We note that the drainage scheme has been revised to comply with the approved Preliminary Development Plan of Tract 3R, dated June, 1975. The proposed drainage improvements consist of the extension of the 27" storm drain along the north portion of Tract 3R-3 to its termination with a drop inlet at the south- west corner of Tract 4-AR (Passport Inn) . These drainage improve- ments are proposed to provide for the future extension to serve Tract 2 and to pick up the storm water leaving the Passport Inn tract. 2. The Plat should show the utility and drainage easement required for the above described storm sewer. 3. The on-site drainage is proposed to be collected and conveyed in a concrete flume along the east side of the tract and in a parking lot valley along the west. Both the flumes and the parking lot will discharge onto the remainder of Tract 3R and will eventually reach Westpark Way through the proposed parking lot per the drainage plan and building and parking layout included in the preliminary plan. 4. Fire hydrant installations should be of the latest Euless' configuration which incorporates a mechanical joint anchoring coupling at each end of the fire hydrant lead. If we can provide further assistance to you in the processing of this project, please do not hesitate to call . Mr. Tyson made a motion to approve the final plat request of Mr. A.H.
