Mr. Sheaffer; - .
In self-defense I must point out sc. vr>r.~l discrepancies noted
your Certified mailing Uo. P08-{ in8 H.{(~.
~1.I did talk to you abo~t w~.~t ] v:.~t.:~d to do. ¥,~u sa]d "'~o
I placed concrete across t~r~ %-~..~;hout to control it. You
about the way it looked, so I brought in a large backhoe and re-
moved what you requested me to remove at that time at my expense.
~2. You placed or allowed to be placed the brick, concrete, stone scrap,
and other debris generated from the addition to your house onto the
drainage easement. It is there today contributing to "eyesore" You
deposited the excavated dirt from your pool onto the easement. You
raised the elevation of the easement tc improve your backya~'d. The
easement is on your property, not on my property. Are you willing to
remove the illegally placed fill from the easement to have the same
elevation along the easement that existed when you bought your house?
%3. Your evaluation of homes in the area is much higher than the DCAD
appraisals. I called the city tax dept. today for the DCAD appraisals
They were as follows: 150 Maywood Circle-- $174,940
148 ...... 171,250
140 .... -- 161,300
152 Meadowcreek -- 131,260
!49 " -- 147,580
~4. My property has been improved and is in better condition today
than when you bought your house. The creekbed is no worse today.
~5. You have not cooperated with me on any improvement done to the
creekbed. You did not pay for your part per our verbal agreement.
I have discussed with you before that a drop inlet on our property
line would be the permanent resolution. You have never agreed to
cooperate in this resolution.
%6. Your lot is at the Iow end of a drainage area. The City of Coppell
has made, and allowed to be made, improvements that divert more
runoff water through my property. The 7 inches of rain in a d8 hour
period in mid May producedL~'~{~ ..... runof~ than ever bede~.._ I have
done what was necessary to handl~ a-~] control this
runof{ through ..... . ~
part of Bethel School Road ~-]~ b~'on ~]~vorted onto my
I am willing to cooperate with you and tho City of Coppell to improve
the drainage along our property line. Do you want to regrade the
easement to the original elevation that will remove part of your
backyard and watch it wash away or do you want to proceed with a
better plan that will improve?

The permanent reso_ cion is a drop inlet to wi .stand the force of
fast moving water making a sudden drop.There is 35' drop in elevation
from the north side of my property to the culvert under Headowcreek
Road. The most sudden drop has always been behind Hr. Sheaffer's lot.
