e e CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM MARCH 16, 1990 SUBJECT: Planning and Zoning Commission Joel H. AlbreCh~ector of Community Development International Cargo Network, Inc., Preliminary Drainage and Utility Report TO: FROM: I have reviewed the preliminary drainage and utility plan for the proposed I.C.N. Development and find them, as preliminary plans, to be satisfactory. Drainaae: The storm water drainage system capacity for this complex is based on a "three year rainfall event." The City finds this to be an adequate design parameter. The final drainage plan, which must be submitted for City approval must, include calculations which verify the design parameters. Additionally, the applicants will be required to obtain development permits from Harris County Flood Control. Acquisition of these permits will be a pre- requisite for approval of construction permits. Utilities: Regarding the issue of utilities, two areas must be considered. The first deals with existing utility lines which cross the I.C.N. tract. There is currently an eight (8) inch potable water line located in the portion of the Madison Street right-of-way to be closed and purchased by I.C.N. This line is to be re-routed, at I.C.N. 's expense. I.C.N. is proposing to grant a fifteen (15) foot wide easement to the City (See Exhibit C). The re-routed Madison Street water line will be located within this easement. Dedication of this easement and re-routing (as well as acceptance) of the water line will be pre-requisites for issuance of construction permits. There is also an overhead Houston Lighting and Power Company transmission line which extends onto this tract from the south along the Kansas Street right-of-way. This line will remain but be raised to accommodate rail spur traffic. An electric line which also enters the tract along Kansas and then turns west along Tyler, will be removed and re-routed along Adams Street (See Exhibit C). EXHIBIT I
