<br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 <br />for those drainageways where agreements may not already exist an <br />which are of critical importance to the City. These agreements w <br />establish minimal acceptable levels of maintenance, where the Ci <br />permission, under appropriate limitations and constraints, to pe <br />such maintenance for an agreed upon compensation or other <br />considerations. <br />4)Coordinate with HCFCD to jointly fund and develop mutually benef <br />flood control projects within the City. <br />5)Eliminate or minimize exceptions that allow development to occur <br />the floodplain. Development exceptions should meet the specifica <br />identified in the Citywide Drainage Study. <br />6)Consider enclosing certain segments of the drainage ditches for <br />recreational amenity, such as trail space, greenways, and landsc <br />7)Evaluate the requirements and standards for on-site detention in <br />a minimum site threshold, exemptions for sustainable practices, <br />placement, design, and function of basins and other improvements <br />8)Consider modifying the Public Improvement Criteria Manual (PICM) <br />stormwater design to incentivize or require, rat <br />playgrounds, ballfields, miniparks, required green spaces, etc. <br />9)Facilitate the joint use of regional detention whereby there can <br />cost-share arrangement and agreement among multiple properties a <br />owners. <br />10)Pursue loan or grant funding from the Texas Water Development Bo, <br />to implement flood <br />control improvement projects within the City. <br />11)Revise the standards and specifications for drainage features to <br />correspond with development character expressed by this plan. Fo <br />instance, suburban development requires a high percentage of open <br />space (either by way of larger lots or larger common areas), whi <br />for on-site collection, infiltration, and positive surface (natu <br />This contrasts with a more densely developed urban character that <br />requires an underground stormwater drainage system. <br />12)Require riparian buffers along stream and drainage ways to incre <br />filtration and improve water runoff quality. <br />13)Encourage a <br />development runoff conditions using development types with open <br />space preservationsuch as cluster developments. This provides <br />necessary density for developers in exchange for conserving site <br />resources and preserving sufficient land for stormwater collecti <br />detention/retention. <br />14)Periodically update the Citywide Drainage Study to reflect chang <br />conditions. <br />3.6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
