We wish to call attention to the Planning and Zoning
Commission that this proposed subdivision lies within
a particularly sensitive area at the present time
(with regards to drainage).

picked up on April 18, 1988. The Drainage District has
not yet received an amended preliminary plat.
MEMO: DATED APRIL 18, 1988 - E.E. SHUMILAK - CLEAR CREEK DRAINAGE
DISTRICT CONSULTING ENGINEER
The preliminary subdivision plat as submitted lacks the
following items required by Clear Creek Drainage District
for preliminary plat approval:
B-2: There is no method proposed to control the rainfall
runoff from the development. This subdivision is
in an area already beset by drainage problems and
the culvert identified under F74-2351 may be inadequate
as it presently exists.
B-3: No drainage easements are identified anywhere on the
plat.
Based on these shortcomings, it is my recommendation that the
CCDD Board of Supervisors not grant preliminary approval until
they are rectified.
Citizens from Clover Acres and Cowards Creek Subdivision were
in the audience requesting to address the Planning and Zoning
Commission about the proposed development adding to their
drainage concerns.
The Commission received a letter from G.E. Wenzel addressing
his concerns. (placed on file)
The following people addressed the Commission stating
their area already has drainage problems. They feel
the proposed development will only create a bigger
problem, until the present drainage concerns are resolved.
Mrs. Oddo Mr. Lockridge
Mr. Everette Mr. Couch
Mrs. Brown Mrs. Willis
Mr. Truman Mr. Munz

Mr. Gartrell,the engineer of the proposed subdivision,told the
group they have a complete retention system to control runoff
within the proposed development.
Mr. Hengst, City Engineer told the group the developers are
seeking preliminary approval. He does not feel he can give
preliminary approval at this time. The reason being the
preliminary plat requires drainage shown on the plat. He
also would like additional input from the Clear Creek
Drainage District.
Mr. Lockridge requested to speak saying they are in the process
of getting three reports. (1) Coenco-City report,(2) Winslow
(Drainage Report), (3) Brazoria Four: The three reports are
still in limbo. Clover.Acres floods at the present time and
there is a problem to solve.
Mr. Everette representing the Coward Creek homeowners area
addressed the group about not giving any further subdivision
approval until the present drainage situation is solved.
MELODY ESTATES - 5 LOTS - PRELIMINARY
Ted Bogren, Engineer and Dr.Clauson the property owner addressed
the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the proposed Melody
Estates subdivision. Melody Estates located on Melody Lane and
consisting of 9.394 acres subdivided into 5 lots. Dr. Clauson
asked the Commission to reconsider the denial recommendation of,
the Commission regarding an existing roadway abandonment. The
Commission, Mr. Bogren and Dr. Clauson reviewed the information
presented again. The concensus of the Planning and Zoning
Commission was they feel the roadway may be needed as an ingress -
egress for future development in the area.
MOTION:(CRESS) To grant preliminary approval leaving the
20' roadway. The developer to dedicate
an additional 10' right-of-way easement to
the City. A reversionary clause on the
plat that the 10' easement revert back
to the owner if not used as a roadway after
