TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
RE: 229 Meadowcreek Road, Lot 16 Block A
Northlake Woodlands/44
This letter is written to discuss the proximity of the existing swimming pool at 229 Meadowcreek
Road to the existing sewer line. When the property was platted, a twenty foot wide sanitary
sewer easement was platted across the property. A 12" sanitary sewer line was built in
approximately the center of the easement in 1967. Based on the best available information, it
appears as though the swimming pool is encroaching between 15 to 17 feet into the twenty foot
sanitary sewer easement and the sewer line is beneath the swimming pool. The construction
plans show the sewer line to be about 8 feet deep.
If at some point in the future the City, had to replace or repair the sewer line, most likely the City,
would follow one of two options: 1) Relocate the entire sewer line further south and opencut and
relay a new sewer line. This would require the dedication of an additional easement further south
of the existing easement. The City typically would not relocate just a portion of the sewer line
but would relocate the entire sewer line. 2) Rehabilitate the sewer line in place. This is
accomplished by the installation of some type of liner placed into the sewer.
Because the twenty foot easement has a sewer line in it that services the houses on
Meadowcreek, the City cannot abandon the sewer line or the sewer easement.
Any questions concerning this sewer line can be directed to Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., City
Engineer, City of Coppell, (214) 393-1016.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
City Engineer
