It is within Denton County and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Sanger. The proposed development will create 47 lots with a minimum size of 1 acre. It is desired to construct the development in generally in accordance with the City of Sangers regulations for estate developments. However, estate developments require a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. Therefore, a number of variances are necessary. In particular we are presenting a request to not construct sidewalks. Variance Requests: Below is a list of references in the Subdivision Ordinance where the requirements for sidewalks are discussed: • 10.105 General Plat Requirements, (3) Gated Community/Private Streets, (L), Sidewalks and Bikeways o Does not apply as this is not a gated community or private streets. • 10.106 Improvements, ( c ) Sidewalks o Request to not require sidewalks Attachment A is a set of excerpts from the Subdivision Ordinance regarding the requirements for sidewalks and some excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance where sidewalks are mentioned. Hopefully these will help establish the framework for our request. Page 126 Page 2 of 3 Discussion: As noted above, we are not constructing nor proposing a gated community or private streets. Therefor Section 10.105 of the Subdivision Ordinance does not apply. In regards to Section 10.106 please consider: The City of Sanger specifies that sidewalks are a publics work improvement to be constructed within the right of way, by the developer, to city standards, dedicated to the City, maintained by the developer for the warranty period (warranty bond) and then maintained by the City. Denton County does not allow sidewalks in the right of way and will not maintain sidewalks. Denton County and the City of Sanger have an interlocal agreement that requires the more stringent condition to be implemented. It seems to us that not allowing sidewalks is the more stringent condition. The proposed development does not include any common areas or amenities that would be served by a pedestrian system. There are not any public facilities or areas of common interest within a 10 to 15 minute walking distances that would be served by these sidewalks. There are not any existing sidewalks in the immediate area or nearby for which these sidewalks would complete or compliment a pedestrian system. The City does not have any capital improvements plans to extend sidewalks out to the area. If sidewalks were allowed or if they were constructed in public sidewalk easements then it is not clear how the city would maintain sidewalks in the county. If sidewalks were constructed in a public sidewalk easement, then there is still not a provision to connect the sidewalks via a sidewalk with bridges crossing the Denton County right of way as the county does not allow sidewalks. Then there is still the issue of sidewalk maintenance. We are not averse to constructing sidewalks in the development (mostly as houses are constructed) if the City and the County can make arrangements to accommodate city sidewalks in the county (ETJ) areas. Conclusions: It is our humble opinion that the City of Sanger does not have all of the pieces in place to require sidewalks in its developments in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. However, we are seeking a variance to be sure this is fully vetted. We do suggest that the City should meet with the county to determine wha t if any means is available to construct a public sidewalk system in the county along with city maintenance. Page 127 Page 3 of 3 Once this is accomplished then if may be appropriate to amend the city ordinances to discuss sidewalks in ETJ developments as well as within the city limits. Contacts: Lee Allison, P.E., applicant or Randall Smith, owner may be contacted regarding additional information needed to consider this request.

Page 131 Sec. 10.105 General Plat Requirements All requirements pertaining to lot size, yard size, dwelling size, lot coverage, height, parking, loading and screening contained in the current zoning ordinance of the city shall be adhered to for development under this article. (1) Streets. (A) The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all proposed streets shall conform to the general plan of the community, and their relationship shall be considered to that of the existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. (B) The reservation in private ownership of strips of land, at the end of offered or existing streets intended solely or primarily for the purpose of controlling access to property not included in the subdivision shall be prohibited. (C) Where such is not shown in the general plan for the community, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall: (i) Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing principal streets in surrounding areas; (ii) Conform to a plan for the neighborhood approved or adopted by the city to meet a situation where topographical or other conditions make continuation of or conformance to an existing street impracticable; and (iii) Be planned so that they shall intersect, as nearly as possible, at right angles. (D) Residential streets shall be aligned so that their use by through traffic is discouraged. (E) In phased developments, streets which are continuous through more than a single phase shall be provided with temporary turnarounds (at the point of temporary termination) until the street is fully constructed per the original approved plan. (F) Developers shall be required to coordinate all planning and engineering work with all adjacent property owners/developers. (G) Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet (125') shall be avoided. (H) The street minimum right-of-way widths and centerline radius shall be in accordance with the city’s thoroughfare plan and shall conform to the following: Code Type of Street Minimum Right- of-Way Width Minimum Centerline Radii Intersection FW Freeway 200 feet Varies varies P4U Principal arterial four lane undivided 100 feet 150' 1,000 feet P3U Principal arterial three lane undivided 75 feet 85' 1,000 feet M4U Minor arterial four lane undivided 80 feet 90' 1,000 feet C2U Collector two lane undivided 60 feet 75' 500 feet R2U Residential/local two lane undivided 50 feet 70' 250 feet REU Residential/estate two lane undivided 60 feet 75' 250 feet (I) Streets shall be classified according to the following: Page 132 (i) Arterial (Principal, Minor): The main function of arterial is to carry traffic from one urban area to another. The thoroughfare system serves the major activity centers of urbanized areas. An arterial is used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion of the total traffic with a minimum of mileage. (ii) Collector: Carries traffic from local streets to arterial. Also, may serve local facilities such as schools and churches. Uses served would include medium and high density residential, limited commercial facilities, elementary schools, some small offices and as direct access within industrial parks. Collector streets also carry heavy traffic to major commercial and industrial facilities from thoroughfare. Uses would include office parks, industrial parks, and community level commercial facilities. (iii) Residential/Local: Carries traffic from residential and commercial areas to collector streets and interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration. (iv) Residential/Estate: Carries traffic from rural residential areas to collector streets and interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration. This type of street section can only be utilized in residential subdivisions of lots at least 1-1/2 acres in size. (J) Street widths proposed for industrial subdivisions or commercial developments shall be not less than that required for a collector. (K) Half streets shall be prohibited, except where there is no alternative for reasonable development of the subdivision in conformance with the other requirements of these regulations and where the city finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property is subdivided. Wherever a half street has already been provided adjacent to an area to be subdivided, the other remaining portion of the street shall be platted within such subdivision. Where part of a residential or collector street is being dedicated along a common property line, the first dedication shall be one-half (1/2) of the proposed street right-of-way plus five feet (5') unless a construction easement on the adjoining parcel has been obtained, and the developer shall construct the half street or place in escrow cash for the estimated half-paving cost as determined by the city council. (L) Cul-de-sacs in residential additions shall not be longer than six hundred feet (600') from the nearest intersection, except under unusual conditions with the approval of the city council, and there shall be provided at the closed-end a turnaround having a minimum outside roadway diameter of eighty- one feet (81'). In industrial areas, cul-de-sacs shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000') from the nearest intersecting street, and there shall be provided at the closed-end a turnaround having a minimum outside roadway diameter of one hundred feet (100') and a minimum street property line diameter of one hundred feet (100'). Alternate turnaround designs in residential tract developments which provide adequate turnaround area may be considered or approved by the city. (M) All streets shall be paved, and paving shall conform to the requirements of section 10.106, improvements, of these regulations. (N) Street grades shall be established regarding topography, proposed land-use and the facilities in the area surrounding the land to be subdivided. Minimum grades shall be five-tenths percent (0.50%) on concrete streets and five-tenths percent (0.50%) on all other types of street paving. Cross (transverse) slopes between pavement and the right-of-way shall not be less than 100:1 or steeper than 3:1. Where necessary, additional right-of-way or slope easement shall be provided to meet this requirement. (O) Street name markers shall be installed in accordance with the prescribed type currently in use by the city or an approved equal, as approved by the city manager. Street markers and erections will be at the expense of the subdivider. (P) The materials for all traffic-control and regulatory signs shall be furnished by the subdivider and installed by the city for all intersections within or abutting the subdivision. Such signs shall be in strict compliance with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration and according to the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic-Control Devices, latest edition. No signs will be placed in undeveloped portions of the subdivision. (Q) The subdivider shall comply with the guidelines and criteria for driveways, including the design requirements, grades, spacing, and access standards as provided by the city’s thoroughfare plan. (R) If a proposed development is projected to generate a lesser traffic volume than would normally require roadways as specified in the master thoroughfare plan, the developer may install a “minimum acceptable alternative” approved by the city. The full right-of-way and pavement thickness are Page 133 unchanged. Only the outside two (2) lanes would be paved in this situation. The city must approve the use of this option. (2) Alleys. (A) Alleys are not required, except where the city has determined that one is necessary for adequate service access, such as off-street loading, unloading and parking consistent with and adequate for the uses proposed. (B) All alleys shall be paved with reinforced concrete, and the paving shall conform to section 10.106, improvements, of these regulations. (C) All alleys must be privately maintained by the homeowners’ association or other entity. (D) The minimum width of any alley shall be twenty feet (20') in industrial and commercial areas and fifteen feet (15’) in residential areas. (E) Alley intersections, sudden changes in alignment, and dead-end alleys shall be avoided. (F) Residential driveway and alley pavement cuts must be approved by the city engineer onto loop and major thoroughfares. Alleys on frontage roads shall be provided along side and rear lot lines which front on loop and major thoroughfares for rear entrance. (3) Gated Community/Private Streets. (A) Private streets in gated communities shall conform to the same standards regulating the design and construction of public streets. A gated community will only be permitted in a planned development (PD) zoning district. (B) Any gate installation must conform to the following provisions: (i) All gate installations must be approved by the city prior to installation. The installation must be completed and tested prior to the city’s acceptance of the subdivision. (ii) Gate design may incorporate one or two gate sections to meet the required minimum gate width of twenty-four feet (2'). If the entrance will incorporate a median, guard shack or similar structure that necessitates a divided gate arrangement, the gate widths may be reduced if approved by the city, but in no case shall any single gate or street pavement have a clear opening of less than twenty (20) feet. (iii) Approach