Consider approval of a license agreement between the City of Coppell and John
Barry concerning encroachments into an existing easement adjacent to Lot 4,
Block C of the Pecan Ridge Estates subdivision (339 Tanglewood); and
authorizing the City Manager to sign.
Mr. and Mrs. Barry recently contacted the City concerning the encroachment of their pool into an
existing 1 O-foot drainage and utility easement on their property at 339 Tanglewood Lane. Mr. and
Mrs. Barry are in the process of selling their property and relocating out of state. Because of the
encroachment of the pool in the drainage easement, the realtor has some concern whether or not
the property could be marketed. As is often the case, the pool was built after the construction of
the house and installation of the fence, within the confines of the fenced backyard. However, it
did place the pool squarely within the city's 10-foot drainage and utility easement.
The city has a 42" RCP stormdrain within the drainage and utility easement. Therefore,
abandonment of the easement or a portion of the easement is not an option. The pool and the 42"
RCP stormdrain currently co-exist within the easement and to remove the pool from the easement
is mostly likely not a realistic approach.
The Barry's purchased the property in 2003 and at that time the pool and encroachment were
existing. As a matter of fact, unknown to the city, apparently this issue surfaced in 1997. At that
time, there was a letter written by Ron Robertson, with Robertson Pools and Spas, to the realtor,
Mike Rohland, concerning the encroachment at 339 Tanglewood and stating that Robertson Pools
would be responsible for any repairs to the pool that may be caused by any repair work to the
stormdrain line within the easement area. The letter from Mr. Robertson was written in response
to a survey of the property on November 17, 1997, which showed the encroachment of the pool
within the existing easement.
The license agreement before you this evening is an irrevocable license, which will allow the pool
to remain within the existing easement perpetually. In paragraph i0 of the license agreement
there are three instances where the agreement could be terminated. Those include a) written
agreement o£both parties; b) by the city upon failure of the licensee to perform obligations; and c)
by the city abandoning any interest in the existing utility and drainage easement.
"CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
Because of the existing 42" RCP, option 'c' would never be invoked. Therefore, there is not a
foreseeable situation which would cause the pool to be removed from the easement or the
easement to be abandoned.
Staff recommends approval of the license agreement between the City of Coppell and John Barry
to allow for the encroachment of an existing swimming pool within an existing 1 O-foot drainage
and utility easement.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
