Stringfellow 1R-CS061116 (9/16/2010) Keith Marvin - Re: Fwd: Nationwide Office / 549 E Sandy LakePage 1 From: Keith Marvin To:KINGD5@nationwide.com CC:Engineer; Griffin, Ken; Sieb, Gary Date: 11/16/2006 1:20 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Nationwide Office / 549 E Sandy Lake Mr King, Rick and I have discussed this situation. For clarification, this is a public water line, and it is contained within an appropriate easement. I was not personally aware of it at the time your plans came through our review process, however it does currently serve at least three homes in the area. We are considering ways to remove this line from service, however it is unlikely that we would physically remove the line. We would more likely transfer the homes that are served by the line to newer lines in the front of the houses. Therefore it is unlikely that we would damage the wall by moving the water line. I do have to let you know though, that by constructing this wall within a utility easement there is some degree of risk that the wall could be damaged by work taking place within that easement. While the City of Coppell will take steps to protect that wall while we are working, there are may utility providers that would be permitted to work within that easement that we have very little control over. There should be a paragraph on your plat that describes the rights and responsibilities of all parties relative to this and other easements. Rick and I are interested in this screening situation due to the drainage of the adjacent properties and this water line issue. Our Planning Department would be responsible for the screening from and aesthetic and separation of uses standpoint. Any substitution for this brick wall would need to be discussed with them and may require a revision to your approved site plan. Feel free to call me if you wish to discuss this issue any further.

Rick Odell Rick, Thank you for coming out to my office this morning to take a look at our brick wall situation. As you know while trenching to prepare for installation of this wall a mystery water line was hit that was not on any plans. I understand you met with my builder this morning and you would like us to proceed with the brick wall which we are prepared to do. Once concern I have is that you had mentioned that the water line will probably be moved at some point in the future. I want to make sure that when and if that happens, if our wall is damaged in the process due to the tight quarters in that area, the city will take care of whatever damage might occur to that wall. I met with Greg Jones last week and we discussed possibly using a screening type hedge in lieu of the wall. I know plants would be easier to replace if need be than brick and mortar. We are extremely anxious to complete this project as I know the city is as well. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks.