and departure areas on both sides of a gated entrance must provide adequate setbacks and proper alignment to allow free and unimpeded passage of emergency vehicles through the entrance area. All entry gates must be setback a minimum of 100 ft from any adjacent public street right-of-way to allow for vehicle stacking out of the public travel lanes. Any exception must be approved by the city. (iv) Automatic gate installations must conform to the design and performance guidelines established by the fire chief and directors of transportation and public works. (v) All components of the gate system must be maintained in an approved operating condition, with all components serviced and maintained on a regular basis as needed to insure proper gate operation. A proper power supply shall be maintained to all electrical and electronic components at all times. (vi) Each security gate regulated under this section will be subject to a performance test as determined by either the fire chief or public works or a designated city official. Upon failure of a performance test, the security gate system shall be disabled and maintained in the open position until repaired and shall not be placed back in service until tested and authorized by the city. (vii) All streets, gates and other fire protection features, signage, and equipment are subject to periodic inspection by the city and must be repaired immediately if found to be in condition of disrepair. The city shall have the right to enter the subdivision and disable, open, or remove any gate, device, or other feature that impedes or controls vehicle access at the sole expense of the homeowner’s association. Emergency repairs shall be assessed against the homeowner’s association. (viii) The person or corporation in control of the property is responsible for, and liable for any violations of this section. This includes, but is not limited to, the developer, property owner, the homeowner’s association and its officers, if applicable, or other who may own or exercise control over the property. (C) Property Associations Required. Subdivisions developed with private streets or alleys must have a Page 134 mandatory property owners association which includes all property served by private streets or alleys. The association shall own and be responsible for the maintenance of private streets, parks and other homeowner association appurtenances. The association documents shall be reviewed by the city attorney and subject to approval by the city to ensure that they conform to this and other applicable city ordinances and concerns. The documents shall be filed of record prior to the approval of the final plat. Lot deeds may not be dissolved without the prior written consent of the city. No portion of the association documents pertaining to the maintenance of the private streets and alleys and assessments therefore [therefor] may be amended without the written consent of the city. (D) Private Street Lot. Private streets and alleys must be constructed within a separate lot owned by the property owners’ association. This lot must conform to the city’s standards for public street and alley right-of-way. An easement covering the street lot shall be granted to the city providing unrestricted use of the property for utilities and storm drainage systems and the maintenance of same. This right shall extend to all utility providers including telecable companies, operating within the city. The easement shall also provide the city or its contractors with the right of access for any purpose related to the exercise of a governmental service or function, including but not limited to fire and police protection, inspection and code enforcement, trash collection or utility maintenance. The easement shall permit the city to remove any vehicle or obstacle within the street lot that impairs emergency access. (E) Construction and Maintenance Cost. The city shall not pay for any portion of the cost of construction or maintaining a private street. The homeowners’ association shall maintain an escrow account as approved by the city for all road maintenance. (F) Reserved. (G) City Utilities. Water, sewer and drainage facilities placed within the private street and alley lot shall be installed to city standards and dedicated to the city as part of the approval of the final plat. All city regulations relating to infrastructure, financing, developer cost participation and capital cost recovery shall apply to developments with private streets except for those applying to internal street construction. (i) Street lights and signs shall be installed and maintained by the homeowners’ association subject to approval by the city. (ii) The property association documents shall give the city the right, after giving written notice to perform maintenance upon streets and alleys to protect health, safety and welfare of the residents and to place a lien upon the lots within the association to recover the cost of such maintenance. (H) Plans and Inspections. Developments proposed with private streets must submit to the city the same plans and engineering information required to construct public streets and utilities. Requirements pertaining to inspection and approval of improvements prior to issuance of building permits shall apply. Inspection fees charged for these services shall also apply. The city may periodically inspect private streets and require repairs necessary to ensure emergency access. (I) Waiver of Services. The subdivision final plat, property deeds and property owners’ association documents shall note that certain city services shall not be provided on private streets. Among the services which will not be provided are: routine police patrols, street lighting, enforcement of traffic and parking ordinances and preparation of accident reports. All private traffic regulatory signs shall conform to the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic-Control Devices. Depending on the characteristics of the proposed development other services may not be provided. (J) Petition to Convert to Public Streets. The property association documents shall allow the association to request [that] the city accept private streets and alleys and the associated property as public streets and right-of-way upon written notice to all association members and the favorable vote of 75% of the membership. However, in no event shall the city be obligated to accept said streets and alleys as public. Should the city elect to accept the streets and alleys as public, the city may inspect the private streets and assess the lot owners for the expense of needed repairs concurrent with the city’s acceptance of the street and alleys. The city will be the sole judge of whether repairs are needed. The city may also require, at the association’s expense, the removal of guard houses, access control devices, landscaping or other aesthetic amenities located within the street lot. The association document shall provide for the city’s right to such assessment. Those portions of the association documents pertaining to the subject matter contained in this paragraph shall not be amended without the written consent of the city. Page 135 (K) Hold Harmless. On the subdivision final plat shall be language whereby the property owners association, as owner of the private streets and appurtenances, agrees to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the city, any governmental entity and public utility for damages to the private street occasioned by the reasonable use of the private street by the city, governmental entity or public utility, for damages and injury (including death) arising from the condition of said private street; for damages and injury (including death) arising out of the use by the city, governmental entity or public utility of any restricted access gate or entrance; and for damages and injury (including death) arising out of any use of the subdivision by the city, governmental entity or public entity. Further, such language shall provide that all the owners of all lots shall release the city, governmental entities and public utilities for such damages and injuries. The indemnifications contained in this paragraph apply regardless of whether such damages and injury (including death) are caused by the negligent act or omission of the city, governmental entity or public utility, or their representative officers, employees or agents. (L) Sidewalks and Bikeways. (i) Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with city standards for all lots adjoining dedicated streets, along major thoroughfares where lots do not adjoin the street or in other areas as required by the city. Sidewalk construction may be delayed until development of lots, but in locations not adjacent to lots and across bridges and culverts, the sidewalk shall be constructed with the other improvements to the subdivision or addition. Exceptions to this section must be approved by the city. (ii) Pedestrian Accesses. The city may require, in order to facilitate Pedestrian access from the streets to schools, parks, playgrounds, or other nearby streets, perpetual unobstructed easements at least fifteen (15) feet in width.

It is within Denton County and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Sanger. The proposed development will create 47 lots with a minimum size of 1 acre. It is desired to construct the development in generally in accordance with the City of Sangers regulations for estate developments. However, estate developments require a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. Therefore, a number of variances are necessary. In particular we are presenting a request to not construct street lights. Variance Requests: Below is a list of references in the Subdivision Ordinance where the requirements for street lights are discussed: • 10.104 Procedure, ( c ) Preliminary Plat o Defines street lights as a public improvement and indicates that the preliminary plat must provide sufficient information regarding the provision of public utilities. • 10.104 Procedure, ( f ) Construction of Improvements o Calls for the relative location of proposed public improvements to be shown. It does not require any particular improvement. Page 143 Page 2 of 3 Attachment A is a set of excerpts from the Subdivision Ordinance regarding the requirements for street lights and some excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance where street lights are mentioned. Hopefully these will help establish the framework for our request. Discussion: As noted above, we are not constructing nor proposing a gated community or private streets. Therefor Section 10.105 of the Subdivision Ordinance does not apply. We were not able to find any language in the code that explicitly requires street lights. We did find language regarding the inclusion of street lights and the specifications for the lights. It could be argued that the requirements for street lights are implied but we also believe that it could be argued that the reference to street lights is only for those instances where they are proposed and appropriate. In regards to Section 10.104 please consider: The City of Sanger specifies that street lights are a public works improvement to be constructed within the right of way, by the developer, to city standards, dedicated to the City, maintained by the developer for the warranty period (warranty bond) and then maintained by the City. Denton County does not allow street lights in the right of way and will not maintain street lights. Denton County and the City of Sanger have an interlocal agreement that requires the more stringent condition to be implemented. It seems to us that not allowing street lights is the more stringent condition. There are not any existing developments with street lights in the general area of the development. The City does not have any capital improvements plans to extend street lights out to the area. If street lights are required then they must be constructed in public utility easements dedicated to the City of Sanger. If constructed in public utility easements then there is still the issue of street light maintenance. We are not averse to constructing street lights in the development if the City and the County can make arrangements to accommodate city street lights in the county (ETJ) areas. Conclusions: It is our humble opinion that the City of Sanger does not have all of the pieces in place to require street lights in its developments in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. However, we are seeking a variance to be sure this is fully vetted. We do suggest that the City should meet with the county to determine wha t if any means is available to construct a public street lights system in the county along with city maintenance. Page 144 Page 3 of 3 Once this is accomplished then it may be appropriate to amend the city ordinances to discuss street light in ETJ developments as well as within the city limits. Contacts: Lee Allison, P.E., applicant or Randall Smith, owner may be contacted regarding additional information needed to consider this request. We are confident that the City of Sanger will give reasonable and responsible consideration of this request. We eagerly look forward to working with the City to help shape the future of Sanger.

