3rd Review
Dear Mr. Smith:
J
Per your request I have completed a third review of a Preliminary Plat, Preliminary Utility
Layout, and Preliminary Drainage Study as prepared and submitted by Crannel, Crannel &
Martin Engineering for the project referenced above. My review comments are as follows:
General
1. It is my understanding that the original zoning classification for this property before the
current zoning ordinance was adopted was SF-3 or 6,000 square foot lots and that after
the new ordinance was adopted this property retained a 6,000 square foot lot zoning
designation which equates to the current zoning classification of SF4 with a minimum
lot area of 6,000 square feet. Consequently the lot sizes shown in this plat are in
conformance with the ordinance.
2. In order to facilitate maintenance and repair of water and sewer lines and potentially
reduce inconvenience to property owners in the future, I would suggest that a 60 foot
right-of-way be dedicated to the City with a 31' back of curb to back of curb street and 4
foot wide sidewalks located'/Z foot off of the R-O-W lines. This will allow a 10' wide
area on each side of the road to place water and sewer lines in. In order compensate the
developer, if the Council wishes to do so, the 25 foot building set back line could be
reduced to 20'. This is not a requirement, only a suggestion for future consideration.
3. In accordance with the current City's Park Ordinance a total of 7.03 acres is shown to be
dedicated to the City.
Preliminary Plat
1. A variance is being requested to allow a 5' side yard setback instead of the required 8'
wide setback. I would recommend against issuance of variance to an already confined
nature type of the subdivision.

Preliminary Utility Layout
1. Before approval of the preliminary plat by Town Council, I would recommend that an
evaluation of the capacity of lift station, forcemain and existing downstream sewer be
evaluated relative to the potential impacts this project will have and to insure capacity to
service this subdivision. I see no problem sending the plat to planning and zoning for
their review but prior to placing this plat on the Town Council agenda, I would require
that the impact study be completed per Eddy's and my satisfaction.
Preliminary Drainage Study
1. Should a detention basin be approved I would recommend that developer provide an
extended maintenance bond for the basin to insure that the grass has reestablished itself
and basin side slopes have been stabilized.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please call me at (940) 391-4845.

General.
1. The City shall determine the zoning.
2. We will not request a variance from the city ordinance requiring a 50' Right -Of -
Way.
3. We have amended the plat to incorporate a park.
Preliminary Plat:
1. A 20' ingress/egress and utility easement has been added to Block A
2. The street name Canvasback Drive has been changed to Primrose Dr.
3. A 5' electrical easement has been placed at the front of the lots within the 25'
easement.
4. We respectfully request a variance to allow for 5' side yards instead of 8' side
yards.
Preliminary Utility Layout:
1. Sizes and grades of existing water and sewer facilities have been shown.
2. A detailed study for the lift station, forcemain and existing gravity lines will be
performed to determine the required improvements to support this development.
The Developer shall be responsible for the cost of the recommended
improvements. We request that this detailed study be provided to the city prior to
Final Plat Approval.
3. The 8" water line in Cowling Rd. has been extended to connect the 8" lines in
Quail Crossing and Deer Run Drives.
4. A note has been added to the plat stating the easement to the water tank site shall
be provided by the property owner until the permanent roads are completed.
Preliminary Drainage Study:
1. We will follow all drainage design requirements of the Town of Sanger.
2. The areas of concentration have been added to the table since they have been
added to the map per the first comment letter. We will update our offsite per City
Sanger Aerial Topographic Maps prior to final design.
3. The pond with horizontal & vertical dimensions has been added to the plan. In
addition, a note recommending that the developer provide an additional bond for
the growth of grass has been added.

2' Review
Dear Mr. Smith:
Per your request I have completed a second review of a Preliminary Plat, Preliminary Utility
Layout, and Preliminary Drainage Study as prepared and submitted by Crannel, Crannel &
Martin Engineering for the project referenced above. My review comments are as follows,
General
l . It is my understanding that the original zoning classification for this property before the
current zoning ordinance was adopted was SF-3 or 6,000 square foot to and that after
the new ordinance was adopted this property retained a 6,000 square foot lot zoning
designation which equates to the current zoning classification of SF-8 with a minimum
lot area of 6,000 square feet. Consequently the lot sizes shown in this plat are in
conformance with the ordinance.
2. In order to facilitate maintenance and repair of water and sewer lines and potentially
reduce inconvenience to property owners in the future, I would suggest that a 60 foot
right-of-way be dedicated to the City with a 31' back of curb to back of curb street and 4
foot wide sidewalks located 1/2 foot off of the R-O-W lines. This will allow a 10' wide
area on each side of the road to place water and sewer lines in. In order compensate the
developer, if the Council wishes to do so, the 25 foot building set back line could be
reduced to 20'. This not a requirement, only a suggestion.
3. In my previous letter I stated that the current City's Park Ordinance requires that one (1)
acre of land be dedicated to the City for public park space for every 50 lots within a new
subdivision. Accordingly, this plat should dedicate to the City a total of 7 acres for a new
park. As allowed in the ordinance the developer may choose to pay the City $500 per lot
in lieu of dedication.

