The City Secretary stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of final plat and construction plans with the exception of contingencies that would be explained by Assistant City Manager, Jim Hancock. The Assistant City Manager pointed out the location of Oak Creek Estates on a zoning map. He stated that Phase One and Phase Two had already been approved. He further stated that Freese and Nichols, consulting engineers, had been asked to review the plans of Oak Creek Estates. A letter from Freese and Nichols stating their recommendations for changes is attached hereto and made a part hereof of the Minutes of the City Council Meeting of the City of Grapevine. The Assistant City Manager on behalf of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Staff made the follwoing recommendations on items referred to in the letter from Freese & Nichols. Drainage: The Developer, Joe Wright agreed to deleniate on the plat the required easement for storm drainage off the Oak Forest Street cul-de-sac. The Developer agreed to revise the construction plans to provide for adequate storm drains and 4 curb inlets in lieu of the concrete flumes as shown on the plans as submitted. The Developer agreed to construct a concrete culvert long enough to accomodate a curb radius of 20 feet at the intersection of Briarwood and Timberline. Pavinq: The Engineer' s letter recommended that Briarwood Drive (a 50 ft. street) be continued to the North property line of Oak Creek Estates to serve future development. However, after meeting with the Developer, it was learned that he desired to have the West portion of the development more private for people who desire the privacy and less traffic. It was the recommendation of the administrative staff that the street not extend to the North property line in order to prevent making a thoroughfare of a 40 foot street since traffic flow could be accomplished from other directions. It was recommended that the developer be permitted to construct the streets according to the present specifications provided in the City Code (8-3-4) since the City Code does not provide the City with the ability to require the specification as outlined in the City Code (8-3-5) . ; Water: It was recommended by the City Staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission that the City make a study to determine the size of the water line required in Briarwood Street and if a larger than 6" be required to serve Oak Creek Estates only, or if it is determined that a larger than 6" be required to serve beyond the subdivision, the City and the Developer can work out a mutually satisfactory agreement for any oversizing re- quired by the City. ; � z � � ; � � € � It was recommended by the City Staff and the Planning and # Zoning Commission that the valves as recommended by the � :` - Engineers be omitted and that the alternate method of € t using a plug and cast iron sleeve be used for testing � the lines. � It was recommended by the City Staff and the Planning and � Zoning Commission that asbestos-cement pipe be used as � recommended by the Engineers. � It was recommended by the City Staff and the Planning and � [ Zoning Commission that PVC pipe be used for the sewer lines. ; � � It was finally recommended by the City Staff and the Planning � and Zoning Commission that the City Staff review the revised � plans for conformance to the above recommendations if accepted � by the City Council. � � ; There was little discussion and Councilman Pirkle made a ` motion to approve final plat and construction plans for the � third filing of Oak Creek Estates as explained by Assistant � � City Manager Hancock. Councilman Dalton seconded the motion � and the motion prevailed by the following vote: � Ayes : Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, and Dunn } Nays : None t a 5¢ C There being no further business Councilman Dalton made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

ANTHONr REIO Mr. Floy Ezell City of Grapevine P. 0. Box 307 Grapevine, Texas 76051 Re: Oak Creek Estates Subdivision Review GPV 76007 Dear Mr. Ezell : At your request, we have reviewed the plans for Oak Creek Estates. The results of our review are as follows: Drainage: 1'he final plat does not show an easement for the pro- posed flume off the Oak Forest cul-de-sac. No computations were submitted for storm runoff, so we cannot comment on --� the adequacy of drainage facilities insofar as size and slope are con- � cerned. Generally, however, we would comment that the proposed flumes appear to be in conflict with the Code requirement that surface drain- age ditches not be employed where a 48" pipe or smaller would convey the water. We therefore, recommend that storm drains with inlets be employed to convey the drainage to the water course on the west side of the devel- opment in the cul-de-sacs. These storm drains and in fact, any drainage structure should discharge at the flowline of the creek through a headwall with adequate wingwalls and toewall . it would be desirable, but not essen- tial , to build two (2) inlets at the intersection of Briarwood and Timber- line, with a storm drain carrying the runoff to the creek. Pavin9: It is felt that Briarwood prive should eventually serve to connect Timberline with Mustang Drive. A 50 foot right-of-way should �,�therefore be provided, and the right-of-way should cross Lot 11 , Block T. Due to the depth and frequency of cuts in the proposed streets, it is be- lieved that clay will be frequently encountered in the street subgrade. No laboratory test have been presented to show the plasiticity of the subgrade. We therefore recommend that the paving section consist of 6" of lime stabilized subgrade, stabilized with not less than 6% by weight of lime added. We also recommend that the paving section required by paragraph 8-3-5 of the City Code be used which will result in a section consisting of 6" of asphaltic concrete over 6" of lime stabilized sub- � grade. The paving specified in paragraph 8-3-4 of the Code and shown on the proposed plans is not considered to be adequate for residential � street use.

Page Two ' Water: No evidence has been presented to demonstrate the adequacy of the size of the proposed water lines. Since the lines in the east- west streets are ,l Oj� feet long, it is recommended that the water line in Briarwood Drive be increased to an 8" pipe. This would increase the . pressure in the east-west lines, and would provide for a future extension north on Briarwood. • It is further recommended that a gate valve be in�talled at the east end of the proposed 6" water lines in Oak Forest, Wentwood, , Canyon, and Columbine so that these lines can be pressure tested.� ��lterna�ival�, .a plug_and cast iron sleeve may be used_ to test_these lines and subse= ,quently connect them.� ---- -"- Water lines shall be constructed of asbestos-cement pipe. It has been called to our attention that the City of Grapevine has previously ap- proved the use of PVC pipe in sanitary sewers, and has approved PVC . pi pe for thi s devel opment. Ho�rev��-nv-ap�r-ovaa--e#--P�C-��$e-a-s--i�e�°e�-� made. We cannot make any final recommendation on this development until we , have reviewed revised plans incorporating changes previously agreed to with the Developer and the changes stated in this letter. _ Yours very truly, F EESE AND NICHOLS _.--- Ande son, P.E. :�,GA: p .�. o;
