to be
addressed, as a minimum requirement:
(1) Provide a topographical survey map of the site, bearing the
seal of a registered surveyor.
(2) It should be determined by a registered engineer if any of
this activity is within the floodway boundary of Grapevine,
Creek, which would require a hydraulic study of that
section for compliance to the Coppell's Floodplain
ManaGement Ordinance #87390.
(3) Provide structural design plans of the proposed retaining
walls, prepared by a registered structural engineer. Upon
receipt of this plan, those structural plans should be
submitted to BldG. Inspection Department for review and
approval of Dale Jackson, BldG. Official.
- Your proposed retaining wall and part of the proposed floor plan
encroach the existing Drainage Easement. There are two basic
issues to be addressed as follows:
(1) Such an encroachment should be analyzed and proven that it is
justifiable with no adverse impact on the existing drainage
system and the purpose it serves.
(2) Assuming such encroachment is justified, then through a
separate instrument the realignment of the Drainage Easement
should be prepared and requested through you by a registered
surveyor.
Upon receipt of above engineering plans and information, we will
review them and will provide you with our comments and/or approval of
your plans.
It is our intent to work with you on this request and to make sure that
such an improvement complies with the City of Coppell's standards. In
the meantime, if you have any questions, please call Shohre Daneshmand or
mysel~62-O022.//