It is within Denton County and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Sanger. The proposed development will create 47 lots with a minimum size of 1 acre. It is desired to construct the development in generally in accordance with the City of Sangers regulations for estate developments. However, estate developments require a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. Therefore, a number of variances are necessary. In particular we are presenting a request to construct water system improvements. Variance Requests: Below is a list of references in the Subdivision Ordinance where the requirements for street lights are discussed: Sec. 10.103 Purposes, Authority and Jurisdiction (a) Under the authority of chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code, as amended, which is hereby made a part of these regulations, the city does hereby adopt the following regulations to control the subdivision of land within the corporate limits of the city and in the unincorporated areas lying within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city, in order to provide for the orderly development of the areas and to secure adequate provisions for traffic, light, air, recreation, transportation, water, drainage, sewage and other facilities. Page 163 Page 2 of 3 The Subdivision Ordinance has many more references to design of water systems, specifications and platting. However, those do not appear pertinent to this request. Discussion: There is not any question that the Subdivision Ordinance is applicable in the ETJ. As noted above, the city does have authority to “secure adequate provisions” for water. Bolivar Water Supply Corporation (BWSC) has a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) issued by the State of Texas that essentially establishes BWSC as the sole provider of public water service in this area. The City of Sanger does not possess such a CCN in this area. The City does have a CCN issued by the State of Texas with a prescribed service area boundary. The City does not have an interlocal agreement with BWSC regarding the review of plans and specifications for public water supply within the City’s ETJ. In accordance with its Subdivision Ordinance it does seem appropriate that the City of Sanger require the developer to obtain approvals from BWSC for the water system design prior to approval of a final plat. It does not appear that the Subdivision Ordinance or the Texas Local Government code gives the City the authority to overrule BWSC’s requirements for the design and construction of a public water supply system. Conclusions: It is our humble opinion that the City of Sanger may require that the design for the water system improvements be approved by BWSC before the final plat can be approved and that BWSC must accept the construction before final acceptance will be issued for the completion of improvements. It is also our opinion that the City does not posses the right to impose its design requirements on the developer. We are seeking a variance as a means of making this determination. Contacts: Lee Allison, P.E., applicant or Randall Smith, owner may be contacted regarding additional information needed to consider this request. We are confident that the City of Sanger will give reasonable and responsible consideration of this request. We eagerly look forward to working with the City to help shape the future of Sanger.

The Page 170 crown at the pavement centerline shall be four inches (4") above the gutter grade on residential streets and six inches (6") on collector streets and secondary thoroughfares. For divided streets, the transverse slope shall be as required by the city engineer. (F) Lime Stabilization. Refer to NCTCOG Standard Specifications, division 4, item 4.6. (c) Sidewalks. Refer to NCTCOG Standard Specifications, division 8, item 8.3. (1) Concrete sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of streets and thoroughfares, except in industrial areas and along residential/estate streets, by the subdivider. The sidewalks shall have a width of not less than four feet (4') and thickness of not less than four inches (4") and shall be constructed of three thousand (3,000) p.s.i. concrete on both sides of all streets within the subdivision and of a width not less than eight feet (8') on all major thoroughfares. Sidewalks shall be constructed one foot (1') from the property line within the street or thoroughfare right-of-way and shall extend along the street frontage including the side of corner lots and block ends. Alternate sidewalk designs may be considered and shall be approved on a case-by-case basis by the city. (2) Construction of sidewalks adjacent to curb in residential areas will be considered where driveway entrances are constructed from the rear of lots on each side of the street for the full length of the block or where mountable curbs are installed. In these instances, the sidewalks shall be five feet (5') wide. (3) Sidewalks in commercial areas shall be a minimum width of six feet (6') or extend from the back of the curb to the building line as required by the city. (4) Sidewalks in industrial areas and planned developments will be as required by the city. (5) All concrete for sidewalks shall be placed on a two-inch (2") sand cushion. (6) Longitudinal slope of sidewalks shall be that of the curb adjacent to the sidewalk. The longitudinal slope of the sidewalk shall be one-fourth inch (1/4") per foot starting at the back of the curb. The maximum ground slope from the back of the curb to the property line shall not exceed six percent (6%). If it does exceed six percent (6%), a retaining wall, that is acceptable to the city, shall be provided on the property line or the private property graded to a 3:1 maximum slope. (d) Drainage and Storm Sewer Improvements. (1) General. Drainage facilities shall be provided and constructed by the developer in accordance with all city standards and the following basic requirements. If development utilizes residential/estate street section and is located within the ETJ of the City of Sanger at the time improvements are constructed, the developer’s engineer shall follow the current Denton County Subdivision Rules and Regulations as outlined in section VIII - chapter IV titled “drainage-design.” (2) Runoff Calculations. (A) The selection of which method to use for calculating runoff depends upon the size of the contributing drainage area at the most downstream point of the project. The “rational method” is acceptable for designing projects in which the drainage area is less than two hundred (200) acres. A unit hydrograph method is required for projects with larger drainage areas. (B) No matter which method is used to calculate runoff, a developer or builder of property greater than one (1) acre in size, or any property that was platted as a part of an overall tract which was greater than one (1) acre in size (including churches and schools), shall develop the property so that the rate of runoff created by the development as it leaves the property does not exceed the rate of runoff that would have been created if the property had developed as a single-family residential property. (C) Runoff computations shall be based upon fully developed watershed conditions in accordance with the land use projections in the latest master plan. The design engineer shall size drainage facilities by disregarding the detention effects of upstream property and calculating the runoff as if the off-site property was developed without any detention. If an approved regional detention/retention facility is in operation, the design engineer may size downstream drainage facilities based on consideration of the detention effects of the regional facility. (D) Procedure for drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres: (i) Computation of stormwater runoff for drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres shall be by the “rational method,” which is based on the principle that the maximum rate of runoff from a given drainage area for an assumed rainfall intensity occurs when all parts of the area are contributing to the Page 171 flow at the point of discharge. The formula for calculation of runoff by the “rational method” is: Q = CIA Where: Q = the maximum rate of discharge, expressed in cubic feet per second. C = Coefficient of runoff. Park areas - No developed land 0.30 Developed Park sites 0.40 Single-Family Residential 0.55 Duplex 0.60 Multiple Family 0.70 Schools 0.70 Churches 0.70 Neighborhood Commercial 0.70 Office Commercial 0.70 Commercial 0.85 Industrial 0.85 I = Intensity of Runoff in inches per hour (use appendix A - IDF curve). A = Drainage area in acres. (ii) Time of concentration is the longest time, without interruption of flow by detention devices that a drop of water takes to flow from the farthest point of the drainage area to the point of concentration (i.e. the point of design). The time of concentration is composed of the inlet time and the flow time in a conduit or channel to the point of design. (iii) When designing inlets and laterals, the time of concentration is equal to the inlet time. The design engineer will compare the above specified inlet times to the actual calculated inlet time by computing the flow time overland and along the gutter to the first inlet. Manning’s equation shall be used to determine flow time to the inlet. The design engineer may use the actual calculated or specified inlet time. a. The inlet time shall be ten (10) minutes for property zoned multiple family, churches, schools, local business, central business, commercial, or industrial. b. An inlet time of fifteen (15) minutes shall be used for property zoned for parks, cemeteries, agricultural, and single-family residential. (E) Procedures for drainage areas greater than two hundred (200) acres: (i) For drainage areas in excess of two hundred (200) acres where the use of the “rational method” does not provide reliable results, the use of a unit hydrograph method shall be made. The use of a unit hydrograph calculation will be based upon standard and accepted engineering principles subject to the approval of the city engineer. Acceptable methods include the soil conservation service (SCS) technical release number 55 or the Corps of Engineers HEC-1 models for drainage areas 200 acres or more. (ii) The unit hydrograph method shall be based upon fully developed watershed conditions assuming no effects from the small on-site detention facilities for maintaining the rate of runoff as if the property was developed as single-family residential use. The detention effects of large regional detention Page 172 facilities can be considered in unit hydrograph methods. (iii) Circumstances that may require the use of a unit hydrograph method include sizing open channels, reclaiming floodplains, creating lakes, or building other types of drainage-related facilities on major drainage courses. Design engineers of these types of facilities should be aware that the requirement of designing for fully developed watershed conditions will mean that they will have to calculate these fully developed flows instead of using the flows calculated in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) flood insurance studies for Sanger or Denton County. (3) Design Storm Frequencies. The approved drainage system shall provide for positive overflow at all low points. The term “positive overflow” means that when the inlets do not function properly or when the design capacity of the conduit is exceeded, the excess flow can be conveyed overland along a grassed or paved course. Normally, this would mean along a street or alley, or shall require the dedications of special drainage easements on private property. Drainage Facility Design Recurrenceinterval Closed Storm Sewer Systems 10-year with 100-year positive overflow in streets such that the depth of flow in the street does not exceed the top of curb. Closed Storm Sewer Systems and Inlets at Street Low Point or Sag 100-year with positive overflow Culverts and Bridges 100-year Concrete-lined Channels 100-year Earthen Channels 100-year (4) Street and Alley Capacity. (A) The depth of flow in the streets shall not exceed the top of curb for the 100-year storm. (B) The flows created by the 100-year storm shall be contained within the capacity of all paved alleys. (C) The first-floor elevations of all residential and other structures shall be set at a minimum elevation of one foot above the top of the street curb elevation or the alley invert, and with positive drainage provided away from the structure. Positive overflow sections shall provide a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard from the overflow invert adjacent to structures and the corresponding first floor elevation of all residential and other structures. (5) Inlet Placement and Capacity. (A) Storm sewer inlets shall be built along paved streets at such intervals that the depth of flow, based upon the 100-year storm, does not exceed the top of curb. Inlets shall be located as necessary to remove the flow based on