Summary
A Coppell resident told the commission her garage and multiple nearby garages nearly flooded during a recent heavy rain; commissioners advised she also present to city council or meet with city engineering for a technical response; staff said the drains exceeded capacity during the event.
A Coppell resident told the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 17 that repeated street flooding on Heather Glenn nearly inundated several homes during a storm on June 3.
"I'm here to voice my concerns about the flooding that we have on our street and, on June 3 we got 2.8 inches of rain and 3 of our homes almost flooded during that rain. My garage flooded," Kimberly Harold said, identifying herself as a 23-year Coppell resident living at 104 Heather Glenn Drive.
Commissioners and staff advised next steps for the resident to get a technical response. "You can also go directly to the city. You don't necessarily have to wait for a city council meeting. You can schedule a meeting with, you know, engineering at the city," a commissioner told Harold. Harold said she had already contacted the city and was told the drains had exceeded capacity during that storm, but that the flooding happens with most rains.
No formal action was taken by the commission on the matter; commissioners encouraged the resident to follow up with the city’s engineering department or bring the concern to the city council for further review.
