RE:
Fellowship Church - Fellowship Lakes
Tree Survey & Mitigation
Dear Ms. Roy:
Fellowship Church, through their representatives, Graham Assodiates, Inc., Beck Construction,
Beck Architecture, and Mesa Design Group met with the City of Coppell, Planning Department
to discuss construction of the above referenced project on Monday, November 19, 2001. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss City requirements of tree rn~tigation and land platting.
A complete tree inventory survey has been accomplished for the construction site and was
presented to staffduring this meeting. The inventory survey demonstrated the areas impacted by
the construction activities. The areas that have been deternlined to be exempt from tree
mitigation are the lakes, dam, spillway, and the proposed soccer fields on the north side of
Cottonwood Branch.
The area determined to not be exempt of tree mitigation is the spoil site on the south side of
Cottonwood Branch, north of Bass Pro-Bethel School Road. This area was chosen to receive
earth spoil from the lake excavation because of minimal impact tO the trees on site, and because
it is the future location of baseball, football, soccer, tennis courts, and basketball court areas.
The topsoil in this area will be striped in advance of the spoil operation, and replaced over the
top of the spoil to facilitate re-vegetation of the site.
Mesa Design Group has been authorized to proceed with formal submittal of the tree survey, tree
mitigation, Developmental Plan, and Landscape Plan to be processed through Planning and
Zoning Commission at their earliest convenience.
Graham Associates, Inc. has been working with Public Works to obtain approval of engineering
construction documents since early July of this year. Graham Associates, Inc. also has been
authorized to proceed with platting of the property, as required, during construction.
