Tree Replacement 192 Plantation T H E C 1 T Y O F COPPELL T %rimy;, A 8 , MEMORANDUM TO: Clay Phillips, City Manager FROM: Ken Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works DATE: 10/12/12 REF: 192 Plantation tree removal On October 1, 2012 we received a phone call from the homeowner at 192 Plantation Dr. (Shadow Ridge Estates) stating that a tree had been removed from their property. This property backs up to the Red Hawk development off of Bethel School and Denton Tap Rd. In between the two properties there is a pilot channel in a drainage easement that lies entirely on the properties of Shadow Ridge Estates. The tree was planted in the drainage easement of the pilot channel approximately 12 years ago. Over the recent months we have received numerous complaints regarding standing water and mosquitos in this pilot channel. The main reason for the standing water is the lack of maintenance of the pilot channel by the homeowners which has caused sedimentation, scouring and erosion of the channel. Our street/drainage crew was asked to repair the erosion and remove the sediment so that the pilot channel can function properly. In order to do so they needed to get equipment down into the channel. They felt that there was a good opportunity and access point just off of Bethel School at the bridge to get down there with their equipment. In doing this, they removed a 20+ foot tall Deodora Cedar tree that was planted there by the homeowner. The homeowner is upset and would like to be compensated for the damage. She has provided us with a quote of$3,450.47, to replace the tree. FROM : PHONE NO. : Oct. 05 2012 03:08PM P1 192 PLANTATION DR.

This price includes planting, delivery, and a 1 year warranty. The problem is, the farm does not have it in stock and advised us that it may be very hard to find and may take a long time to receive. Our tree was 22' tall and this is the closest we can get to that height. I cannot find any tree farm that has a Cedrus Deodara tree in stock and most farms cannot get one in comparable to height. Please see faxed quote from WW Tree Farm. So far, this is the lowest quote that I have received. Please call me as soon as you have time after sharing this information with Mr. Griffin. Thank you.