a 100-year storm. If in the opinion of the city engineer the flow in the gutters would be excessive using the above design criteria, the storm sewers or inlet locations could be altered to relieve adverse conditions. (B) Inlets shall be placed upstream from an intersection whenever possible. At any intersection, only one street shall be crossed with surface drainage and this street shall be the lower classified street. When an alley intersects a street, inlets shall be placed in the alley whenever flow down that alley would cause the capacity of the intersecting street to be exceeded. (C) The minimum inlet size shall be five (5) feet. No more than twenty (20) feet of inlet shall be placed along one gutter at any given location. Minimum sizes of laterals shall be 18 inches for use with 5-foot inlets, 21-inch laterals with 10-foot, 15 foot, and drop inlets and 24-inch laterals for 20-foot inlets. Where laterals tie into trunk lines, place the laterals on a 60-degree angle with the trunk line and connect them so that the longitudinal centers intersect. (6) Pipe Design Standards. (A) Storm sewer conduit shall be sized to flow full. Manning’s equation shall be used to determine the Page 173 conduit size. (B) Minimum and maximum velocities in pipes: (i) The minimum velocities in conduit shall be 2.5 feet per second. (ii) Maximum velocity in the pipe shall not exceed 12 feet per second. (iii) The maximum discharge velocities in the pipe shall also not exceed the permitted velocity of the receiving channel or conduit at the outfall to prevent erosive conditions. The maximum outfall velocity of a conduit in partial flow shall be computed for partial depth and shall not exceed the maximum permissible velocity of the receiving channel unless controlled by an appropriate energy dissipater (e.g. stilling basins, impact basins, riprap protection). (C) In general, stormwater shall be carried in concrete pipe conduit, but other types of conduit can be used to carry stormwater. However, prior permission to use other conduit materials must be obtained from the city engineer. (D) Hydraulic gradient: (i) Conduits must be sized, and slopes must be set such that runoff flows smoothly down the drainage system. To insure this smooth passage, the hydraulic gradient must be at the proper elevations. The hydraulic grade line shall be established and shown on the plans for all storm sewer design. (ii) The hydraulic grade line shall in no case be closer to the surface of the ground or street than one (1) foot. (iii) Hydraulic gradient calculations shall account for all head losses that may occur in the storm sewer line. Friction head loss shall be determined by direct application of Manning’s Equation. Minor losses due to turbulence at structures shall be determined using appendix B of this section. (7) Culvert Design. (A) One (1) foot of freeboard is required between the 100-year water surface elevation and the top of curb elevation. Exceptions must be approved in writing by the city engineer. (B) Culverts must be designed using standard methods and engineering judgment. Culverts shall be designed in accordance with the latest edition of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Hydraulic Design Manual. Standards of the City of Sanger will take precedence over TxDOT Manual in cases of conflict. (C) Culvert hydraulic grade line calculations shall consider both inlet and outlet control. (D) Culverts shall be skewed such that impacts due to the flood and normal flow angles of attack on the structure are minimized. (E) The maximum velocity through a culvert shall be fifteen (15) feet per second. (F) Stream stability shall be assessed when determining the number of barrels, height and width and culvert skew. Potential for scour shall be accounted for in the design. (8) Bridges. (A) Two (2) feet of freeboard is required between the 100-year water surface elevation and the low chord of the bridge. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the city engineer in writing. (B) The skew of the bridge piers and abutments shall be oriented as close to the normal or flood direction of flow resulting in an angle of attack as close to 0 degrees as possible. (C) Bridges shall be designed using standard methods. (D) Stream stability shall be assessed when designing the abutments and interior bents of the bridge. Scour shall be accounted for in the design. (9) Channels. (A) Open channels are discouraged in urban areas. Open channels may be used instead of an enclosed system when the pipe size, necessary to carry the design storm event, exceeds the capacity of 2 60-inch RCP. Open channels shall not be permitted when 2 60-inch RCP pipes will carry the design flow, unless approved by the city engineer. (B) Open channel design criteria: Page 174 (i) Channels may be left in their natural state provided that the channel velocities are 6.0 feet per second or less and that one (1) foot of freeboard is available during the design storm event. (ii) If the natural channel is to be replaced by an improved channel, the flow from the 100-year design flood must be contained within the improved channel while allowing for one (1) foot of freeboard. (iii) Improved channels shall be trapezoidal shaped and include a lined section if the design velocity is greater than six (6) feet per second. Lining types such as concrete, rock walls and gabions may be used upon approval of the city engineer. The maximum velocity allowed in concrete lined channels is fifteen (15) feet per second. (iv) Unless shown to be feasible in a soils report sealed by a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas and approved by the city engineer, improved channels shall have minimum side slopes of: a. Four (4) feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical for earthen, grassed-lined side slopes. b. 1.5 feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical for concrete-lined side slopes in rock. (v) Where practicable, all unpaved channels should have enough grade to avoid ponding during backwater flow conditions. A minimum slope of 0.50% is required for earthen channels and swales, except those used as part of a wetlands area. (vi) The developer or owner shall use low maintenance vegetation for vegetative cover, as approved by the city engineer prior to planting. The selection of materials shall comply with either the current ground cover listing for North Central Texas furnished through the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. (C) Manning’s equation can be used to design channels and determine water surface elevations and velocities when backwater effects are negligible. Channels where backwater effects occur must be designed using models accepted by FEMA. (D) All channel sections must consider and account for channel stabilization in their design. This requirement pertains to all sections whether they are left in their natural condition or are modified in any manner. The design of all drainage channels and swales shall assure adequate capacity and minimum maintenance to overcome the result of erosion, silting, sloughing of bends or similar occurrences. (E) When performing hydraulic analyses for channel or drainageway design, the starting water surface shall be based on the following criteria: (i) When the ratio of the drainage area of the receiving creek (at the confluence location) to the drainage area of the channel or drainageway being designed is 15 or greater, the 10-year water surface of the receiving creek shall be used as the starting water surface for hydraulic design calculations. For creeks where the 10-year water surface is not available, the slope-area method will be used for starting design calculations. (ii) When the ratio of the drainage area is less than 15, the 100-year elevation on the receiving creek shall be used as the starting water surface for design calculations. (10) Detention Design. Detention/retention facilities shall be designed for the 100-year design flood according to the following criteria: (A) Dedicated detention/retention basins shall also include an additional one (1) foot of freeboard and two (2) feet of sediment storage. The volume of runoff storage for drainage areas greater than two hundred (200) acres shall be computed using unit hydrograph procedures. Acceptable unit hydrograph procedures are provided in section XI.B.5 [section 10.106] of this document [article]. For drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres, the above methods are recommended; however, an approximate routing method based on the rational formula is allowable. (B) All detention facilities designed shall consider the timing of the flood peak in the main channel into which the detention facility drains. Delaying the peak from a site in lower portions of a watershed may result in a higher peak on the main channel. (C) A detention facility shall have enough gradient to ensure positive drainage to the outlet structures to avoid nuisance conditions such as standing water, odors, insects, and weeds. A minimum slope of 0.50% towards the outlet structure is required for all detention facilities. (D) Detention areas in parking lots shall not be: Page 175 (i) In required parking spaces but in extra spaces. (ii) Behind speed bumps unless the speed bumps are made with reinforced concrete. (iii) Deeper than six (6) inches unless otherwise approved by the city engineer and warning signs shall be posted. (E) Drainage easements shall be provided for all regional detention/retention facilities and for other detention/retention facilities where two (2) or more owners are involved. (F) Detention facilities shall be designed to empty in less than 24 hours, unless it is also serving as an erosion control facility. (G) Detention facilities used as a sediment control device shall meet the following requirements: (i) The sediment control facility shall be designed with minimal velocities such that sediment is dropped and not picked up by flows at any time during the storm event; (ii) The basin shall be designed with adequate sediment storage area so that sediment removal is not required more than twice a year. Expected removal periods greater than twice a year must be specified in the maintenance plan and approved by the city engineer; and, (iii) Sediment control facilities cannot be used to meet detention requirements unless the volume of sediment is included in the calculations for the detention basin design; (H) The owner shall maintain detention/retention facilities unless the facilities are dedicated to the City of Sanger. The following measures are required to ensure the facility functions properly: (i) Facilities should be mowed at least twice a year to control weeds and discourage woody growth; (ii) Debris, litter and accumulated sediment should be removed from detention facilities at least twice a year. Particular attention should be given to removal of debris, litter and sediment around outlet structures; and, (iii) Detention basins designed for sediment removal shall be maintained as specified in the maintenance plan and approved by the city with construction plan submittal. (11) Flumes. The widespread use of flumes is not recommended. Flumes shall not be permitted when the purpose of a permanent flume is to carry runoff down the sides of earthen channels. A flume may be used to direct overflow runoff along property lines until the runoff can be intercepted by streets or conduits. Flumes crossing sidewalks shall be covered or bridged such as to minimize Residential danger to pedestrians. (12) Grading and Drainage. (A) Surface runoff from residential lots shall cross no more than one additional lot before being directed toward the street or a dedicated drainage system. When the flow reaches the second lot, side lot swales shall be in place to direct the flows to the street or to a dedicated city drainage system within an easement in the rear yard. Furthermore, no more than one lot may drain to a second lot before the flow is directed to a street or to a dedicated city drainage system. Where lot to lot drainage occurs, the lot lines shall be aligned, and a dedicated private drainage easement shall be provided. (B) Three general categories of residential lot grading and drainage plans are anticipated within the City of Sanger as shown in Figure No. 1. Specific deviations from these three plans will be considered on an individual basis. (C) When adjacent to the floodplain, the finished floor (FF) elevation of commercial buildings shall be two foot [feet] (2') above the 100-year fully developed based flood elevation (BFE) of the ultimate floodplain. The FF elevation of residential buildings shall be two feet (2') above the 100-year fully developed based flood elevation (BFE). Appendix A. Intensity - Duration - Frequency Curve Appendix B. Minor Head Losses (e) Water Systems. Water systems shall be of enough size to furnish adequate domestic water, to furnish fire protection to all lots and shall conform to the city’s comprehensive plan and meet the requirements, in all respects, of the Texas Department of Health.

