Underwood Business Park seup #06-002 6/15/06 P&Z Meeting Page 2 of3 Conclusion/ Recommendation north of this development. In addition, the Battleground Industrial District - Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of La Porte is located north of State Highway 225. Transportation - The project is located near State Highway 225 and Battleground Road, a primary arterial and major truck route. As a result, this project provides more than adequate accessibility for circulation of traffic. All traffic entering/existing will be through Porter Road along Old Underwood Road. There should be very limited impact on traffic flow within the vicinity, even after full implementation of the said business park. In addition, the traffic shall not be directed south of Underwood Road. Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be an obstacle to this type of development. Utilities and Drainage - Public facilities and services are sufficient to handle the supply of potable water, but require upgrading for fire protection in the area. In addition, provisions must be made to ensure sufficient utility extensions are provided to serve this development. Storm water drainage will be managed by on-site detention to mitigate any adverse impacts associated with this proposed development. Staff feels that the project has potential and would make a significant impact on economic development within the City of La Porte.
