He stated he would need an easement up Houston Street off of Porter. He stated the perimeter easements were adequate except he was concerned about the drainage ditch and the easement coming together. He explained that, if the drainage ditch was just a gentle swale and not likely to wash out, it would be acceptable. He further explained that, should the swale wash out, the cable would be exposed causing safety problems. He suggested separating the two. In response to a question from Don Bunn regarding taking the drainage down to the street, Mr. Harris explained there was a box culvert that the swale would feed into. There was discussion of moving the easement by all of the utility companies, making it on the inside rather than the outside, and moving the channel over 10 feet.

DAVID TUCKER - SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE Mr. Tucker explained he would have to have an individual service line to each residence and they could not go through a fire wall.

He stated their facilities were also on Porter Road so they would need to come down Houston Street on the west side. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT • Mr. Perry stated he doubted Jim Johnson with the 911 system would allow both streets to be called Houston. • • Plat Review September 19, 1991 Page 5 Ms. Paul stated Mr. Johnson had contacted her. She explained that the name of the subdivision and one street could have the name "Houston" but the other street name could not use "Houston". She further explained that "Court" should be "Place".

DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER Mr. Bunn stated the water and sewer appeared adequate but he was concerned about the drainage.

He stated there needed to be another 20 -foot drainage easement along Houston Court. He further stated there should be a note on the plat with the number of proposed units. He stated the ordinance also called for a preliminary excavation plan which would need to be reviewed by his staff. He suggested the developer also show the parking when presenting the plat at the Planning Commission meeting.

LARRY WINKLER - SWEPCO Mr. Winkler stated the easements appeared to be adequate. He further stated that, if the developer wanted a streetlight at the entrance, there would need to be a 10 -foot easement along the east of lot 48.

TRACI PAUL - PLANNING DEPARTMENT Ms. Paul stated Jim Johnson, 911 Systems, had informed her the subdivision name of North Hills Heights could not be used since there was already a North Hills Addition. PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT Mr. Franklin explained that the developer would have to contact Mr. Johnson on the name of the street also and could verify a subdivision name at the same time. He further stated that, because the street was only 800 feet, it would require a variance. DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER Mr. Bunn suggested tying the street into Sunny Lane. He explained that he did not know what the Planning Department would recommend but the Planning Commission would have to make the final decision. He explained that the length of the cul-de-sac would require a variance. Mr. Bunn stated there needed to be a legend on the plat.

Mr. Bunn stated the fire chief had approved the fire hydrants but had requested a tie -through to Appleby for the water.
