HISTORY: Country Estates was approved as a preliminary plat by the
City Council in 1989, as well as a zoning change from

the area between lots 3 and 4 of Block A, in its natural
condition. The Engineering Department recommends that the
stream be placed in a storm sewer line along a portion of
the property, in order to avoid future erosion problems
along the sides of the channel.
Staff has no objections to the approval of the final plat,
provided:
no parking signs are placed at developers expense
along Harris Road between Brooks Lane and Bethel
School Road
the drainage issue between lots 3 and 4, Block A is

RE: Country Estates
N'DM Job No. 89434-060
Dear Ken,
Thank you for taking thc time to meet with Peter Staks and me to try m resolve our differences regarding our
desire to leave Stream "G 2-A" in a natural condition as it ~ a portion of Country Estates. We
appreciate your position that this proposal deservea a thorough analysis. The following is a surnnmry of steps
we have agreed to take to try to gain your support for our proposal.
I. We will reshape the channel bottom to flatten it's slope, widen the bottom and assure a side
slope of 4:1 or leas. This will reduce the velocity in the channel to less than 5 feet per second.
2. We pFopoac tO sod the channel's sides in any area subject to the 100-year event
(approximately 25' in width for the length of the open area) with Rollie St. Augustine ~
It is our belief that the reshaping and grasafng of the channel will yield a non-cmst~
3. In order to provk~ additional erosion protection at the end of our pipe where thc velocity is
greatest, we propose to place grouted millsap stone in the channel.
4. At our east property line where the improved channel will transition into the natural
channel, we have agreed to increase the width of the floodway area.
5. In order to assure that the City will have no implied maintenance respons~flity relating to
the channel, we have agreed to place a note to that effect on thc plat and to file a deed
restriction that places maintenance responsibility wholly upon thc lot owner.
Ken, Country Estates will offer some of the most atuacxi~ and most eapeasive homes within CoppclL In
order to mnzimi7e thc aesthetic qualities of thi.q subdivision, we think it is of vital importance to presetnn~ this
natural channel and the trees along it.
We understand your position that replacing the channel and trees with a concrete pipe would addres~ the
drainage issue in a virtually maintenance free manner. If this were a tract home subdivision, we would
probably agree with your approach. However, due to the upscale character we are trying the achieve, we
request the latitude to be able to develop a more creative solution.
