Lake Level Agreement by and between
Authority and the City of Coppell.
Metrocrest Hospital
Staff has reviewed the referenced item and believes it is excessive.
The city's obligation is beyond the scope which staff feels is
acceptable.
The maintenance obligations of the city regarding items 1, 2 & 3
on page 2 and 3 are reasonable and for the most part subjective.
However item 4 addresses specific lake levels which staff doesn't
believe the city should obligate itself to maintaining. It is
appreciated that the authority is willing to construct a water well
if excessive treated water is required to maintain the lake level
range.
Treated water from the city's potable water system doesn't lend
itself to amphibian and aquatic habitat.
Staff would recommend that if the water shed isn't sufficient to
maintain the lake level range desired then a water well be constructed
at the time the lake is being built in order to ensure a constant
level range. This is similar to what was done at the Lakes of
Coppell.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance please
advise.
