Retreat at Bay Forest - Replat 11/16/06 - P & Z Meeting Page 3 of 4 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 this South section adjacent to a HCFCD facility. A Drainage swale over storm pipe is designed. Future street projection through the detention basin's size and capacity has been 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 - The proposed subdivision abuts to the Golf Course on the West. The design of the back yard 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 and must be stated in the document as well. In addition, a statement should be included that the City shall not be responsible for any damage or destruction to the property caused by stray golf balls.
