The Commission had no questions for the applicant.
Mr. LeGrand discussed the thirteen (13) foot back-to-back proposed pavement
detail in Exhibit "E" Entry Detail. According to Town requirements the minimum
width of an entry is twenty (20) feet. The fire department's emergency
equipment when fully extended requires the apparatus to put down outriggers
for stability. Also, this distance will allow the equipment to pass through the
entrance while a car is parked. This item had not been shown on previous
versions of the planned development ordinance.
Chairman Hill suggested this item be a contingency for Fire Department
approval.
Mr. Spain stated that he understood the need and also the requirement was a
legitimate request. He will do whatever is necessary to comply.
A motion was made to recommend approval of the ordinance contingent
upon meeting the Fire Marshall's requirements.

This item will be recommended for approval with the contingency at the 5

7. PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATIVE TO THE
REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF A 23.5361 ACRE TRACT OF
LAND ZONED PD -16, THE KNOLL, LOCATED GENERALLY TO THE NORTH OF
GREENHILL TRAIL, WEST OF PANORAMA TRAIL AND SOUTHWEST OF
RIDGEVIEW LANE. APPLICANT: TERRA LAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (PP -
01 -001)
Mr. Spain addressed the Commission and went into detail regarding the
changes made which were primarily utility related. He was asked by staff to
loop the water line for the whole area and also loop the cul-de-sac.
Gary Teague discussed the drainage. His original suggestion was to loop the
flumes to put in inlets and pipes unless the developer could get an acceptable
outfall.
Mr. Spain stated that most of their attention was given to the drainage at the
southeast corner. Currently there is an existing problem with the drainage in the
area for existing homes. Tim Welch, Mr. Spain's engineer looked at two solutions
for the off-site drainage. The first they were asked to do by staff was not to
create any additional drainage. Mr. Welch therefore designed a detention
system, which is basically a berm on the back of the lots, which would allow the
water to fill up when it rains hard, and drain out slowly through the existing drains
the golf course has. That would prevent any additional problem once The Knoll
was developed. Ultimately, the need is for a storm sewer line that goes from
the back of the lots to the existing system in the streets. Those were the two
solutions Mr. Spain discussed with Gary Teague and Bill LeGrand. Mr. Spain is
submitting the plan in which they (the developer) have control over, that they
can do themselves with the cooperation of the golf course, which is the
detention pond plan.
Mr. Spain also discussed the change in the pavement widths. The only reason
for this change was to save the trees on the site.
Chairman Hill asked Mr. Teague to discuss the drainage issues. Mr. Teague
stated Mr. Spain hit the highlights of items staff had previously discussed. It's
been noted that the water coming off of the subdivision (The Knoll) has flumes
at all locations. Where the storm drain is, there is a place to tie in, going
northeast. The other locations at least through the subdivision, the applicant
had been asked to put in an inlet and stub out the pipe, assuming that we
could get an acceptable outfall without creating a major disturbance on the
golf course. Mr. Welch indicated that was the reason the golf course was
opposing the flume so the alternative there was to get something simple that
the golf course could live with.

Planning & Zoning PH & Regular Session 25 October 2001
Relative to the drainage in the southeast corner the detention is a good idea
that has been discussed among staff. However, the outfall scenario is not
acceptable. Currently there are two 4" pipes already there. First of all, 4" pipes
are very difficult to maintain, keeping them open, making sure they are working,
etc. What really needs to be done, which Mr. Spain noted, is a connection to
the existing system. In Mr. Teague's opinion, this is what constitutes an
acceptable outfall for that to be tied into the existing storm drain system. Mr.
Teague's recommendation is that element be added to the plan.
Chairman Hill summarized: All areas that take the water going southeast out of
this development is surface flow across this detention berm, and then two 4"
lines going from there along a lot line discharging to the street.
Mr. Teague stated that among other things, that particular scenario, because of
the size of the line, assuming you could get enough capacity, no telling how
long the pipes would drain. He went on to say there really needs to be a more
appropriate pick up, and a pipe size more compatible with good maintenance
opportunities and getting the water out in a more timely fashion.
Mr. LeGrand stated that the pipe was the best solution to run it to a storm inlet of
some sort, because of the algae build-up over a long period of time and the
water weeping. As far as participation or the cost of install, that's something
that has to be determined by the Town Council and the MUD Boards. Based on
prior experience, both bodies feel that the developer pays for all construction.
Ms. Fleck asked that the POINT OF BEGINNING notation be added to the plat.
Mr. Kimble Ross of 19 Overhill Drive addressed the Commission.
Mr. LeGrand requested the Commission to delay action on this item in order for
a cost participation plan to be discussed by the Town Council and the Master
District Board.
The Commission requested the applicant to provide a letter to staff waiving the
"30 day" period for action. The applicant agreed.
A motion was made to table this item to a date certain of 15 November 2001.
