They should not be released for recordation until such time as the City Attorney deems them to be satisfactory in terms of form and content. No building permit for the project should be approved or released until the approved covenants have been filed for recordation with Harris County Deed Records. Public Services The proposed project shall be served by the City water and sewer system and fire hydrants shall be installed at such locations as necessary to provide fire protection. Proposed utility connections shall be subject to approval by the Director of Planning. As has been noted, prior to final approval of the project, a Minor Development Site Plan must be prepared and submitted to the City for review and approval. Specific utility connection points will be evaluated as part of the site plan review. For the purposes of this report, however, staff would note the following: • Sanitary sewer, in adequate capacity to serve the facility, is available from the adjacent Brookglen Subdivision. As proposed, sewer demand from the facility will not impact the ability to provide service to future R-2 development in the area. • Potable water is not readily available, but can be extended to serve the site. Although they can be handled under the umbrella of a single request, what in essence will be two separate extensions will be required. The first will make water available by extending water along the Fairmont Parkway property face. The second extension will be for the purpose of providing internal fire protection to the facility. This extension must run north from Fairmont Parkway and will ultimately have one or more fire hydrants installed on it. The line and hydrants must be located within a dedicated utility easement. The easement should extend through the full depth of the tract. This is for the purpose of providing access for future water and fire protection to adjacent undeveloped property located both within and outside the boundaries of the subject tract. Roadways Private roadways within the project shall have an improved surface to twenty four feet (24') or more in width and shall be so designed as to permit the City fire trucks to provide protection to each building. No portion of this required twenty four foot (24') road system may be used in calculating . required off-street parking space or be used for parking. As presently designed, there are no private roads within the facility's perimeters. The northern portion of the tract is to remain undeveloped at this time. Future access must, however, be provided for as part of the facility's initial design
