Gary,
The tree retribution calculations on the plan are incorrect I phoned Joe Grubbs the landscape architect
that prepared the plans & calculation to discuss how he came up with the numbers He informed me that
he had only considered the trees that would be removed for the streets only No consideration was given
to the trees that would be removed to build the houses, or to fill in the creek on lots #16 & #17
I have calculated the retribution numbers based on trees that will be in the way of the construction of the
street, grade issues, as well as the foot-print of each house They are as follows:
total protected trees on site
total protected trees to be removed
gross retribution
preservation credit (705 / 1959)
landscape credit (13 x 4 x 50%)
1959"(DBH)
705"(DBH)
1254"(DBH)
36% -451"(DBH)
-26"(DBH)
Net Retribution
777"(DBH)
x~100.00
$77,700
Contribution to City of Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas Fund in the amount of $77,700
Thank You

Gary:
1 On the plat, the portion of the floodplain between Lots 16 & 17 is noted as being removed from the
floodplain but retained as a drainage easement Please explain
2. A preliminary grading plan was requested and provided however, Only proposed grades for the street
are shown Additional information regarding the amount of fill in the floodplain areas is also needed, as
well as how each of the individual lots are proposed to drain
3 As stated before, no development can occur/n the floodplain areas until a flood study is submitted for
review and all of the appropriate FEMA approvals are obtained
