RE: Common Area south of Copperstone Addition
Dear Mr. Clack:
Thank you for meeting with myself, Garreth Campbell, the residents and Homeowner's
Association representatives of the Copperstone Addition regarding the common area/floodplain
on the south side of the Coppertone Addition.
The first item discussed was concerning the normal pool elevation of the pond located on the
southwest corner of the development. As was explained, since the development of the lots in
the Copperstone Addition the normal pool elevation of the pond has risen such that it now
ponds water to the south behind homes in the Villages of Cottonwood Creek Section IV.
Before the development of Copperstone, the residents stated they never had water ponding
behind their homes.
It was decide at the meeting that the normal pool elevation that the pond had prior to the
development of Copperstone needs to be maintained. A survey of the perimeter of the pond on
the south and east side will need to be completed to determine the normal pool elevation.
Once the elevations are determined per the survey, an estimate of the normal pool elevation
along with an elevation provided on the City's 1992 topographic maps can be determined. Our
goal is to lower the elevation of the east perimeter of the pond such that it is lower than the
south perimeter. By doing this, the water will drain to the east instead of ponding to the south
behind the homes, in the Village at Cottonwood Creek IV.
Another issue discussed at the meeting was regrading the two storm drainage outfalls to allow
proper drainage. It was discussed that it may be necessary to survey possible routes of the
grading to ensure that once graded the storm drainage systems would drain. Also, it was noted
that there was not going to be any reseeding/resodding of any areas, which are graded, but
erosion control measures would be required as per the City's ordinances and standards.
Please provide a cost for the items listed below. The cost should include surveying and
erosion control measures as previously mentioned.
Establish the normal pool elevation for the pond based on a determined elevation as
described earlier so that the water will drain east instead of ponding behind the homes in
Villages of Cottonwood Creek Section IV. Cost $
Regrade the two (2) storm drainage outfalls on the south side of the Copperstone Addition
located between Lots 16 & 17, Block E and Lots 21 & 22, Block E such that they drain as
previously described. Cost $
If you should have any questions concerning this issue please contact Garreth Campbell or me
at 972/304-3679.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Martin, P.E.
Asst. City Engineer
