Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 02/09/1989

Mr. Gerald Zimmerman January 31, 1989 Page 2 8) In review of the drainage, it would appear that the area lying northeasterly of Iguana Street will drain north to County Ditch No. 27. The area generally south and west of Iguana Street will drain to County Ditch No. 51. A small area is the vicinity of Lots 3,4 and 5 of Block 2 does not appear to have a drainage outlet. A ponding easement may be required. Also, drainage easements over the wetland areas should be provided. We would recommend that a 'grading and drainage plan be provided showing the ponding areas and calculations showing that the culverts are adequately sized. In review of the street plans, we found that they were not signed by a registered engineer as required by City Code. Specifications should also be provided for the proposed improvements. 10) The Park Commission has expressed an interest in providing a trail corridor through the western portion of the property. The developer proposed a 75 foot wide trail corridor along the west edge of the plat continuing to County Road No. 63. However, upon review of that proposal, we believe that most of this land would be poorly suited for recreation use during normal years of precipitation. The Parks Commission will be reviewing other alternatives at their next meeting. Therefore, preliminary plat approval should be tabled until the park issue is resolved. If you have any questions in regard to our comments, please let us }[now. Sincerely, HA.W3~NSON ANDERSON ASSOCIATES, !NC. Peter R.
