Re' Lot 55, Block ~ , Creekview Addition
Dear Mr. Griffin-
I live at 149 Glendale, Coppell, Texas. My wife and I would like
to build a pool. My understanding is that the City of Coppell has a
water easement on the above-described property.
I further understand that for the construction of the pool to
begin, the City of Coppell needs to abandon this water easement.
I am asking for your assistance. If this letter will not suffice,
please send me any paper work needed so we can begin the process, If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. My office
number is (214)999-7264 and my home number is (972) 462-8026.
Sincerely,

RE: Brokers Opinion of Utilitly. Easement
149 Glendale, Coppell, TX
Dear Sirs,
Please reference the attached survey plat of the subject property, I
have determined that there is no market value to the water ease-
ment that runs along the back perimeter of the property. This is
primarily due to the fact that this easement runs along the perime-
ter of the property that backs up to the railroad tracks, therefore it
has no valued usage.
The easement is not in use by any utility company at this time as
they have found alternate routes for this subdivision.
Sincerely,
attachment

We have received a request from a property owner to abandon an easement behind their
home. The city had no use for the easement and we have received letters from the utility
companies saying they have no problem with the abandonment. The property owner has
received an appraisal from RE/MAX stating that there is no market value on the easement.
Attached is an ordinance we have prepared please review for the February 8a City Council
meeting.
If you have any question~ please give me a call et 972/304-368t.
