Page 2 of 4 <br />• Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes of May 20, 1993 <br />He noted that staff had met with the owners and engineers and it was decided that <br />the owner would redraw the plat to show residential zoning instead of commercial <br />zoning up to SH 146. <br />The applicant has submitted a revised plat which reflects changes to meet staffs <br />comments from the original plat. All of the items staff had commented on have been <br />addressed. In addition, staff has requested a report regarding the lagoons as they <br />relate to storm water detention. Staff recommends approval of the Bayou Forest <br />Phase III General Plan subject to the issue of the lagoons being addressed. <br />A. PROPONENTS <br />Ed Cooke, Owner <br />Jim Gartrell, Engineer <br />B. OPPONENTS <br />• There were none. <br />Jim Gartrell stated that initially the lagoons would be stocked with large -mouthed <br />bass, blue catfish, sunfish, and minnows. The lagoons are to look irregular and will <br />be mowed by the property owner all the way down to the water. <br />Chairman Waters asked if the lagoons (those located on the same side as Taylor <br />Bayou) drain into Taylor Bayou. Mr. Gartrell stated that the lagoons will be at a <br />higher elevation than Taylor Bayou. When the lagoons fill up, they will drain <br />through an 18" exchange pipe into Taylor Bayou. When Taylor Bayou reaches its <br />limits, the water will pass this subdivision. The lagoons are required to hold an <br />approximate 6" rainfall. <br />Chairman Waters asked who is going to be responsible over the years for keeping the <br />lagoons dredged so their depth may be maintained. Mr. Gartrell stated they <br />anticipate overdredging the bottom of the lagoon by 2 feet. This would hold the <br />settlement for the first 12-15 years. When necessary, a grade -all could be driven <br />along the banks to dredge up the settlement and be loaded in a dump truck. This <br />activity will be the responsibility of the Homeowner's Association. Mr. Gartrell said <br />he would suggest the subdivision maintain a Homeowner's Association and a <br />Maintenance Committee, with the Maintenance Committee controlling the money. <br />to <br />
