Dear Mr. Thompson:
You requested that we investigate whether gravity sanitary sewer service can be
provided to the small out-tract adjacent to Highway 60 at the northwest corner of the
referenced park property. Preliminary investigation indicates that the available grade to
extend a gravity sanitary sewer line from an existing gravity sanitary sewer line on the
southern side of Highway 30 across the park property northwestward to provide service
to this small out-tract would require at least a twelve-inch (12") line based on TNRCC
minimum grade requirements. Even with a line installed on the minimum grade of a 12"
line, a substantial amount of fill would still be required on this tract to raise it to a
sufficient elevation to be serviceable since most or all of this tract lies at a low elevation
within the 100-year flood plain.
Please contact me if you require additional information at this time.
Sincerely,
S 4,4"

Dear Mr. Thompson:
At the preliminary design meeting for this project held at the office of Development
Services on November 15, 2000, there was discussion about the designated Zone A
100-year floodplain shown on the floodplain map near the most eastern corner of this
tract at Highway 30.
It is believed the Zone A 100-year floodplain shown on the map at this location is
representing backwater from Carters Creek resulting from the 100-year flood. The
floodplain map shows the 100-year floodwater elevation of Carters Creek at the point
where this tributary enters to be slightly higher than 254 feet elevation, say 255 feet
elevation.
As seen on the two attached contour maps developed independently of each other, the
255-foot contour barely enters the subject park property, perhaps about a distance of
100 feet, and is at the very bottom of the gully in that area. We developed one of the
contour maps from actual ground elevated shots based on one of the City's GPS
stations. The other drawing was prepared by Kerr Surveying, and the contours on that
map reportedly are from the City's contour map.
Based on this information, it is my opinion that further study of this area is not needed at
this time.

I apologize for taking to so long to get back to you on this. Both the planner and engineer that worked on
this project is no longer with the city, so we're assigning a new planner and engineer to the project. I'll get
back with you later this week on the status.
Thank you!

I talked with O'Malley today about the plat. We will need to know how we are to show the phase 1 area.
Do we draw a line or just show what we intend to build in the first phase? This is one of the things we will
need to know. At this point I still do not know who will do the plat.

I have several questions about your list. We will try to get this done by Friday but I have little confidence
that it can be determined what is needed. I had asked for a list of items needed to correct the plat well
over a month ago. On December 7th both myself & O'Malley engineers were told that the preliminary plat
that Brad Kerr prepared was to go to P&Z on January 4 and no indication that additional information was
needed. Following this we decided that everything must be ok. Today I received this notice and was told
by phone that it needed to be completed by Friday. From what I can tell only items 1 and 5 need to be
added to the preliminary plat . Is # 5 for the preliminary plat or final.. It will be impossible to determine
future phases that will be approved by the city council and the voters. We can make a guess.
Also, you want a Master plan. Is this the master plan we developed or an approved Master Development
plan? If it is the latter than we will have to fake a ig s ab ..fur master plan does not include all the
information required for Master Development plans.

Ric, the following are steps you need to take to complete the preliminary plat process for Veteran's Park.
X1. Show the phase lines on the preliminary plat the same way you are planning to develop the park.
/ A You will need to final plat each phase when you are ready to develop that phase. Utilities will need to
be extended with each phse (include whether the 1.3 acre tract can be gravity sewered).
2. The 1.3 acre tract must be shown on the preliminary plat since it was part of the original tract.
3. The utilities can be extended when each phase is developed.
4. Please include a copy of the master plan for the park when the revised preliminary plat is resubmitted.
5. Make sure to show all drainage and/or floodplain issues/impacts on developed property areas.
'L6. TxDOT permits will be required for driveway construction in the State ROW.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Spencer Thompson, Molly Hitchcock or myself.
Thank you! /
