2-851 , CITY OF EULESS, JOHN GROVES ADDITION
1 . Present City Policies provide that sewers be carried to
the far side of a tract to be developed. There is a tract to
the East side of the proposed addition which will require
(Page Two, Regular Meeting Planning and Zoning Commission, October 2, 1973)
sewer service to the West; and therefore, the sewer being
brought across Raider Drive should be carried to the East
boundary of this addition. We would suggest that this
sewer can be carried at minimum grade to the Northeast
corner of the property and terminate at a depth which will
be capable of serving the property to the east.
2. The 16-inch water line indicated along the South side of
this property is property sized for the City' s Master Plan.
It would be our recommendation that the City negotiate the
extension of a present contract and continue this 16-inch
line to the East to connect with the Trinity River Authority
line where it crosses Highway 183. This Developer could deposit
the funds for which he is responsible and the City could proceed
to construct the entire line.
3. Any City approval should, of course, be subject to approval
by the State Highway Department of the construction of curb,
gutter, pavement and drive approaches within their right-of-
way.
Mr. Elliott agreed to comply with
the engineering requests; however, he wanted to discuss it with Mr. Bill
Ratliff before doing so.
Mr. Leggett made a motion to approve
the John Groves Addition plat subject to the conditions stated in the
Engineer's letter.
Mr. Perkins seconded the motion and
the vote is as follows:
Ayes: Messrs. Johnson, Tyson, Perkins, Pippin, Ozebek and Leggett
Nays: None
Chairman Tyson declared the motion
carried.
