Dear Mr. Doyle:
I am glad to see the construction of Denton Tap progress.
One of the unfortunate by-products of this construction is
the destruction of existing properties. Your staff has
recommended that I contact you since you represent the city
in dealing with the contractor(s).
The particular 2nstance I am talking about is on the
southwest corner of t~e Denton Tap and Bethel school
intersection. At that corner the developer of Shadowridge
Estates built a brick planter several years ago. The
residents of the area have worked with the developer to
ensure that planter was properly landscaped and maintained.
This took a lot of effort, but did pay off as the developer
has maintained the landscaping and even added an sprinkler
system.
As the construction cf Denton Tap has proceede~, I've
noticed that the construction crews dumped a large amount of
dirt on this particular planting, probably killing all the
shrubs (Nana Nandinas and Crepe Myrtles). They also removed
one of the valve boxes for the sprinkler system.
I would assume that the contractor(s) plans to cleanup the
~irt, replant the the planter with high quality plants, and
verify that the sprinkler system works. As a representative
of the City of Coppell, I ask you to ensure ~hat these
action items are in the plan for the project and they are
actually completed.
Please let me know if the contractor(s) are taking care of
~his. Thank you.
