AGENDA TTEM NO. 2.5: Consideration of a Final Plat for 18.917 acres, the Steeplechase
Subdivision Phase .Six, located along the southside of the Navarro extension. (99-233)
Chairman Rife :removed. this item from the consent agenda .for discussion. Commissioner Horlen
removed himself from the discussion and consideration of this item.
Graduate Engineer Tondre approached the Commission and explained that the primary concerns from
residents in the area were in regards to drainage. Only a small portion of the property located. in the
southeast corner would drain-into fhe channel behind the "Courts" residential area. Staff has reviewed
the drainage plan and it is in compliance with. the .City's Drainage Ordinance. The drainage plan
submitted proposed to reduce the peak runoff flow rate to approximately one-third the existing pre-
development flow rate leaving the site.
Commissioner Kaiser asked if this area would drain beyond Wellborn Road. Mr. Tondre said that the
headwater of this drainage basin is actually further south toward the Edelweiss Subdivision.
Approximately half of the drainage basin is south of Deacon.
Chairman Rife asked for clarification that the proposed plan would not be an adverse effect, but would
actually be reduced by some factor. Mr. Tondre said that he did not have actual numbers, but this
subdivision's contributions to the drainage basin would actually be reduced to approximately one-third
of the existing flow, which is in excess of the Drainage Ordinance requirements.
Chairman Rife asked if there was a proposed time frame for the development of the detention pond.
Mr. Tondre said that the detention pond would probably be "rough-cut" at the same. time as the "rough-
cut" of the streets and other grading work. The pond must be completed at the same time of street
acceptance.
Chairman Rife opened the floor for comments.
Ms. June Cooper, 900 Val Verde, explained that she had approached the Commission and the City
Council regarding the drainage behind her property. She said that she was given approximately 5 days