MARK T. Ower4s, P.E.
GENERAL CIVIL CONSULTING ENGINEER
In response to this statement the developer stated in their letter that they intend to comply
with the ordinance either by providing an onsite park or park adjacent to the property,
It is my recommendation that before this preliminary plat is approved the developer needs to
show on the plat where the park is to be located. If the park is to be located adjacent to the
property the developer will need to shown the actual size and location and provide
documentation that the property is owned by the developer.
Preliminary Plat
1. In accordance with Item 4.03 A(2) the ingress/egress "Ald utility easements into the City's
tank and booster station site need to be shown.
2. In accordance with Item 4.03 B(6) street names should be shown for all streets. The street
identified as Canvasback Drive needs to be changed to reflect existing conditions.
3. A 5' exclusive electrical easement should be placed in front of the utility easement in the
front of all lots within the 25' building setback.
4. A variance is being requested to allow a 5' side yard setback instead of the required 8'
wide setback. I would recommend against issuance of variance to already confined nature
of the subdivsion.
Preliminary Utility Layout
1. Sizes and grades of existing water and sewer facilities should be shown in accordance
with Item 4.03 A(3) of the Subdivision Ordinance,
2. Before approval of the preliminary plat, I would recommend that an evaluation of the
capacity of lift station, forcemain and existing downstream sewer be evaluated relative to
the potential impacts this project will have and to insure capacity to service this
subdivision.
3. The proposed 8" water lines in Deer Run Drive and Quail Crossing Drive should be
� connected by an 8" line in Cowling Road.
4. A note should be placed on the plat stating that the ingress/egress easement to the
existing water tank site shall be provided by the property owner until the permanent roads
are completed.
Preliminary Drainage Study
1. Using City of Denton drainage design criteria is acceptable.

2. In accordance with Item 4.03 C all points of concentration should be shown on the map
and in the table. Specifically, where the offsite drainage flows enter the site should be
shown. Also, due to the development that has occurred subsequent to the publishing of
the USGS Quad map utilized to delineate the offsite drainage basins, I would recommend
more current topographic information be used.
3. Per my last review I requested that sizing calculations need to be shown for the proposed
detention basin to verify that the area to be dedicated to the City for the detention basin is
sufficient. In the re -submittal volume calculations were provided but not the required
horizontal and vertical dimension calculations to show that the required volume is
achieved
Should a detention basin be approved I would recommend that developer provide an
extended maintenance bond for the basin to insure that the grass has reestablished itself
and basin side slopes have been stabilized.

Ref: Preliminary Plat
Quail Run Addition
Sanger, Texas
Dear Mark,
Our office has revised the Preliminary Plat for the above referenced project in Sanger per
your comment letter dated February 27, 2002. We made the following corrections:
General
1. We will address all comments from Public Works, Fire and Code Enforcement
when received. At this time we have not received any comments.
2. Property location is accurate.
3. It is my understanding that the zoning on the property is for 6,000 s.f. lots. Our
minimum lot size is 6,600 s.f. and the average lot size is 7,577 s.f. The City
should verify the current zoning on this property.
4. We do not want to expand the right-of-way to 60 feet. The current ordinance
requires 50 feet. We have 15' wide easements at the right-of-way for utility lines.
5. The City should verify current zoning on the property.
6. We added proposed phase lines on the plat.
7. The developer will meet the cities park dedication ordinance with either an onsite
park or park adjacent to the property.
Preliminary Plat
1. Title block description modified as requested.
2. We want to abandon the current ingress/egress easement to the cities water tank
site and replace it with a city street as shown on the plan.
3. All cul-de-sac lots are a minimum 50' wide at the building setback line.
4. We added a detail showing the proposed entry medians at Cowling Road.
5. Street names have been shown.
6. We added a 15' wide general utility easement across the front of the lots. If
additional easements are needed, we will add them to the Final Plat.
7. Rear yard setbacks were added to the setback detail.
8. Vicinity Map scale is now approximately 1 `2000

