Dear Mr. Walsh:
In response to the three items of inquiry you addressed to the
Director of Public Works in your letter dated August 11, 1990, I
offer the following:
The brick planter which was removed from the southeast corner of
Denton Tap and Bethel School Road was an amenity installed by the
developer and was to be maintained by the developer. The City of
Coppell's policy on maintenance of such amenities is that the
Homeowners Association takes over the maintenance when the
developer abandons those duties. This planter however posed
another dilemma consequently placed the responsibility of
maintenance on the adjacent land owner by City ordinance. The
ordinance which is also the answer to your second inquiry states
that the property owner adjacent to any street or alley right-of-
way is responsible for maintaining up to 15 feet outside their
property line.
Please note that I have attached a copy of the letter City staff
submitted to Ms. Bellington several months back advising the
Homeowners Association of Staff's recommendation as well as the
result of our consulting engineer's review.
The street lights on the bridge on Bethel School Road were
previously the responsibility of the Parks Division and have been
reassigned to the Streets Division for maintenance. I will be
looking into the cause of the-power outage in the near future.
Should you care to discuss these matters with me, please don't
hesitate to contact me at 462-8495.
Sincerely~----~,
Fer H. Bir~sa~
Street Superintendent
