Talbott, PE. <br />Harris County Flood Control District <br />9900 Northwest Freeway <br />Houston, Texas 77092 <br /> <br />RE: Regional Drainage and Detention System; Lakes at Fairmont Greens Development; 2000 Block of S. <br />H. 146; La Porte, Texas 77571 . <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Talbott: <br /> <br />In coordination with Mr. Joe Fogarty, agent for The Lakes at Fairmont Greens Residential Development within <br />'the city limits of the City of La Porte, andMr. Herb-Herndon, Watershed Coordinator within your office, the <br />plans and specifications concerning the project's regional drainage and detention system are being reviewed. <br />While the review process for the entire development is ongoing, the City of La Porte approved in concept that <br />the drainage and d<(tention system will be public domain. The issue was heard at the November 6, 2006, City <br />Council meeting workshop. As noted in the attached minutes oftbat meeting, the City Council's consensus was <br />to move forward with accepting, responsibility for the HCFCD portion of Taylor Bayou that impacts this <br />development. In turn, the City of La Porte will transfer future maintenance of the system to the developer and <br />the Public Improvement District The Council will ratify this decision on January 22, 2007. <br /> <br />Through the developer's agreement, and in conjunction with dedications on the final master plat for The Lakes at <br />Fairmont Greens, the City will require dedication of the entire drainage system to the public with the City's right <br />of entry. Our understanding is that HCFCD requires this dedication in order to approve the plans and <br />specifications regarding the drainage and detention systems including the outfall structure accessing HCFCD <br />channels. <br /> <br />The City of La Porte will ensure, through related agreements, the proper construction, per the approved plans <br />and specifications, and future maintenance of the drainage and detention systems. The City requests the <br />procedure to ab~don that portion of the HCPCD AI04 Channel 110' easement bounded by S.H. 146 and <br />McCabe Road within the Lakes at Fairmont Greens Development; and any other documents required for <br />HCFCD approval. Should you have any questions or concerns in this matter; the City's point of contact is <br />Wayne J. Sabo, 281-470-5056. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment: As stated <br /> <br />WJS/ml <br />Cc: Planning Department <br />
