connection of the street system to Nantucket Drive. The area is part
of the City's annexation area and will be served by Wellborn Water and
City sewer.
Commissioner Davis expressed concern regarding the lake drainage
and the integrity and erosion of the dam. Mr. Thompson stated that
he has not seen any design documents on that issue. He added that a
drainage report is required when the final plat is filed.
The Staff Review Comments were discussed. Mr. Thompson pointed
out that the waterline must meet the City's requirements and will also
be reflected on the final plat .
Commissioner Hall opened the public hearing.
Joe Schultz, 3208 Innsbrook, stated that water from the development
is not being deverted to the lake and therefore would not be
contributing to any increase in capacity. Mr. Schultz added that all
the recent and new development in the area has had almost no impact
on the peak of the lake. However, he assured the Commission that
their concerns were warranted. He stated that a drainage report will
be submitted along with the final plat.
Phyllis Hobson, the developer of Nantuck and South Hampton reported
that the lake is approved for a 500 year flood. She added that the
