Retreat at Bay Forest (N&S) - Final Plat 3/16/06 - P & Z Meeting Page 3 of 4 Utilities - There is sufficient water service available to serve these proposed developments. Originally, this area was a part of the potentially overloaded sewer system as per South La Porte Wastewater Report. Later, improvement of wastewater system around Texas Avenue and closing of the Vista Baywood Apartments provided enough relief. In addition, upgrade of the system from Broadway to McCabe Road will provide further relief to the sanitary sewer system. The developer is responsible for providing all on-site infrastructure or improvements to accommodate the subdivision's water and sanitary sewer needs. The design and construction of all water and sewer systems shall be in conformance with the City's approved Public Improvement Criteria Manual (PICM). Drainage - The proposed subdivisions are located in the Taylor Bayou Watershed, therefore, detention is required per City of La Porte criteria. North and South sections are designed so that all storm drainage flows directly into the detention basin located in the south section adjacent to a H.C.F.C.D. facility. Drainage swale over storm pipe is designed. Future street projection through North Section will provide further relief to the drainage system. The detention basin's size and capacity will be reviewed at the construction drawings to ensure that it can adequately serve the proposed developments without burdening the existing system. The developer shall provide all the necessary easements required for proper drainage, including storm water inlets. Fencing - Proposed Retreat at Bay Forest North subdivision abuts to the Golf Course on the West. The design of the fence must be approved by the City. Fence standards shall be stated in the protective covenants or deed restrictions, maintenance/ repair costs by the homeowner association must be stated in the document to be submitted with the Final Plat of the North subdivision.