Preliminary Utility Plan
1. Sizes of adjacent utility lines are shown. We will check the grades of the adjacent
sanitary sewer line and show on our final engineering plans.
2. We will tie all of our sanitary sewer lines into the newer lift station. We have
requested an easement through the property to our south so that we can extend a
gravity main to the lift station. Once we have Preliminary. Plat approval, we will
analyze the current lift station, force main and gravity main and determine any
and all upgrades necessary to handle the proposed subdivision.
" 3. We will extend our proposed 8" water main north to the existing city main per
requirements by the Public Works Department.
4. Ingress/egress to the city's water tank will be provided by a new concrete street.
Preliminary Drainage Study
1. We will follow all drainage design requirements of the Town of Sanger.
2. 2' contours were added to the plans.
3. For this preliminary drainage study, we used the USGS quad maps. Once the
Preliminary Plat is approved, we will prepare a full topographic map of the site
and adjacent property. We will prepare a detailed study on all drainage for the
project with final engineering plans.
4. The detention pond has been preliminarily sized based on no increase in storm
water flow. We have requested a drainage easement from the adjacent land
owner. If an easement is granted, we will delete the detention pond. The
developer will provide an extended maintenance agreement for the detention pond
when constructed. The pond will be constructed when Phase 1 is developed. The
pond will be maintained throughout the total development, insuring that the pond
side slopes and bottom are grassed and stabilized.
Please review the revised plans and place this plat on the next P&Z agenda.

Re: Quail Run -Preliminary Plat

Sanger, Texas
I" Review
Dear Mr. Smith:
N Per your request I have reviewed a Preliminary Plat, Preliminary Utility Layout, and Preliminary
Drainage Study as prepared and submitted by Crannel, Crannel & Martin Engineering for the
project referenced above. Comments are referenced by the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of
Sanger, Texas as adopted September 21, 1987, Zoning Ordinance adopted August 3, 1987, and
Ordinance No. 05-06-01. My review comments are as follows:
General
1. All comments received from Public Works, Fire Department and Code Enforcement
should also be addressed prior to preliminary plat approval.
2. The property is generally located east of Cowling Road in the southern portion of the
City.
3. It is my understanding that when the new zoning ordinance was enacted that this property
was converted from SF-3 to the current zoning classification of 3F-7 with a minimum lot
area of 7,000 square feet. I am also assuming that the new zoning classification is SF4G
which would allow a 1,200 square foot minimum dwelling size. Whether it is an A,B,
...... or H type of classification needs to be clarified.
4. In order to facilitate maintenance and repair of water and sewer lines and potentially
reduce inconvenience to property owners in the future, I would suggest that a 60 foot
right -of --way be dedicated to the City with a 31' back of curb to back of curb street and 4
foot wide sidewalks located'/z foot off of the R-O-W lines. This will allow a 10' wide
area on each side of the road to place water and sewer lines in. In order compensate the
developer, if the Council wishes to do so, the 25 foot building set back line could be
reduced to 20'.

MARK T. OWNS, P.E.Ali
GENERAL CIVIL CONSULTING ENGINEER
5. According to the City's current zoning ordinance the Developer is requesting an SF-8
zoning classification. According to the ordinance an SF-8 zoning classification is only to
be used to accommodate existing properties in the older part of town.
the property is to be developed in phases, I would recommend to the developer that
they show the phases on the plat.
7. The City's Park Ordinance requires that one (1) acre of land be dedicated to the City for
public park space for every 50 lots within a new subdivision. Accordingly, this plat
should dedicate to the City a total of 7 acres for a new park. As allowed in the ordinance
the developer may choose to pay the City $500 per lot in lieu of dedication.
Preliminary Plat
r
1. The title block on the preliminary plat should indicate the tract designation and other
pertinent descriptions as required in Item 4.03 B(4) of the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. In accordance with Item 4.03 A(2) the ingress/egress and utility easements into the City's
tank and booster station site need to be shown.
3. For all cul-de-sac lots the arc distance at the building lines should be shown to verify
minimum lot width of 50 feet.
4. As shown on the plat streets "A" and "B" prior to the intersections with Cowling Road
have 70' right-of-ways. I would assume these are for turn lanes or for some type of
entrance structure. I would request that the developer provide us with some type of detail
or explanation as to why they are proposing the 70' right -of --way.
5. In accordance with Item 4.03 B(6) street names should be shown for all streets. T would
assume the City does not want the names as currently shown.
6. No easements are shown, I would recommend that a 15' utility easement (U.E.) with a
p_
minimum 5' exclusive electrical easement be placed in the front of all lots within the 25'
building setback.
7. Minimum rear yard setbacks are not shown on that typical lot setback detail.
8. Scale of Vicinity Map should bel" = 2000'. The vicinity map should show an area of at
least 1 mile in each direction from the project.
Preliminary Utility Layout
1. Sizes and grades of existing water and sewer facilities should be shown in accordance
with ltem 4.03 A(3) of the Subdivision Ordinance.