It is within Denton County and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Sanger. The proposed development will create 47 lots with a minimum size of 1 acre. It is desired to construct the development in generally in accordance with the City of Sangers regulations for estate developments. However, estate developments require a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. Therefore, a number of variances are necessary. In particular we are presenting a request to design and construct storm sewer systems in accordance with the Denton County Subdivision Regulations. Variance Requests: Below is a list of references in the Subdivision Ordinance where the requirements for storm sewer design are discussed: Sec. 10.106 Improvements (d) Drainage and Storm Sewer Improvements. (1) General. Drainage facilities shall be provided and constructed by the developer in accordance with all city standards and the following basic requirements. If development utilizes residential/estate street section and is located within the ETJ of the City of Sanger at the time improvements are constructed, the developer's engineer shall follow the current Denton County Subdivision Rules and Regulations as outlined in section VIII - chapter IV titled “drainage-design.” Page 186 Page 2 of 3 (12) Grading and Drainage. (A) Surface runoff from residential lots shall cross no more than one additional lot before being directed toward the street or a dedicated drainage system. When the flow reaches the second lot, side lot swales shall be in place to direct the flows to the street or to a dedicated city drainage system within an easement in the rear yard. Furthermore, no more than one lot may drain to a second lot before the flow is directed to a street or to a dedicated city drainage system. Where lot to lot drainage occurs, the lot lines shall be aligned, and a dedicated private drainage easement shall be provided. (B) Three general categories of residential lot grading and drainage plans are anticipated within the City of Sanger as shown in Figure No. 1. Specific deviations from these three plans will be considered on an individual basis. Note: We could not find Figure No. 1 when searching the ordinance. The Subdivision Ordinance has many more references to design of sanitary sewer systems, specifications and platting. However, those do not appear pertinent to this request. The Denton County Subdivision Regulations state in part the following: IV.2.1 General Design Considerations • Storm water systems should be planned and designed so as to generally conform to natural drainage patterns and discharge to natural drainage pathways within a drainage basin. These natural drainage pathways should only be modified as a last resort to contain and safely convey the peak flows generated by the development. • Runoff must be discharged in a manner that will not cause adverse impacts on downstream properties or storm water systems. In general, runoff from development sites within a drainage basin should be discharged at the existing natural drainage outlet or outlets. If the developer wishes to change discharge points he or she must demonstrate that the change will not have any adverse impacts on downstream properties or storm water (minor) systems. County regulations also state that concentrated runoff less than 25 cfs must be contained in swales. Discussion: According to the City of Sanger Subdivision Ordinance it is our opinion that the drainage analysis and system design should be performed in accordance with the Denton County contingent upon the City approval of our request to construct the residential/estate street section. Denton County does not prohibit lot to lot drainage. Concentrated flows less than 25 cfs are to be conveyed in a swale as opposed to a channel or underground storm sewer system. One area that has a concentrated flow over 25 cfs (~65 cfs) is less than 25 cfs from any direction before it is concentrated and then it leaves a naturally occurring stream. Page 187 Page 3 of 3 Once concentrated flows reach 25 cfs then private drainage easements will be provided to accommodate the swales. Detention is provided for other areas where the concentrated flow exceeds 25 cfs thereby satisfying the Denton County requirements for stormwater management. Flows to adjacent properties will be returned to the natural flow conditions prior to exiting the site. Conclusions: The design, platting and construction of storm sewer systems should be conducted in accordance with the Denton County Subdivision Regulations. Contacts: Lee Allison, P.E., applicant or Randall Smith, owner may be contacted regarding additional information needed to consider this request. We are confident that the City of Sanger will give reasonable and responsible consideration of this request. We eagerly look forward to working with the City to help shape the future of Sanger.

For divided streets, the transverse slope shall be as required by the city engineer. (F) Lime Stabilization. Refer to NCTCOG Standard Specifications, division 4, item 4.6. (c) Sidewalks. Refer to NCTCOG Standard Specifications, division 8, item 8.3. (1) Concrete sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of streets and thoroughfares, except in industrial areas and along residential/estate streets, by the subdivider. The sidewalks shall have a width of not less than four feet (4') and thickness of not less than four inches (4") and shall be constructed of three thousand (3,000) p.s.i. concrete on both sides of all streets within the subdivision and of a width not less than eight feet (8') on all major thoroughfares. Sidewalks shall be constructed one foot (1') from the property line within the street or thoroughfare right-of-way and shall extend along the street frontage including the side of corner lots and block ends. Alternate sidewalk designs may be considered and shall be approved on a case-by-case basis by the city.

(6) Longitudinal slope of sidewalks shall be that of the curb adjacent to the sidewalk. The longitudinal slope of the sidewalk shall be one-fourth inch (1/4") per foot starting at the back of the curb. The maximum ground slope from the back of the curb to the property line shall not exceed six percent (6%). If it does exceed six percent (6%), a retaining wall, that is acceptable to the city, shall be provided on the property line or the private property graded to a 3:1 maximum slope. (d) Drainage and Storm Sewer Improvements. (1) General. Drainage facilities shall be provided and constructed by the developer in accordance with all city standards and the following basic requirements. If development utilizes residential/estate street section and is located within the ETJ of the City of Sanger at the time improvements are constructed, the developer’s engineer shall follow the current Denton County Subdivision Rules and Regulations as outlined in section VIII - chapter IV titled “drainage-design.” (2) Runoff Calculations. (A) The selection of which method to use for calculating runoff depends upon the size of the contributing drainage area at the most downstream point of the project. The “rational method” is acceptable for designing projects in which the drainage area is less than two hundred (200) acres. A unit hydrograph method is required for projects with larger drainage areas. (B) No matter which method is used to calculate runoff, a developer or builder of property greater than one (1) acre in size, or any property that was platted as a part of an overall tract which was greater than one (1) acre in size (including churches and schools), shall develop the property so that the rate of runoff created by the development as it leaves the property does not exceed the rate of runoff that would have been created if the property had developed as a single-family residential property. (C) Runoff computations shall be based upon fully developed watershed conditions in accordance with the land use projections in the latest master plan. The design engineer shall size drainage facilities by disregarding the detention effects of upstream property and calculating the runoff as if the off-site property was developed without any detention. If an approved regional detention/retention facility is in operation, the design engineer may size downstream drainage facilities based on consideration of the detention effects of the regional facility. (D) Procedure for drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres: (i) Computation of stormwater runoff for drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres shall be by the “rational method,” which is based on the principle that the maximum rate of runoff from a given drainage area for an assumed rainfall intensity occurs when all parts of the area are contributing to the Page 195 flow at the point of discharge. The formula for calculation of runoff by the “rational method” is: Q = CIA Where: Q = the maximum rate of discharge, expressed in cubic feet per second. C = Coefficient of runoff. Park areas - No developed land 0.30 Developed Park sites 0.40 Single-Family Residential 0.55 Duplex 0.60 Multiple Family 0.70 Schools 0.70 Churches 0.70 Neighborhood Commercial 0.70 Office Commercial 0.70 Commercial 0.85 Industrial 0.85 I = Intensity of Runoff in inches per hour (use appendix A - IDF curve). A = Drainage area in acres. (ii) Time of concentration is the longest time, without interruption of flow by detention devices that a drop of water takes to flow from the farthest point of the drainage area to the point of concentration (i.e. the point of design). The time of concentration is composed of the inlet time and the flow time in a conduit or channel to the point of design. (iii) When designing inlets and laterals, the time of concentration is equal to the inlet time. The design engineer will compare the above specified inlet times to the actual calculated inlet time by computing the flow time overland and along the gutter to the first inlet. Manning’s equation shall be used to determine flow time to the inlet. The design engineer may use the actual calculated or specified inlet time. a. The inlet time shall be ten (10) minutes for property zoned multiple family, churches, schools, local business, central business, commercial, or industrial. b. An inlet time of fifteen (15) minutes shall be used for property zoned for parks, cemeteries, agricultural, and single-family residential. (E) Procedures for drainage areas greater than two hundred (200) acres: (i) For drainage areas in excess of two hundred (200) acres where the use of the “rational method” does not provide reliable results, the use of a unit hydrograph method shall be made. The use of a unit hydrograph calculation will be based upon standard and accepted engineering principles subject to the approval of the city engineer. Acceptable methods include the soil conservation service (SCS) technical release number 55 or the Corps of Engineers HEC-1 models for drainage areas 200 acres or more. (ii) The unit hydrograph method shall be based upon fully developed watershed conditions assuming no effects from the small on-site detention facilities for maintaining the rate of runoff as if the property was developed as single-family residential use. The detention effects of large regional detention Page 196 facilities can be considered in unit hydrograph methods. (iii) Circumstances that may require the use of a unit hydrograph method include sizing open channels, reclaiming floodplains, creating lakes, or building other types of drainage-related facilities on major drainage courses. Design engineers of these types of facilities should be aware that the requirement of designing for fully developed watershed conditions will mean that they will have to calculate these fully developed flows instead of using the flows calculated in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) flood insurance studies for Sanger or Denton County. (3) Design Storm Frequencies. The approved drainage system shall provide for positive overflow at all low points. The term “positive overflow” means that when the inlets do not function properly or when the design capacity of the conduit is exceeded, the excess flow can be conveyed overland along a grassed or paved course. Normally, this would mean along a street or alley, or shall require the dedications of special drainage easements on private property. Drainage Facility Design Recurrenceinterval Closed Storm Sewer Systems 10-year with 100-year positive overflow in streets such that the depth of flow in the street does not exceed the top of curb. Closed Storm Sewer Systems and Inlets at Street Low Point or Sag 100-year with positive overflow Culverts and Bridges 100-year Concrete-lined Channels 100-year Earthen Channels 100-year (4) Street and Alley Capacity. (A) The depth of flow in the streets shall not exceed the top of curb for the 100-year storm. (B) The flows created by the 100-year storm shall be contained within the capacity of all paved alleys. (C) The first-floor elevations of all residential and other structures shall be set at a minimum elevation of one foot above the top of the street curb elevation or the alley invert, and with positive drainage provided away from the structure. Positive overflow