All were in favor and the motion passed. 3) APPROVE MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 11, 1991 SPECIAL CALLED MEETING A motion was made by Wayne Anderson and seconded by Lola Phillips to approve the minutes as submitted. All were in favor and the motion passed. 4) CONSIDER CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF SUBDMSION PLAT FOR BRIAR GROVE PARK SECTION I Conditional approval of the subdivision plat for Briar Grove Park Section I has been requested by Mr. Jim Box with the Mischer Corporation. Mr. Joems addressed the Commission regarding this item. Briar Grove Park Section I Subdivision plat was originally approved as Meadow Park Section II, approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission under Ordinance #705 many years ago but was never completed. Public Improvements construction was begun and upon completion of installation of the water lines, sanitary sewer system and the storm sewer system, the Developers of the property declared bankruptcy. Page 2 Minutes of November 21, 1991 Planning & Zoning Commission The following is a brief chronological history of the subdivision to date. 11/17/83 12/1/83 12/8/83 3/15/84 3/19/84 11/11/91 Request for Planning & Zoning Commission to consider preliminary plat approval for Meadow Park Section II. Planning & Zoning Commission agrees to hold workshop to discuss requirements for preliminary plat approval for Meadow Park Section II based on staff review. Planing & Zoning Commission held workshop - conditional approval granted per letter dated 1/5/84 from City Secretary Cherie Black. Planning & Zoning Commission approval of final plat, construction plans & specifications for Meadow Park Section II based on staff recommendation dated 2/2/84. Notice issued to begin construction of Public Improvements. Receipt of letter from H. Carlos Smith requesting review of revised subdivision plat. The Mischer Corporation is now seeking to complete development of a modified version of the subdivision. In order to acquire the Commission's conditional approval for the plat, Harris County Flood Control's requirements for the subdivision's stormwater drainage and detention must be met. Originally, the Harris County Flood Control District did not require onsite water detention in this watershed, however since that time, onsite detention is now required. Due to the change in county requirements, the proposed detention facilities are no longer considered adequate. Mr. Box addressed the Commission. In an effort to meet the drainage/detention requirements set by the HCFCD, several options could be explored. 1) Meet with HCFCD to see if the amount of detention presently planned would be sufficient. 2) Approach adjacent property owner in an effort to purchase enough land to build the detention pond offsite. 3) Pump the storm water from the detention facility into the adjacent channel. Page 3 Minutes of November 21, 1991 Planning & Zoning Commission Until HCFCD requirements can be met, the Developer would like the assurance that the lot layout and street pattern would basically remain in it's present state. Mter listening to the presentation, the Commission expressed their intention to work with the Developer in an attempt to resurrect this subdivision. 5) DISCUSS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN FOR LOUISIANA CHEMICAL COMPANY, 11100 OLD LA PORTE ROAD John Armstrong dismisses himself from the meeting due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Joerns addressed the Commission. Louisiana Chemical is located at 10600 Highway 225 and consists of approximately 25 acres. Note: This area lies in the F101 Watershed. One half of the area is already developed and houses a warehouse, offices, and equipment. The other half is undeveloped and it is their intention to develop it into a large laydown yard. Previously, the City of La porte and HCFCD entered into an interlocal agreement. A master drainage plan was prepared and accepted for this watershed. At present, improvements to the F101 Watershed have not been completed. A plat was submitted to the HCFCD by Carlos Smith representing Louisiana Chemical. Final approval of the plat was not received. Mter resubmitting, HCFCD required coordination with the City of La Porte and the F101 Master Watershed Plan which could result in dedication of the onsite channel for future use as a public stormwater easement. A possible solution could be to ask Louisiana Chemical to consider the 50 ft. being utilized for a channel to be available for a public stormwater drainage easement in the future. This 50 ft. for the interim and the future could serve as the 50 ft. setback required between R-1 zones and industrial developments as required by the Zoning Ordinance. This item would have to be reviewed and approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission when the Major Development Site Plan is considered. The City and Louisiana Chemical would need to agree on how to deal with the interim situation where the benefit is to Louisiana Chemical and the long term situation when public need is identified. Page 4 Minutes of November 21, 1991 Planning & Zoning Commission Carlos Smith addressed the Commission. 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. channel be utilized until the F101 system is completed. A motion was made by Betty Waters to approve the site plan submitted by Louisiana Chemical pending satisfaction of the conditions outlined in the October 30, 1991 letter from the Assistant City Manager to H. Carlos Smith. This letter is attached as a part of these minutes. The motion was seconded by Eugene Edmonds. All were in favor and the motion passed. 7:15 PM - Break 7:30 PM - Reconvene for Public Hearing John Armstrong returns to the meeting. 6) CALL PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER CONSIDER SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #SCU91-001 WHICH SEEKS APPROVAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A BOAT AND R.V. STORAGE FACILITY TO BE LOCATED AT 10601 FAlRMONT PARKWAY. Mr. Lewis told the Commission that a Special Conditional Use permit was requested by Mr. Herb McElveen, Owner/Proprietor of the "Storage Station"(10600 Fairmont Parkway), to convert an existing facility at the location into a storage facility for boats and recreational vehicles. Public Notice, informing residents of the request, was published in the newspaper and notice was sent to 23 property owners whose property is located within 20 ft. from the area in question. No replies in opposition were received. In an effort to conform with screening requirements, Mr. McElveen agreed to plant a mixture of Wax Myrtle and Crepe Myrtle trees along the exposed portions of the property perimeter.

