Dear Mr. Crr~ffin:
It has been more then a year since my last conversation and corresponden;
Dane~hmand concerning the increased erosion due to past activities at No2
Industrial Park. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no response
Thompson to her letter of April 19, 1993.
Siltation and erosion problems have continued. The siltation in the culvert;
Road has increased dramatically and erosion damage is notable. This past
forced to remove a one hundred year old oak tree along the bank of the ch
the east side of my home. How do you place a value on such a loss?

tinage way on
Without follow-up and action the problem will continue to escalate. Culverts will continue
to fill and increasing erosion will cause additional loss and expense. It is beyond my
conception that a developer is allowed to continue his pursuits in Coppell Mth such
disregard for city ordinances and authority. It adds insult to injury when y,~u realize that
the developer of Creekview, once all lots were sold, initiated grading and I~xcavation with
total disregard for his past customers and development. /
I first met with the city engineering staffon November 3, 1992 to survey ~te problem Ms.
Daneshmand's letter to Mr. Thompson, dated December 2, 1992, remindg him of City,
State and Federal Ordinances applicable to this situation and request a me, ~ting to discuss
a course of action. This letter indicates that construction approval expired in September
1990, but actMties continued throughout 1992 without grading permits.
The meeting was finally held in April 1993 and ~5~.sequent correspondenc
requested an Erosion and Sedimentation Cont~ plan be sub~ed by Ma
from the City
1993. /' .
Has this plan been submitted? ff so, what action or follow-up has been taken? Has the
City of Coppell allowed Mr. Thompson and his Associates to continue other
developments? Will the city approve further development by Mr. ThompsOn?
I.
I can only surmise what the answers to these questions will be, but will await your reply.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Bernhard