sections shall provide a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard from the overflow invert adjacent to structures and the corresponding first floor elevation of all residential and other structures. (5) Inlet Placement and Capacity. (A) Storm sewer inlets shall be built along paved streets at such intervals that the depth of flow, based upon the 100-year storm, does not exceed the top of curb. Inlets shall be located as necessary to remove the flow based on a 100-year storm. If in the opinion of the city engineer the flow in the gutters would be excessive using the above design criteria, the storm sewers or inlet locations could be altered to relieve adverse conditions. (B) Inlets shall be placed upstream from an intersection whenever possible. At any intersection, only one street shall be crossed with surface drainage and this street shall be the lower classified street. When an alley intersects a street, inlets shall be placed in the alley whenever flow down that alley would cause the capacity of the intersecting street to be exceeded. (C) The minimum inlet size shall be five (5) feet. No more than twenty (20) feet of inlet shall be placed along one gutter at any given location. Minimum sizes of laterals shall be 18 inches for use with 5-foot inlets, 21-inch laterals with 10-foot, 15 foot, and drop inlets and 24-inch laterals for 20-foot inlets. Where laterals tie into trunk lines, place the laterals on a 60-degree angle with the trunk line and connect them so that the longitudinal centers intersect. (6) Pipe Design Standards. (A) Storm sewer conduit shall be sized to flow full. Manning’s equation shall be used to determine the Page 197 conduit size. (B) Minimum and maximum velocities in pipes: (i) The minimum velocities in conduit shall be 2.5 feet per second. (ii) Maximum velocity in the pipe shall not exceed 12 feet per second. (iii) The maximum discharge velocities in the pipe shall also not exceed the permitted velocity of the receiving channel or conduit at the outfall to prevent erosive conditions. The maximum outfall velocity of a conduit in partial flow shall be computed for partial depth and shall not exceed the maximum permissible velocity of the receiving channel unless controlled by an appropriate energy dissipater (e.g. stilling basins, impact basins, riprap protection). (C) In general, stormwater shall be carried in concrete pipe conduit, but other types of conduit can be used to carry stormwater. However, prior permission to use other conduit materials must be obtained from the city engineer. (D) Hydraulic gradient: (i) Conduits must be sized, and slopes must be set such that runoff flows smoothly down the drainage system. To insure this smooth passage, the hydraulic gradient must be at the proper elevations. The hydraulic grade line shall be established and shown on the plans for all storm sewer design. (ii) The hydraulic grade line shall in no case be closer to the surface of the ground or street than one (1) foot. (iii) Hydraulic gradient calculations shall account for all head losses that may occur in the storm sewer line. Friction head loss shall be determined by direct application of Manning’s Equation. Minor losses due to turbulence at structures shall be determined using appendix B of this section. (7) Culvert Design. (A) One (1) foot of freeboard is required between the 100-year water surface elevation and the top of curb elevation. Exceptions must be approved in writing by the city engineer. (B) Culverts must be designed using standard methods and engineering judgment. Culverts shall be designed in accordance with the latest edition of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Hydraulic Design Manual. Standards of the City of Sanger will take precedence over TxDOT Manual in cases of conflict. (C) Culvert hydraulic grade line calculations shall consider both inlet and outlet control. (D) Culverts shall be skewed such that impacts due to the flood and normal flow angles of attack on the structure are minimized. (E) The maximum velocity through a culvert shall be fifteen (15) feet per second. (F) Stream stability shall be assessed when determining the number of barrels, height and width and culvert skew. Potential for scour shall be accounted for in the design. (8) Bridges. (A) Two (2) feet of freeboard is required between the 100-year water surface elevation and the low chord of the bridge. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the city engineer in writing. (B) The skew of the bridge piers and abutments shall be oriented as close to the normal or flood direction of flow resulting in an angle of attack as close to 0 degrees as possible. (C) Bridges shall be designed using standard methods. (D) Stream stability shall be assessed when designing the abutments and interior bents of the bridge. Scour shall be accounted for in the design. (9) Channels. (A) Open channels are discouraged in urban areas. Open channels may be used instead of an enclosed system when the pipe size, necessary to carry the design storm event, exceeds the capacity of 2 60-inch RCP. Open channels shall not be permitted when 2 60-inch RCP pipes will carry the design flow, unless approved by the city engineer. (B) Open channel design criteria: Page 198 (i) Channels may be left in their natural state provided that the channel velocities are 6.0 feet per second or less and that one (1) foot of freeboard is available during the design storm event. (ii) If the natural channel is to be replaced by an improved channel, the flow from the 100-year design flood must be contained within the improved channel while allowing for one (1) foot of freeboard. (iii) Improved channels shall be trapezoidal shaped and include a lined section if the design velocity is greater than six (6) feet per second. Lining types such as concrete, rock walls and gabions may be used upon approval of the city engineer. The maximum velocity allowed in concrete lined channels is fifteen (15) feet per second. (iv) Unless shown to be feasible in a soils report sealed by a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas and approved by the city engineer, improved channels shall have minimum side slopes of: a. Four (4) feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical for earthen, grassed-lined side slopes. b. 1.5 feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical for concrete-lined side slopes in rock. (v) Where practicable, all unpaved channels should have enough grade to avoid ponding during backwater flow conditions. A minimum slope of 0.50% is required for earthen channels and swales, except those used as part of a wetlands area. (vi) The developer or owner shall use low maintenance vegetation for vegetative cover, as approved by the city engineer prior to planting. The selection of materials shall comply with either the current ground cover listing for North Central Texas furnished through the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. (C) Manning’s equation can be used to design channels and determine water surface elevations and velocities when backwater effects are negligible. Channels where backwater effects occur must be designed using models accepted by FEMA. (D) All channel sections must consider and account for channel stabilization in their design. This requirement pertains to all sections whether they are left in their natural condition or are modified in any manner. The design of all drainage channels and swales shall assure adequate capacity and minimum maintenance to overcome the result of erosion, silting, sloughing of bends or similar occurrences. (E) When performing hydraulic analyses for channel or drainageway design, the starting water surface shall be based on the following criteria: (i) When the ratio of the drainage area of the receiving creek (at the confluence location) to the drainage area of the channel or drainageway being designed is 15 or greater, the 10-year water surface of the receiving creek shall be used as the starting water surface for hydraulic design calculations. For creeks where the 10-year water surface is not available, the slope-area method will be used for starting design calculations. (ii) When the ratio of the drainage area is less than 15, the 100-year elevation on the receiving creek shall be used as the starting water surface for design calculations. (10) Detention Design. Detention/retention facilities shall be designed for the 100-year design flood according to the following criteria: (A) Dedicated detention/retention basins shall also include an additional one (1) foot of freeboard and two (2) feet of sediment storage. The volume of runoff storage for drainage areas greater than two hundred (200) acres shall be computed using unit hydrograph procedures. Acceptable unit hydrograph procedures are provided in section XI.B.5 [section 10.106] of this document [article]. For drainage areas less than two hundred (200) acres, the above methods are recommended; however, an approximate routing method based on the rational formula is allowable. (B) All detention facilities designed shall consider the timing of the flood peak in the main channel into which the detention facility drains. Delaying the peak from a site in lower portions of a watershed may result in a higher peak on the main channel. (C) A detention facility shall have enough gradient to ensure positive drainage to the outlet structures to avoid nuisance conditions such as standing water, odors, insects, and weeds. A minimum slope of 0.50% towards the outlet structure is required for all detention facilities. (D) Detention areas in parking lots shall not be: Page 199 (i) In required parking spaces but in extra spaces. (ii) Behind speed bumps unless the speed bumps are made with reinforced concrete. (iii) Deeper than six (6) inches unless otherwise approved by the city engineer and warning signs shall be posted. (E) Drainage easements shall be provided for all regional detention/retention facilities and for other detention/retention facilities where two (2) or more owners are involved. (F) Detention facilities shall be designed to empty in less than 24 hours, unless it is also serving as an erosion control facility. (G) Detention facilities used as a sediment control device shall meet the following requirements: (i) The sediment control facility shall be designed with minimal velocities such that sediment is dropped and not picked up by flows at any time during the storm event; (ii) The basin shall be designed with adequate sediment storage area so that sediment removal is not required more than twice a year. Expected removal periods greater than twice a year must be specified in the maintenance plan and approved by the city engineer; and, (iii) Sediment control facilities cannot be used to meet detention requirements unless the volume of sediment is included in the calculations for the detention basin design; (H) The owner shall maintain detention/retention facilities unless the facilities are dedicated to the City of Sanger. The following measures are required to ensure the facility functions properly: (i) Facilities should be mowed at least twice a year to control weeds and discourage woody growth; (ii) Debris, litter and accumulated sediment should be removed from detention facilities at least twice a year. Particular attention should be given to removal of debris, litter and sediment around outlet structures; and, (iii) Detention basins designed for sediment removal shall be maintained as specified in the maintenance plan and approved by the city with construction plan submittal. (11) Flumes. The widespread use of flumes is not recommended. Flumes shall not be permitted when the purpose of a permanent flume is to carry runoff down the sides of earthen channels. A flume may be used to direct overflow runoff along property lines until the runoff can be intercepted by streets or conduits. Flumes crossing sidewalks shall be covered or bridged such as to minimize Residential danger to pedestrians. (12) Grading and Drainage. (A) Surface runoff from residential lots shall cross no more than one additional lot before being directed toward the street or a dedicated drainage system. When the flow reaches the second lot, side lot swales shall be in place to direct the flows to the street or to a dedicated city drainage system within an easement in the rear yard. Furthermore, no more than one lot may drain to a second lot before the flow is directed to a street or to a dedicated city drainage system. Where lot to lot drainage occurs, the lot lines shall be aligned, and a dedicated private drainage easement shall be provided. (B) Three general categories of residential lot grading and drainage plans are anticipated within the City of Sanger as shown in Figure No. 1. Specific deviations from these three plans will be considered on an individual basis. (C) When adjacent to the floodplain, the finished floor (FF) elevation of commercial buildings shall be two foot [feet] (2') above the 100-year fully developed based flood elevation (BFE) of the ultimate floodplain. The FF elevation of residential buildings shall be two feet (2') above the 100-year fully developed based flood elevation (BFE). Appendix A. Intensity - Duration - Frequency Curve Appendix B.

