La Porte Golf Community SCU#04-012 July 15, 2004 Page 6 of7 e e Detention; 1. Ensure that lake/detention areas are continuous. Provide wrought iron fencing to prevent free movement of pedestrian traffic between the golf course and the subdivision. Install wrought iron fencing along the rear of each lot overlooking the golf course/detention lake area or between detention lakes and golf course, or other fencing alignment/material approved by City Staff. 2. Size outflow piping so that water is retained sufficiently to prevent flooding on the golf course or the subdivision 3. Discuss rounding right angle corners of detention areas, (possibly utilizing City-o~ned land to do so); this will increase detention capacity for the lake system. 4. Maintenance of detention, down to the water level, should be determined in the development agreement. 5. Outflow is needed to gain access to reserve 'Z', which is not owned by the applicant. Total volume should be in line with the recommendations by the Taylor Bayou study. Parks. trails. and landscaping: 1.
