• • ,. , Page2of3 • Bayou Forest Staff Report/5-20-93 on the revised General Plan; specifically dimension and arrangement of commercial lots and driveway arrangement. As these issues have a direct bearing on both the General Plan and rezoning request, it would not be appropriate for the Commission to grant approval or conditional approval of the General Plan as presently drawn. There is additionally one other item which should be addressed. This regards the benchmark notes on Sheet 4 of the General Plan (this sheet is not included in the Commission's agenda packet). The first note "NGS K120 (1973) 9.43' references a National Geodetic survey monument. The location of this monument should be noted. The second note, "City of La Porte B.M.#62 10.86" should be deleted. Also to be noted, Section 6.01 of the Development Ordinance will require that a minimum of one (1) permanent survey control monument be shown at the preliminary plat stage for each five (5) acres platted. One (1) monument is to be accurately tied to an approved City of La Porte monument by angle and distance, at the General Plan stage; reference to a City of Ia Porte monument is not necessary. i Finally, the applicant is to provide the City (and Harris County Flood Control) a report regarding the lagoons proposed for storm water detention. This report is to detail detention capacity, provisions for mosquito control and responsibility for maintenance and upkeep. As of the date of this writing (5-12-93), the applicant has not yet submitted the requested report. If the report is submitted prior to the May 20, meeting, staff will provide copies to the Commission. Development Ordinance Section 4.O1.C empowers the Planning and Zoning Commission to take three courses of action after reviewing a General Plan. They are as follows: 1. Approval: Commission approval of the General Plan authorizes the developer to file a Preliminary Subdivision Plat or a Development Site Plan. 2. Conditional Approval: Commission conditional approval requires submission of an amended General Plan and additional documentation as specified by the Planning Commission for final Commission approval; which may be filed concurrently with the next Preliminary Plat or Development Site Plan, as the case may be.