The purpose of this report is to familiarize the Commission with the Developer's plan to change the Subdivision's name and develop it in two (2) phases or sections. The following is a brief chronological history of the subdivision to date. 12/1/83 Request for Planning & Zoning Commission to consider preliminary plat approval for Meadow Park Section II. Planning & Zoning Commission agrees to hold workshop to discuss requirements for preliminary plat approval for Meadow Park Section II based on staff review. 11/17/83 12/8/83 P&Z held workshop - conditional approval granted per letter dated 1/5/84 from Cherie Black. 3/15/84 P &Z approval of final plat, construction plans & specifications for Meadow Park Section II based on staff recommendation dated 2/2/84.

(Exhibit B) Although most public improvements were completed and inspected within the subdivision, they were not accepted by the City for ownership and maintenance. 11/11/91 Staff has approached this request not as a new subdivision subject to current City Ordinance (#1444 & #1501), but rather as a resurrected project previously approved under the Ordinances in place at the time. Many development obstacles and outstanding issues remain unresolved (see proposed staff reply dated 11/12/91, Exhibit C). Staff is working with new Developers and their Engineering firm to complete these and obtain final plat approval for Briar Grove Park Section I in order to complete the subdivision.

Said approval for the preliminary plat was indicated to Mr. Grisham by a letter dated January 5, 1984. Please further recall that the preliminary plat approval given to Meadowpark Subdivision, Section II was conditional, based upon condi- tions submitted by Director of Community Develo~~t, John Joerns as stated by him in the December I, 1983 meeting. tr~t>. As you know, Mr. Grisham has approached the Planning and Zoning commission requesting final plat approval of Meadowpark Subdivision, Section II at the meeting of the Commission this evening. Many of the conditions as stated by Mr. Joerns in the December I, 1983 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission have either been met, or are easily met with the addition of interim markings and additional language and corrections to the plat that you have before you this evening. However, Mr. Grisham still has not made ~ satisfactory disposition on the following items: " 1. Pursuant to recommendation made in John Joerns' memo dated 12-1-83, Mr. Grisham has failed to meet with City Staff and with City Legal Counsel to determine a method for insuring the City's future right to the 25 foot easement along the west line of the sUbdivision. By way of clarification, the final plat as submitted by Mr. Grisham indicates that said 25 foot easement along the west line of the subdivision is within the boundaries of the subdivision, whereas, statements have been made to the Commission that said 25 foot easement has been donated to Fish Engineering as a condition to acquisition by the Developer of certain properties in the Subdivision~ EXHIBIT A "~<ll J --.

