STAFF REPORT 12/12/91 LOUISIANA CHEMICAL Item No. IV on the agenda is to receive the following staff report on a proposed Major Development Site Plan for Louisiana Chemical, located at 10600 Highway 225. * On 11/21/91 the Planning & Zoning Commission granted conditional approval for the site plan based on staff review and a letter dated 10/31/91 (attached) from John Joerns to Carlos Smith, the firm's Engineer. The letter outlined several drainage issues that affect the development. In general, Louisiana Chemical was receptive to the proposed solutions outlined in the letter agreeing that there were several items to resolve including: * 1) HCFCD final approval of interim and ultimate conditions. 2) Planning & Zoning Commission approval. 3) Visit with SDH&PT and insure SH 225 plans don't jeopardize F101 Master Plan for entire watershed or for this area. 4) Resolution of conditions and agreement between City and Louisiana Chemical drafted by the City attorney's office. 5) Will 50 ft. be enough for future easement width? This is currently being reviewed. * H. Carlos Smith stated that Louisiana Chemical would be willing to provide a letter of commitment to grant to the City a 50 ft. easement when future need arises. However, Louisiana Chemical would like for the 50 ft. to remain private property to be utilized for required setback and requests that no public use of the 50 ft. tangent be utilized until the F101 system is completed. * Since that time staff visited with the SDH&PT and was informed of their plan to construct a drainage outfall along the western boundary of Louisiana Chemical's property (see map attached). This would involve an approximate 130 drainage easement through the site thus eliminating their proposed detention facility and interim improvements to the channel.
