FIRST INSTALLMENT (SCHOOL TRACT AND STREET DEDICATIONS WITH WATER, SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER IN AND ALONG STREETS) KEN GOOD & ASSOCIATES, DEVELOPERS. Chairman Weber recognized Mr. Norman Harper, representing Raymond L. Goodson, Jr. , Engineers, who stated that he is present to answer any questions concerning the Final Plat for Inter- national Village, First Installment. Chairman Weber presented a letter dated September 20, 1971 , from Mr. William R. Ratliff, the City 's Consulting Engineer, as follows: 'We have reviewed the plans submitted for International Village, and furnish our comments as follows: 1 . It is our understanding that the area South of Midway Drive which is crossed by the drainage course out of Newport Way will be platted for development in this phase. That being the case, we would recommend that the storm water be put in underground drainage conduit, rather than in open ditch since the tract of land involved appears not to be large enough to justify the perpetual maintenance agreement, which will probably be executed on the balance of property. 2. During the discussions with the Developer's Engineers, it was pointed out that the maintenance necessary on grass medians prevented the City from approving their use. The Developer indicated that he would request the approval of grass medians, subject to his furnishing a perpetual maintenance agreement, which would provide that the property owner on the North side of Midway Drive would be responsible for their continued maintenance as a covenant running with the land. We see no reason to deny that request if the maintenance document is satisfactory with the City Attorney. 3. We are concerned with the placement of sanitary sewer in Inter- national Drive without provision for service connections, since whirn the street is paved, any services would then require a street cut. We would strongly recommend some provision for periodic sewer taps stubbed out in order to prevent later street cuts for utilities. The 2-inch service taps provided for water on International Drive seem to be at a very minimum and perhaps should be increased in number to prevent street cuts for water services. (Page Three, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, September 21 , 1971) 4. We would point out that as a general rule, since the City of Euless uses a Mueller improved fire hydrant, which is not quite so susceptible to uncontrolled discharge on impact by a vehicle, our firm has taken the position that valves on fire hydrant leads are not necessary. We would suggest that on International Drive the four valves shown on fire hydrant leads could be eliminated. We would, however, recommend that they remain shown on the leads off of the 12-inch main, since the possibility of shut-down on a 12- inch main is much more severe, and therefore, would seem to be justified. Mr. Harper took exception to the Engineer's comments concerning drainage, and a brief discussion followed. Mr. Leggett moved to recommend approval of the Final Plat for International Village First Installment, subject to compliance with all requirements outlined in the Engineer 's letter dated September 20, 1971 . Mr. Johnson seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Leggett, Johnson and Weber Nays: None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried. III .