It is incumbent upon Mr. Grisham to assist City Staff and Ci ty Legal Counsel in finaliz~ng provision for construction of the offsite 12" waterline, said waterline to be constructed to serve the subdivision. It should be noted that while Staff does not recommend that actual acquisition of the offsite easement should be made a preconditioned to granting final plat approval, Mr. Grisham should be required to enter into a final contract for construction of the offsi te 12" waterline, with said executed contract being a pre- condition to final plat approval; \ I\D 4. Final approval of the final plat and construction drawings must be acquired by Harris County Flood Control; 5. City Staff must approve the final construction drawings as submitted. It is recommended by City Staff that Meado lark Subdivision, Section II, final plat is not right for approval at fbe present point in time. The suggested course of action would be to reschedule the meeting in the near future, possibly as soon as February 16, 1984, with direc- tions to City Staff, Legal Counsel, and Mr. Grisham to iron out the final areas of concern.

The construction of the subdivision is partially complete, in that all of the underground utilities and storm drainage systems are in place. The balance of the construction is the street paving and adjustment of the existing utilities to meet the final grading of the subdivision. We would request at this time that the following items be considered~ so that we may proceed with the completion of the! construction: 1. The name change from Meadow Park to Briargrove. 2. The division of the subdivision into two sections. 3. The street name changes. NO.other changes in street layout, lot layout or major changes have been made. The only major change that has been made is the requirement by Harris County Flood Control District~ has eliminated 8 lots in Block 3~ to allow for on site detention of the storm water runoff.

Box 529 La Porte, Texas 77572-0529 Re: Briar Grove Park Section I (Formerly Meadow Park II) Dear Mr. Smith, On March 15, 1984 the City's Planning & Zoning Commission granted conditional approval for the final plat of Meadow Park Section II and City staff gave conditional Notice to Proceed for construction of the Public Improvements. Although many of the Public Improvements were constructed, they were not accepted by the City for ownership and maintenance. Since construction was never completed and the plat for Meadow Park II never recorded, the City's Planning & Zoning Commission will need to consider conditional approval of the preliminary plat as Briar Grove Park Section I and the concept of phasing it into two (2) Sections as proposed by your client. This item is on the Planning & Zoning Commission's agenda for November 21, 1991. As you know, several issues regarding completion of the Subdivision remain unresolved. This letter will serve as a tentative list of those issues. 1) Provide the City of La Porte with construction plans and specifications for the water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and street construction of the subdivision. 2) Construct the relocation of the 6" water line and the 2" gas line located in the drainage ditch on the north side of Ave. "P" so that the drainage flow line can be lowered to take the storm water off the property. 3) Complete the construction of the water lines, sanitary sewer system and the storm drainage, making sure the connection on Ave. "P" conforms to the construction drawings. 4) Schedule and re-test the water and sewer lines, with City personnel present, for compliance with the approved specifications and provide those test results to the City. EXH1BIT C DRAFT 5) Execute a Utility Extension Agreement for the extension of a 12" water line extending to the northeast corner of the subdivision approximately 2,650' westerly to Underwood Road and complete the construction of the off-site water line per the executed Utility Extension agreement. An analysis of recent system improvements in the area is currently underway. This data may delete the necessity for the extension subject to City of La Porte approval. 6) Submit a final plat, making sure the plat contains all issues discussed by the Planning & Zoning Commission on December 1, 1983, as part of the conditional approval of the final plat of Meadow Park Section II. 7) Provide the City of La Porte with copies of any proposed Homeowners Association Agreements which should include additional assessment authority and provide the City of La Porte with any proposed deed restrictions that might apply to the developed property. 8) Receive approval of the final plat and construction plans by Harris County Flood Control. 9) Construct the streets as per approved plans. 10 Provide for the street lights to be located within the subdivision, per Houston Lighting & Power Company policy. 11) Provide "as-built" drawings and construction specifications of the completed water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage improvements. My staff and I look forward to working with you and if you require additional assistance please feel free to call me at 471-5020.