It is within Denton County and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Sanger. The proposed development will create 47 lots with a minimum size of 1 acre. It is desired to construct the development in generally in accordance with the City of Sangers regulations for estate developments. However, estate developments require a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres. Therefore, a number of variances are necessary. In particular we are presenting a request to construct a residential/estate street section. Variance Requests: Below is a list of references in the Subdivision Ordinance where the requirements for residential/estate streets are discussed: • 10.105 General Plat Requirements, (1) Streets, (I) (iv) Residential Estate o Requires a minimum of 1 ½ acres compared to the county requirement of 1 acre. Attachment A is a set of excerpts from the Subdivision Ordinance regarding the requirements for residential/estate streets. Hopefully these will help establish the framework for our request. Discussion: Page 210 Page 2 of 3 In regards to Section 10.105 please consider: The proposed development is on the far reaches of the ETJ. It will be many years before the urban additions currently within the city limits expand to adjoin the rural developments within the ETJ and beyond. Residential/Estate type developments within the city limits and on its fringes should reasonably be required to adhere to the Residential/Estate type developments. Residential/Estate streets provide for the elimination of curb and gutter, sidewalks and storm sewer systems. Borrow ditches are commonly constructed to provide for drainage along with driveway culverts. The minimum street widths for the City of Sanger are 31 feet, face to face of curb for residential streets in a 50 foot right-of-way with sidewalks, storm sewers and city utilities in the right-of-way and franchise utilities in utility easements adjacent to the right-of-way. The minimums for a residential street are 28 feet from edge to edge in a 60 foot right-of-way without curb and gutter, without sidewalks and without storm sewers. City utilities are within the right-of-way and franchise utilities in utility easements adjacent to the right-of way. The minimums for Denton County are no minimum for the street width in a 60 foot right -of-way without curb and gutter, without sidewalks and without storm sewers. Drainage is accommodated by borrow ditches and culverts. All utilities are in utility easements adjacent to the right-of-way except for roadway crossings perpendicular to the roadway. We typically provide a minimum pavement width of 24 feet edge to edge for residential development in Denton County. The proposed development will connect to county roads that are expected to remain in the county for years to come. They will be maintained by Denton County. It is a common understanding that county developments are rural. The county minimum is one acre. It seems appropriate that the residential/estate section is applicable in the ETJ. The City of Sanger’s residential/estate street section is much more in line with the Denton County road section than the City’s residential street section. It seems appropriate that the city’s regulations for a rural type street, particularly in the ETJ, should align more with the county’s requirements for streets except perhaps in those areas where annexation is imminent. Conclusions: It is our humble opinion that the City of Sanger’s residential/estate street section more closely aligns with the Denton County requirements and should be allowed for this development. Contacts: Page 211 Page 3 of 3 Lee Allison, P.E., applicant or Randall Smith, owner may be contacted regarding additional information needed to consider this request. We are confident that the City of Sanger will give reasonable and responsible consideration of this request. We eagerly look forward to working with the City to help shape the future of Sanger.

Page 214 Sec. 10.105 General Plat Requirements All requirements pertaining to lot size, yard size, dwelling size, lot coverage, height, parking, loading and screening contained in the current zoning ordinance of the city shall be adhered to for development under this article. (1) Streets. (A) The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all proposed streets shall conform to the general plan of the community, and their relationship shall be considered to that of the existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. (B) The reservation in private ownership of strips of land, at the end of offered or existing streets intended solely or primarily for the purpose of controlling access to property not included in the subdivision shall be prohibited. (C) Where such is not shown in the general plan for the community, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall: (i) Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing principal streets in surrounding areas; (ii) Conform to a plan for the neighborhood approved or adopted by the city to meet a situation where topographical or other conditions make continuation of or conformance to an existing street impracticable; and (iii) Be planned so that they shall intersect, as nearly as possible, at right angles. (D) Residential streets shall be aligned so that their use by through traffic is discouraged. (E) In phased developments, streets which are continuous through more than a single phase shall be provided with temporary turnarounds (at the point of temporary termination) until the street is fully constructed per the original approved plan. (F) Developers shall be required to coordinate all planning and engineering work with all adjacent property owners/developers. (G) Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet (125') shall be avoided. (H) The street minimum right-of-way widths and centerline radius shall be in accordance with the city’s thoroughfare plan and shall conform to the following: Code Type of Street Minimum Right- of-Way Width Minimum Centerline Radii Intersection FW Freeway 200 feet Varies varies P4U Principal arterial four lane undivided 100 feet 150' 1,000 feet P3U Principal arterial three lane undivided 75 feet 85' 1,000 feet M4U Minor arterial four lane undivided 80 feet 90' 1,000 feet C2U Collector two lane undivided 60 feet 75' 500 feet R2U Residential/local two lane undivided 50 feet 70' 250 feet REU Residential/estate two lane undivided 60 feet 75' 250 feet (I) Streets shall be classified according to the following: Page 215 (i) Arterial (Principal, Minor): The main function of arterial is to carry traffic from one urban area to another. The thoroughfare system serves the major activity centers of urbanized areas. An arterial is used for longer urban trips and carries a high portion of the total traffic with a minimum of mileage. (ii) Collector: Carries traffic from local streets to arterial. Also, may serve local facilities such as schools and churches. Uses served would include medium and high density residential, limited commercial facilities, elementary schools, some small offices and as direct access within industrial parks. Collector streets also carry heavy traffic to major commercial and industrial facilities from thoroughfare. Uses would include office parks, industrial parks, and community level commercial facilities. (iii) Residential/Local: Carries traffic from residential and commercial areas to collector streets and interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration. (iv) Residential/Estate: Carries traffic from rural residential areas to collector streets and interconnects individual sites. Local streets carry light traffic volumes and trips are of a short duration. This type of street section can only be utilized in residential subdivisions of lots at least 1-1/2 acres in size. (J) Street widths proposed for industrial subdivisions or commercial developments shall be not less than that required for a collector. (K) Half streets shall be prohibited, except where there is no alternative for reasonable development of the subdivision in conformance with the other requirements of these regulations and where the city finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property is subdivided. Wherever a half street has already been provided adjacent to an area to be subdivided, the other remaining portion of the street shall be platted within such subdivision. Where part of a residential or collector street is being dedicated along a common property line, the first dedication shall be one-half (1/2) of the proposed street right-of-way plus five feet (5') unless a construction easement on the adjoining parcel has been obtained, and the developer shall construct the half street or place in escrow cash for the estimated half-paving cost as determined by the city council. (L) Cul-de-sacs in residential additions shall not be longer than six hundred feet (600') from the nearest intersection, except under unusual conditions with the approval of the city council, and there shall be provided at the closed-end a turnaround having a minimum outside roadway diameter of eighty- one feet (81'). In industrial areas, cul-de-sacs shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000') from the nearest intersecting street, and there shall be provided at the closed-end a turnaround having a minimum outside roadway diameter of one hundred feet (100') and a minimum street property line diameter of one hundred feet (100'). Alternate turnaround designs in residential tract developments which provide adequate turnaround area may be considered or approved by the city. (M) All streets shall be paved, and paving shall conform to the requirements of section 10.106, improvements, of these regulations. (N) Street grades shall be established regarding topography, proposed land-use and the facilities in the area surrounding the land to be subdivided. Minimum grades shall be five-tenths percent (0.50%) on concrete streets and five-tenths percent (0.50%) on all other types of street paving. Cross (transverse) slopes between pavement and the right-of-way shall not be less than 100:1 or steeper than 3:1. Where necessary, additional right-of-way or slope easement shall be provided to meet this requirement. (O) Street name markers shall be installed in accordance with the prescribed type currently in use by the city or an approved equal, as approved by the city manager. Street markers and erections will be at the expense of the subdivider. (P) The materials for all traffic-control and regulatory signs shall be furnished by the subdivider and installed by the city for all intersections within or abutting the subdivision. Such signs shall be in strict compliance with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration and according to the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic-Control Devices, latest edition. No signs will be placed in undeveloped portions of the subdivision. (Q) The subdivider shall comply with the guidelines and criteria for driveways, including the design requirements, grades, spacing, and access standards as provided by the city’s thoroughfare plan. (R) If a proposed development is projected to generate a lesser traffic volume than would normally require roadways as specified in the master thoroughfare plan, the developer may install a “minimum acceptable alternative” approved by the city. The full right-of-way and pavement thickness are Page 216 unchanged. Only the outside two (2) lanes would be paved in this situation. The city must approve the use of this option. (2) Alleys. (A) Alleys are not required, except where the city has determined that one is necessary for adequate service access, such as off-street loading, unloading and parking consistent with and adequate for the uses proposed. (B) All alleys shall be paved with reinforced concrete, and the paving shall conform to section 10.106, improvements, of these regulations. (C) All alleys must be privately maintained by the homeowners’ association or other entity. (D) The minimum width of any alley shall be twenty feet (20') in industrial and commercial areas and fifteen feet (15’) in residential areas. (E) Alley intersections, sudden changes in alignment, and dead-end alleys shall be avoided. (F) Residential driveway and alley pavement cuts must be approved by the city engineer onto loop and major thoroughfares. Alleys on frontage roads shall be provided along side and rear lot lines which front on loop and major thoroughfares for rear entrance. (3) Gated Community/Private Streets. (A) Private streets in gated communities shall conform to the same standards regulating the design and construction of public streets. A gated community will only be permitted in a planned development (PD) zoning district. (B) Any gate installation must conform to the following provisions: (i) All gate installations must be approved by the city prior to installation. The installation must be completed and tested prior to the city’s acceptance of the subdivision. (ii) Gate design may incorporate one or two gate sections to meet the required minimum gate width of twenty-four feet (2'). If the entrance will incorporate a median, guard shack or similar structure that necessitates a divided gate arrangement, the gate widths may be reduced if approved by the city, but in no case shall any single gate or street pavement have a clear opening of less than twenty (20) feet. (iii) Approach and departure areas on both sides of a gated entrance must provide adequate setbacks and proper alignment to allow free and unimpeded passage of emergency vehicles through the entrance area. All entry gates must be setback a minimum of 100 ft from any adjacent public street right-of-way to allow for vehicle stacking out of the public travel lanes. Any exception must be approved by the city. (iv) Automatic gate installations must conform to