• • <br />• should be no impact on traffic flow to and from the abutting <br />residential neighborhood. <br />Sanitary sewer, in the form of a 10" main is available along the <br />northern boundary of the tract. This main primarily serves homes <br />located on Orchard Lane in the Brookglen Subdivision. A <br />development of maximum possible density might tax the capacity <br />of this main. Any improvements to the sanitary sewer system <br />necessary to support new development would be at the developer's <br />expense. <br />Potable water is not readily available at this time. Neither is there <br />adequate fire protection. There is currently a 12" water main <br />under construction that will terminate at Fairmont Parkway and <br />Spring Gully. Additionally, there is a 12" water main that <br />terminates north of Fairmont Parkway at Brookwood. Either of <br />these mains can potentially be extended (at the developer's cost). <br />Extension would provide adequate service without significantly <br />impacting other water users in the area. <br />Storm water drainage and detention is also an issue that will be <br />carefully reviewed in conjunction with any property development. <br />• The City is very aware of drainage problems and concerns in this <br />part of La Porte. As with other infrastructure issues, it will be the <br />developer's responsibility to provide any structures, or <br />improvements necessary to accommodate the storm water <br />accumulation and runoff. <br />~ As noted on Exhibit C, the property is bordered to the west by vacant <br />General Commercial and developed R-1 property. A change from R-2 to <br />R-3 should have no impact on future development within the GC zone. <br />To the north (as well as to the west), the tract is bounded by an existing <br />neighborhood of single family homes. Based on the way in which this <br />neighborhood is developed there can be no direct interconnection between <br />the subdivision and the subject tract. Development within the subject tract <br />should have little, if any impact on the neighboring subdivision. <br />Finally, to the west is an approximately 12 acre tract that will retain its <br />present R-2 zoning designation. This tract is similar in size and <br />configuration of the property currently under consideration. Development <br />of the subject property should not impact the viability of the remaining R- <br />2property, although any utility upgrades should take into account all <br />vacant property in the vicinity. <br />• <br />