Lewis, City Inspector Phillip Hoza, Engineering Technician SUBJECT: Major Development Site Plan for Louisiana Chemical Company The Planning & Zoning Commission will sometime in the next few months, be asked to review and consider approval of a Major Development Site Plan to be submitted for Louisiana Chemical Company (L.C.C.). The primary business at L.C.C. which is located at 10600 Highway 225, is the dismantling, salvage and resale of chemical plant process units. The Light Industrial (L.I.) zoning of the L.C.C. tract is appropriate for this type of business activity. L.C.C. is proposing to expand their existing "laydown" yard. This is the outdoor area used to store dismantled process equipment. The major development site plan to be submitted will illustrate the plans for this yard. Development Ordinance No. 1444 defines a Major Development as one encompassing property in excess of ten (10) acres. It also establishes the Planning & Zoning Commission as the approving authority for Major Development Site Plans. Staff has undertaken a review of the preliminary L.C.C. site plan. In general terms, the plan appears to comply with Zoning and Development Ordinance requirements. The attached letter (dated October 30, 1991) and outline details one of the primary areas of concern noted during the staff review namely, impact on the F-101 drainage system and future public need for additional drainage channel right-of-way. A reduced copy of the preliminary plan is attached to this packet. Full sized copies will be available for the Commission during the November 21st meeting. At that time staff will discuss in detail the Major Development process and the current status of the L.C.C. development. As noted above, formal consideration for approval will come at a later date following submittal by the applicant, of a revised site plan. xc: Planning & Zoning Commission ( ( CITY OF LA PORTE " PHONE (713) 471-5020 .

Carlos Smith PO Box 529 La Porte, TX 77572-0529 RE: Louisiana Chemical Proposed Development Dear Mr. Smith, Attached is an outline I prepared regarding the drainage issues that affect the proposed Louisiana Chemical 12.5:t acre development. The outline provides some background and proposes a solution to both the immediate and long term needs of Louisiana Chemical and the City. I would like you to review the outline with your client(s) and see if they are agreeable with the proposed resolution of the drainage issues. I will also furnish this outline to HCFCD for their approval. After I receive approval from both HCFCD and your client we can proceed with setting a date for Planning and Zoning Commission consideration. As discussed previously, I am concerned about the SH 225 project. If the SDHP&T decides to discharge water into the F101 watershed we will all have a greater problem to solve. This problem should not affect the interim detention requirement of HCFCD. It may, however, have an effect on the proposed ultimate solution. If a significant amount of stormwater is discharged into F101 then it may be more difficult to abandon detention in the future. I will again visit with you once I finally determine the State's decision and it's impact on the watershed. oerns istant City Manager attachments xc: Knox Askins, City Attorney Ervin Griffith, Chief Building Official Phil Hoza, Engineering Technician ( October 30, 1991 ( Outline Louisiana Chemical Stormwater Runoff Issues Background: CLP and HCFCD through an interlocal agreement prepared and accepted a Master Drainage Plan for the F101 watershed. . . CLP letter, dated July 17, 1987, to HCFCD expressed concern for Mure development of approximately 30:t acres ot undeveloped light industrial property . HCFCD letter, dated July 23, 1987, pointed out that objectives of the study and proposed interim improvements would not include improvements (or detailed recommendations) to undeveloped property. Note: That Louisiana Chemical's proposed 12.5:t acre tract and the 30 :t acre tract were undeveloped at time of study. Louisiana Chemical filed a Major Development Plan to develop 25.4:t acre tract. . . . Approximately 13 acres have previously been developed; the plan indicates future additions of a warehouse, office and parking. The 13 acres drain to the northwest and is pumped to area between the railroad right-ot-way and Old La Porte Road. . The development currently proposed is approximately 12.5:t acres. . The F101 watershed study was based on proposed interim improvements to channel F101-Q1-Q0 and eventually a lateral channel F101-06-Q2 constructed to the southwest corner of the Louisiana Chemical 25.4:t acre tract. . Since interim F101 improvements have not been completed direct stormwater runoff from the Louisiana Chemical site will not be allowed into the F101 system. · Therefore, HCFCD (reinforced by CLP Development Ordinance) is requiring on site detention ot the runoff. The criteria is supplied by HCFCD and is: . (Information from HCFCD) · Once the F101 improvements are made up to the southwest corner ot Louisiana Chemical site the detention pond is no longer necessary and may be reclaimed for other uses. · City (and HCFCD) is concerned with the ability to provide drainage for other properties into the F101 system that would otherwise be landlocked. October 30, 1991 ( ( Proposed Solotuion: The Louisiana Chemical proposed 12.5:!: acre development be constructed with the detention requirement and per HCFCO requirements. Ask developer (Louisiana Chemical) to consider the 50 ft. being utilized for a channel to be available for a public stormwater drainage easement in the Mure. This 50 ft. for the interim and future could possibly serve as the 50 ft. setback required between R-1 uses and Louisiana Chemical as required by Zoning Ordinance (Section 7-600 Table B). This item will have to be reviewed and approved by Planning and Zoning Commission when the Major Development Site Plan is considered. The City and Louisiana Chemical would need to come to terms and agreement on how to deal with the interim situation where the use and benefit is to Louisiana Chemical and the ultimate or long term situation when public need is identified. Consider: . dedication of drainage right-of-way now and an agreement for Louisiana Chemical to use in interim; . the interim use would be for benefit ot Louisiana Chemical only and drain the proposed 12.5:!: acre development. Louisiana Chemical would be responsible for up keep and maintenance; . or an agreement with Louisiana Chemical to dedicate when public need is there and work out trigger conditions. . The 50 ft. drainage right-ot-way would not be ot public benefit until properties beyond the proposed 12.5:!: acre site are drained through this right-ot-way. Items still to resolve: . HCFCD final approval ot interim and ultimate conditions. . Planning and Zoning Commission approval. . Visit with SOH&PT and insure SH 225 plans don't jeopardize F101 Master Plan for entire watershed or for this area. . Resolution ot conditions and agreement between City and Louisiana Chemical drafted by the City attorney's office. · Will 50 ft. be enough for Mure easement width?