the design and performance guidelines established by the fire chief and directors of transportation and public works. (v) All components of the gate system must be maintained in an approved operating condition, with all components serviced and maintained on a regular basis as needed to insure proper gate operation. A proper power supply shall be maintained to all electrical and electronic components at all times. (vi) Each security gate regulated under this section will be subject to a performance test as determined by either the fire chief or public works or a designated city official. Upon failure of a performance test, the security gate system shall be disabled and maintained in the open position until repaired and shall not be placed back in service until tested and authorized by the city. (vii) All streets, gates and other fire protection features, signage, and equipment are subject to periodic inspection by the city and must be repaired immediately if found to be in condition of disrepair. The city shall have the right to enter the subdivision and disable, open, or remove any gate, device, or other feature that impedes or controls vehicle access at the sole expense of the homeowner’s association. Emergency repairs shall be assessed against the homeowner’s association. (viii) The person or corporation in control of the property is responsible for, and liable for any violations of this section. This includes, but is not limited to, the developer, property owner, the homeowner’s association and its officers, if applicable, or other who may own or exercise control over the property. (C) Property Associations Required. Subdivisions developed with private streets or alleys must have a Page 217 mandatory property owners association which includes all property served by private streets or alleys. The association shall own and be responsible for the maintenance of private streets, parks and other homeowner association appurtenances. The association documents shall be reviewed by the city attorney and subject to approval by the city to ensure that they conform to this and other applicable city ordinances and concerns. The documents shall be filed of record prior to the approval of the final plat. Lot deeds may not be dissolved without the prior written consent of the city. No portion of the association documents pertaining to the maintenance of the private streets and alleys and assessments therefore [therefor] may be amended without the written consent of the city. (D) Private Street Lot. Private streets and alleys must be constructed within a separate lot owned by the property owners’ association. This lot must conform to the city’s standards for public street and alley right-of-way. An easement covering the street lot shall be granted to the city providing unrestricted use of the property for utilities and storm drainage systems and the maintenance of same. This right shall extend to all utility providers including telecable companies, operating within the city. The easement shall also provide the city or its contractors with the right of access for any purpose related to the exercise of a governmental service or function, including but not limited to fire and police protection, inspection and code enforcement, trash collection or utility maintenance. The easement shall permit the city to remove any vehicle or obstacle within the street lot that impairs emergency access. (E) Construction and Maintenance Cost. The city shall not pay for any portion of the cost of construction or maintaining a private street. The homeowners’ association shall maintain an escrow account as approved by the city for all road maintenance. (F) Reserved. (G) City Utilities. Water, sewer and drainage facilities placed within the private street and alley lot shall be installed to city standards and dedicated to the city as part of the approval of the final plat. All city regulations relating to infrastructure, financing, developer cost participation and capital cost recovery shall apply to developments with private streets except for those applying to internal street construction. (i) Street lights and signs shall be installed and maintained by the homeowners’ association subject to approval by the city. (ii) The property association documents shall give the city the right, after giving written notice to perform maintenance upon streets and alleys to protect health, safety and welfare of the residents and to place a lien upon the lots within the association to recover the cost of such maintenance. (H) Plans and Inspections. Developments proposed with private streets must submit to the city the same plans and engineering information required to construct public streets and utilities. Requirements pertaining to inspection and approval of improvements prior to issuance of building permits shall apply. Inspection fees charged for these services shall also apply. The city may periodically inspect private streets and require repairs necessary to ensure emergency access. (I) Waiver of Services. The subdivision final plat, property deeds and property owners’ association documents shall note that certain city services shall not be provided on private streets. Among the services which will not be provided are: routine police patrols, street lighting, enforcement of traffic and parking ordinances and preparation of accident reports. All private traffic regulatory signs shall conform to the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic-Control Devices. Depending on the characteristics of the proposed development other services may not be provided. (J) Petition to Convert to Public Streets. The property association documents shall allow the association to request [that] the city accept private streets and alleys and the associated property as public streets and right-of-way upon written notice to all association members and the favorable vote of 75% of the membership. However, in no event shall the city be obligated to accept said streets and alleys as public. Should the city elect to accept the streets and alleys as public, the city may inspect the private streets and assess the lot owners for the expense of needed repairs concurrent with the city’s acceptance of the street and alleys. The city will be the sole judge of whether repairs are needed. The city may also require, at the association’s expense, the removal of guard houses, access control devices, landscaping or other aesthetic amenities located within the street lot. The association document shall provide for the city’s right to such assessment. Those portions of the association documents pertaining to the subject matter contained in this paragraph shall not be amended without the written consent of the city. Page 218 (K) Hold Harmless. On the subdivision final plat shall be language whereby the property owners association, as owner of the private streets and appurtenances, agrees to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the city, any governmental entity and public utility for damages to the private street occasioned by the reasonable use of the private street by the city, governmental entity or public utility, for damages and injury (including death) arising from the condition of said private street; for damages and injury (including death) arising out of the use by the city, governmental entity or public utility of any restricted access gate or entrance; and for damages and injury (including death) arising out of any use of the subdivision by the city, governmental entity or public entity. Further, such language shall provide that all the owners of all lots shall release the city, governmental entities and public utilities for such damages and injuries. The indemnifications contained in this paragraph apply regardless of whether such damages and injury (including death) are caused by the negligent act or omission of the city, governmental entity or public utility, or their representative officers, employees or agents. (L) Sidewalks and Bikeways. (i) Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with city standards for all lots adjoining dedicated streets, along major thoroughfares where lots do not adjoin the street or in other areas as required by the city. Sidewalk construction may be delayed until development of lots, but in locations not adjacent to lots and across bridges and culverts, the sidewalk shall be constructed with the other improvements to the subdivision or addition. Exceptions to this section must be approved by the city. (ii) Pedestrian Accesses. The city may require, in order to facilitate Pedestrian access from the streets to schools, parks, playgrounds, or other nearby streets, perpetual unobstructed easements at least fifteen (15) feet in width. Easements will be indicated on the plat. (iii) Bikeways. Hike and bike sidewalks, designed and located according to city standards, shall be constructed along streets designated for hike and bike trails. Such sidewalks shall be built by the owner at the time of site development. (M) Drainage and Storm Sewers. (i) General Requirements. All plats shall conform to the city’s standards for drainage facilities. (ii) Design of Facilities. Design of storm sewer systems shall be in accordance with city standards. Materials and construction shall conform to the standard specifications. (N) Secondary Access.

(O) Federal Requirements. The post office requires 7-day access for mail delivery. If a security gate or fencing is used, a key keeper box with retractable key reel that will accommodate a post office arrow lock and/or the device (mechanical/electronic) needed to gain access into complex, must be installed next to the door or gate that the carrier uses to enter the complex. (Systems that use a key board to punch in codes, in most cases, will accept a post office arrow lock in the control panel). Note: Carriers must not carry keys, written codes, electronic openers or badges for entrance into buildings or complex. (4) Lots. (A) Lot Size: The size or area of the lot shall be measured in square feet and shall conform to the zoning requirements for the area. (B) Corner Lots: Corner lots with a width of less than seventy-five feet (75') are to be at least five feet (5') wider than the average of interior lots in the block. Corner lots with a width of less than eighty-five feet (85') adjacent to a thoroughfare are to be at least fifteen feet (15') wider than the average of interior lots in the block. (C) Lot Shape: Lots should be rectangular where practicable. Sharp angles between lot lines should be avoided. The ratio of depth to width should not ordinarily exceed two and one-half to one (2-1/2:1). (D) Lot Facing: (i) Each lot shall be provided with adequate access to an existing or proposed street by frontage on such street. Residential lots shall front on residential class streets; (ii) Double frontage lots are prohibited except where the lot has rear frontage on thoroughfares; and Page 219 (iii) Wherever feasible, each lot should face the front of a similar lot across the street. In general, an arrangement placing facing lots at right angles to each other should be avoided. (E) Lot Lines: Radial to street frontage, and the following note may be used on the plat in lieu of bearings: “All side lot lines are perpendicular or radial to street frontage unless otherwise noted.” (F) Lot Numbering: All lots are to be numbered consecutively within each block. Lot numbering may be cumulative throughout the subdivision if the numbering continues from block to block in a uniform manner that has been approved on an overall preliminary plat. (G) Lot Grading: Finished grade for the building site will be not less than six inches (6") above the top of the curb grade or alley pavement or two feet (2') above the adjacent base flood elevation as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, whichever is greater. In any case, the property line grades adjacent to the street should not be below the top of curb grade. (H) Exceptions: Plats involving cluster developments or zero-lot lines shall be reviewed by the city on a case-by-case basis. (5) Easements. (A) Use: Where necessary to provide access for the purposes of maintenance, construction or other service, easements shall be provided for poles, wires, conduits, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, water lines, open drainage, floodplains, gas lines or other utilities. Such easements may be required across parts of lots, including rear and side lot lines, where alleys are not provided. (B) Size: Where possible, easements shall be provided fully located upon one (1) lot and shall be not less than fifteen feet (15') in width. Where such is not feasible, easements shall be not less than seven and one-half feet (7-1/2') on each side of the lot line. Where overhead utility service on poles is allowed, an additional easement of five feet (5') on each side shall be provided. The full width of easements shall not be less than twenty-five feet (25'). Where a subdivision is bounded by a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially to the lines of such watercourse, or of such width to provide for any future anticipated construction, plus a minimum to ten feet (10') on each side. (C) Where Required by the City, Emergency Access Easements shall have: (i) a clear, unobstructed width of twenty-four feet (24'); (ii) an all-weather surface constructed and maintained by the owner; (iii) a connection at each end to a dedicated public street or have a turnaround of suitable size at the dead- end; and (iv) appropriate turning space at inside corners to permit free movement of fire trucks. An emergency access easement may be used as a driveway to gain access to parking or loading spaces but shall not be used for parking. The limits of the easement shall be marked by the city, and the marking shall be maintained by the city. (6) Blocks.
