Re: Petition (Project # ST-00-03)
I am in favor of eliminating the old fence line scrub brush/tree "screen" as it looks much worse than the
living screen and land berm installed by the Container Store. We do not currently plan on doing a
planting in the area, however, we will review as the construction nears to determine if additional tree
planting is appropriate, or if it would prove redundant with what the Container Store has installed. More
is not always better.
Also, the Container Store will be required to take over the maintenance of the ROW on their property
after the street is improved.

We don't have a set form for a petition. Normally people just write on the top what they are against and get
people to sign. The area in question is in the City's right of way on the west side of Coppell Road from Ruby
Road to Ron Robertson's property. The area on the other side of the trees is the loading dock area for the
Container Store. When that development was approved, they were allowed to use a berm and a living screen
in lieu of a screening wall. The trees to be removed aren't much in the way of aesthetics, but they do screen
the activity at the Container Store. We have had several calls on the same issue.
I'm not sure if Parks is planning to do any type of tree planting once the project is complete. I copied Brad on
this email so he may have some comments.