Zoninq: General Commercial (GC) Owner: Mr. Herb Mc Elveen Proposed Develooment: Storage yard for recreational vehicles boats and Backqround: The "storage Station" is an existing "mini warehouse" facility located at 10600 Fairmont Parkway. The west end of the facility is occupied by a carwash which was closed some time ago. Mr. Hc Elveen, the property owner and business proprietor is proposing to convert the carwash to use as a storage facility for boats and recreational vehicles. Zoning Ordinance Section 6-400, Commercial Table A lists this activity as "Outdoor Storage as a Primary or Accessory Use" and designates it as "Conditional" in General Commercial Zones: Thus the need for a Special Conditional Use Permit. The following standards and requirements apply to outside storage in General Commercial Zones. Setbacks: Twenty (20) feet front; 10 feet rear; 5 feet side (Section 6-500, Commercial Table B). Page 2 Section 6-600 eSpecial Use Performance Standards). 1. The area is screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Section 6-600 (A). 2. Storage is screened from view from the public right- of-way in compliance with Section 6-600(A). 3. Storage area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. 4. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right-of-way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Section 7-501(I)a. Analysis: As indicated facility is paved property line and The carwash stalls Setbacks: on Exhibit A, the carwash portion of the with concrete which extends to the front it has been enclosed with a chain link fence. are covered but open on two sides. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 20 foot front setback. If the front 20 ft. of this site is designated for use as driveway and maneuvering aisle, the front setback requirement will be satisfied. A 5 ft. side setback area must be designated for the portion of the property which abuts the pipeline corridor but, there appears to be adequate room to accomplish this. Due to its location within the facility, rear setback is not an issue for the storage area. Special Use Performance Standards: The Zoning Ordinance requires that outdoor storage facilities be screened from abutting residential zones. As indicated by Exhibit A, the layout of the existing mini warehouse facility separates and screens the proposed storage yard from the Fairmont East subdivision. Page 3 It is also required that outdoor storage areas be screened from public rights-of-way. The applicant is proposing to provide this screening by planting a mixture of wax myrtle and crepe myrtle trees along exposed portions of the property perimeter (See Exhibit B). Because the existing paving extends to the front property line, the plantings to be located on that face of the site are to be placed on the Fairmont Parkway right-of-way. The plantings to be placed along the west face of the property will be located on the applicant's property. Regarding the final two performance standards, the concrete paving constitutes dust free surfacing and no additional yard lighting has been proposed at this time. Should lighting be added in the future, it can be specified, (as a condition of the electrical permit) that all lights be directed towards the interior of the property.
