Commissioner Eggers had questions regarding the drainage and how the applicant would control the runoff water. Mr. Nelson stated there had been a Land Plan submitted that had not made it to the Commissioners. He stated there would be a retention pond in the extreme northwest corner. He also stated the runoff and drainage would be shown on the Land Plan. The proposed concrete pavement in Phase I will end at the back of the parking spaces. Commissioner Owens stated he did not feel the mini warehouses held up to their commitments to the City of Euless. He stated he was not happy with developers and applicants achieving only the minimum requirements and he did not feel he had enough information to make a decision at this time. There was discussion regarding the time frame of the Land Plan. Mr. Bass informed the Commissioners that the Development Review Committee would review the Land Plan next week and make a recommendation to the Commission. Phase 2 has not been scheduled with a time frame. Mr. Nelson estimated that construction on the Car Wash would begin in 45 days. He also stated the required transformer would be set at the rear of the building. Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer, stated the existing storm sewer system that this site would drain to is under designed because it was designed under a 5 year design storm frequency where the City is currently using a 25 year storm drainage design. He asked if the developer was prepared to put in a detention facility on this site and run an outfall line to the existing system and if not how would he propose to participate in the detention facility when it goes into place. Mr. Kruckemeyer stated he was not willing to give up the remaining capacity for one pad site when there is remaining property.
