District's procedures regarding plats that come before them. To be discussed are issues of the flood
control district beyond creek ditches and detention impact fees. Mr. Parker stated that the district relied
on technical advisors when the property was in unincorporated Harris County to determined if detention is
necessary. If the property is a 1 acre tract with one ownership, the district defers to the City. If it is a
larger tract, 50 acres with 40 homes, the district may require additional detention. The procedures for
