RE: Mayor's Meeting with citizens (ref. memo , 1989
No,blake Woodlands East Phase
I wanted you robe aware that Greg Jones in the Building Inspection
Department is currently working on a problem in the drainage
easement at the rear of the property between 612 Bethel School Road
(Fitzgerald) and 615 Briarglen (O'Connell). These homeowners are
among the 60 families invited to attend the Mayor's open meeting
regarding the drainage problems in North Lake Woodlands East.
Briefly, our problem has to do with a fence, landscaping and a
storage building that have been built within the drainage easement
behind 615 Briarglen, and have allegedly caused erosion and damage
to the rear property at 612 Bethel School Road. A survey and
location plan (attached) will show more clearly the overall
problem.
I am also attaching the memo from Mr. Jones to Dale Jackson should
you wish to pass any of this information along.

RE: 612 Bethel School Road - drainage problem
with Tom Fitzgerald after hours on Monday evening

time.
By Tuesday a.m. the survey crew had set the pin and I was
able to sight the rear property line with the aid of the
survey crew. The crew attached 4 sections of range rod
together at the pin, and I was able to sight the rear
property line over the top of the storage building.
I am enclosing a sketch to make my findings clearer as
follows:
1. The fence at 609 Briarglen encroaches
approximately 1' 6" at the rear of 608 Bethel
School Road.
2. The fence and storage building at 615 Briarglen
both encroach 608 Bethel School Road.
3. The fence at 615 Briarglen also encroaches .4'
at the Northwest rear corner of 612 Bethel
School Road.
4. Due to the location of the storage building my
visibility was restricted and I was unable, at
that time, to make any further determination
regarding the problem at 612 Bethel School
Road.

I am drafting letters (attached) to Mr. O'Connell, the
property owner at 615 Briarglen as well as Mr. Frasher,
the owner of 609 Briarglen, informing them of the
encroachment and asking each to take the appropriate
measures to rectify the problem.
We also need to meet with the City Engineer to discuss
if there is any problems that will be associated with the
modifications made to the drainage easement such as the
addition of fill, construction of retaining walls, etc.
that could impair the drainage flow.
