Dear Mr. Langford:
I dropped off 8-1/2 x 11" xerox copies of the "As Built" plans
to your office the morning of December 28, 1988. As we have
discussed with Steve Stolte, Mr. Gilbert L.Welsh has indicated
that there is a clear responsibility for drainage by Shadow
Ridge Estate, 2nd Increment, of the rear portion of lot(s) that
front on "K" Street more particularly the Gilbert H. Welsh lot
(412 "K" Street}. Mr. Welsh further states that the contours of
the land while flat in nature still drained well toward the
north and northwest before Shadow Ridge Estates, 2nd Increment
was built.
The "As Built" drawings appear to confirm that assertion. The
drainage area plan (copy of part attached) indicates that the
Spanish Moss Court Watershed encompasses not only the lots
within the development but some 8-10 feet outside of the
development's property line. That appears to indicate that the
flow of water from those "K" Street lots should be accommodated
in the drainge plan of the Shadow Ridge Estates, 2nd Increment
subdivision.
As I visited with you and Steve Stolte, I tried to have you
become sensitive to Mr Gilbert L. Welsh's circumstances and
situation and we seek from you, as a good neighbor, a resolution
to the situation is an expeditious manner as possible for Mr.
Welsh.
Enclosed is a packet of information transferred to me in
September of this year when I work with Mr Ron Fart, City
Building Inspector, and Tom Lych of your company at the request
of Mr. Farr. You recently mentioned that someone in Public
Works was consulted and things were worked out a while back. I
am not aware of any activity other than the enclosed information
just mentioned. Please provide me with copies of any other
agreements or "As builts" etc. not included here.

I would like to continue to work toward a practical solution
reGardinG this situation with you and as of our last contact you
were §oin§ to search for the information you have, similar to
what I have enclosed, if not the same.
During the last rain fall, water ponded with some depth in Mr.
Welsh's back yard in and around the fence separating the lots
and at some distance from the fence.
While, as a professional employed for the City of Coppell, I can
not totally confirm Mr. Welsh's statements regarding the
drainage prior to development; the information available to me
as enclosed appears to provide some relatedness of your
subdivision to the drainage of Mr. Welsh's lot.
We look forward to your continued investigation of the matter
and review of the situation so that you can get back to me
somewhat immediately in hopes that you can provide or resolve
this matter, acceptable to both parties.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and cooperation even
though the situation did occur before your working in this
development. I will continue to closely monitor this work and if
you care for any assistance and/or other information, please
advise. I will contact you the first of next week.
Thank you.
Sincer~

Re: Kaye Street Drainage Improvements
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
We have completed our review and follow-up on the drainage
improvements on the lots along Spanish Moss which were impacting
the Kaye Street residents.
Per the City's request, the owners have re-graded lots 44 through
51 to accommodate the Kaye Street residences. These lots were
graded to drain from back to front (ie., South to North)
beginning from the lowest point of adjoining property lines with
.Kaye Street.
We would like to point out that these improvements address
drainage at the adjacent property line. Off-site problems such
as low spots on a Kaye Street re$ident's property would be their
responsibility.
We have forwarded this information to Dale Jackson for filing,
noting that future construction activities should be reviewed
with respect to maintaining positive drainage.
If you have any questions, please call our office.

Re: Kaye Street/Spanish Moss Drainage Improvements
Dear Mr. Jackson:
I am sending you the as-built information on the drainage
improvements for lots 44 through 51 located on the south half of
Spanish Moss.
These lots have been graded to drain from the back to the front.
In reviewing the information furnished, it appears that positive
drainage has been established. However, we would like to point
out that any proposed construction be reviewed with sensitivity
to work (such as fence building across these swells) which may
impede drainage.
If we can be of further assistance, please call our office.
