Resident alleges unauthorized dirt dumping in Trinity-area floodplain, names local builder
Summary
A Benbrook resident told council he observed repeated dirt dumping in a floodplain area during Phase 4 of a development and identified a contractor he says is responsible; he said he filed a police report and urged council to consider the history as development decisions come before them.
Resident Clint addressed the council with a sustained complaint about work in the Trinity-area floodplain and alleged repeated unauthorized dirt dumping tied to a local builder. "They're dumping dirt again. There is no permit to dump dirt in Phase 4 in the floodplain," Clint said, and named a builder he said supplied most of the dirt: "Brian Irving." He described collecting truck license information, filing a police report and urging council to be mindful of the contractor's conduct as Phase 4 moves through Planning & Zoning and council review.
Clint said he had shown video to city staff and described being told by the contractor's representative that "No. We're not dumping dirt." The comment in the council meeting records reflects Clint's account of staff contact and the foreman's denial; it is an allegation in the public record rather than a verified finding. Council acknowledged receipt of the complaint and staff engagement but no formal staff report or enforcement outcome was presented in the meeting.
