Green Crest - Final Plat • 8/18/05 — P & Z Meeting Page 3 of 3 Drainage — The proposed subdivision is designed so that all storm drainage flows directly into the detention pond. Drainage details between the developer, HCFCD, and LPISD have been settled. A 20' utility easement to the north was necessary for its outfall through to the nearest drainage facility on the east of the La Porte School District property. Detention area size and capacity were reviewed to ensure that it will adequately serve the proposed development and accommodate the storm water from the subdivision without burdening the existing system. The developer is responsible for maintenance of all necessary easements required for proper drainage. A note is added on the plat in this regard. It is further added that the maintenance of 20' drainage & utility easement to the north all the way up to the outfall into B 106-05-00 will be the sole responsibility of the HOA. LPISD will be responsible for surface maintenance of an easement on their property. Conclusion and Recommendation: Staff reviewed the Final Plat and found it to be in accordance with the Development Ordinance of the City. Staff recommends approval. The following items need to be addressed prior to the recordation of the Plat: • All construction improvements are complete at site. • Furnish approval letter from the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) for the drop structure through LPISD property on to the Big Island Slough. • Sidewalks shall be installed along both sides of all public streets and along north side of North L Street on the east and towards west end of the subdivision. • Payment of $244.36 shall be made to the City for street sign installation. • Payments of $2,530.00 and $1,896.36 shall be made to the City for streetlights installation and 1-year service cost respectively. • Payment of $9,450.00 shall be made to the City in lieu of parkland dedication. Options available to the Commission are as follows: • Approval of the Final Plat withholding signature and recordation until the above are complied. This will authorize the developer to begin construction of subdivision improvements. • Disapproval of the Final Plat and supporting documents as filed. This will require the developer to file a new Final Plat with the required documents.