2. All new sewer facilities for all phases should be tied into the newer lift station located
south of the proposed subdivision along Cowling Road and not into the lift station across
from the proposed subdivision. This would require constructing a new sewer line along
Cowling Road or some alternative route.
I would recommend that an evaluation of the capacity of lift station, forcemain and
existing downstream sewer be evaluated relative to the potential impacts this project will
have and to insure capacity to service this subdivision.
3. The 8" water lines in Streets "A" & "B" cannot connect to the Upper trinity line as
shown. Connection to offsite water should be worked out with the Public Works
Department and shown on the plans.
4. An ingress/egress easement to the existing water tank site shall be provided by the
property owner through all phases of development.
Preliminary Drainage Study
1. Using City of Denton drainage design criteria is acceptable.
2. In accordance with Item 4.03 A(4) 2400t contours should be shown on all drawings. This
will assist me in evaluation drainage and the layout of the sanitary sewer and stormdrain
line.
3. In accordance with Item 4.03 C all points of concentration should be shown on the map
and in the table. Specifically, where the offsite drainage flows enter the site should be
shown. Also, due to the development that has occurred subsequent to the publishing of
the USGS Quad map utilized to delineate the offsite drainage basins, T would recommend
more current topographic information be used.
4. Sizing calculations need to be shown for the proposed detention basin to verify that the
area to be dedicated to the City for the detention basin is sufficient.
Should a detention basin be approved I would recommend that developer provide an
extended maintenance bond for the basin to insure that the grass has reestablished itself
and basin side slopes have been stabilized.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please call me at (940) 3914845.

April 9, 2002
Dear City Councilmen,
The Keep Sanger Beautiful Board recently received the resignation of one of its
members, Kim Shaw. Since this is a very dedicated and energetic board which
requires many volunteer hours from each participant it is important that the new
member be enthusiastic and able to devote time to the continuation of its projects.
The Keep Sanger Beautiful Board would like to suggest for your consideration as a
new member either Janiece Newton or Helen Giese.
Thank you for your support and concern for the city of Sanger.
Alice Madden,
Keep Sanger Beautiful Board, Chairman

Mrs. Alice Madden, President
Keep Sanger Beautiful
Sanger, TX 76266
Dear Mrs. Madden and Board Members:
It is with deep regret I resign my position with the Keep Sanger Beautiful Board effective immediately.
The increasing demands and travel associated with my job along with family obligations limit my non-
professional time. As a result, I can't give full attention to my responsibility with Keep Sanger Beautiful
and feel that I am shortchanging this Board.
There are several people who could take over my position and have shown an interest in becoming a board
member. They are Kern Greene, Laura Williams, Sharon Miller, Helen Guiese, Jeanice Newton or Penny
Juarez.
All of you have been wonderful to work with and added immense meaning to my life. You have my best
wishes for continued success in keeping Sanger beautiful.
Sincerely, 1(�

An inh'ig�uing' new book recently
received at the Sanger Public Li-
brary, "Dinner at the New Gene
Cafe" by national environmental re-
porterBill Lambrecht, examines the
controversial issue of genetic engi-
neering, particularly in the case of
the foods we grow and eat.
Initially, trials of genetically
modified crops began in the 1990's
with small fields in various climate
and soil conditions. By 2000, 75 mil-
lion acres in the United States, com-
posed of over 50 different
bioengineered crops, were in culti-
vation —worldwide, the total acreage
was almost 110 million. The major-
ity of this genetic tinkering' has had
the stated goal of increasing' insect
and disease resistance and increas-
ing herbicide tolerance to allow
spraying for weeds — in other words,
improving the healUl and yield of our
that we had not considered and may
not be prepared to confi-ont. For ex-
ample, some studies have shown
modified crops have also caused
damage to Monarch butterflies and
ladybugs, harmless creatures be-
loved by many Another concern is
felt by people with life-tlu•eatening'
food allergies, such as to peanuts.
They question whether bits of DNA
transferred from one species to an-
other might also transfer allergen to
unsuspecting' potential victims. Also
of concern is the creation of a "Ter-
minator System" in which
bioengineered plants produce sterile
seeds (currently not in use but
proven successhil). This system
coupled with chemical and
biotechnical corporations now own-
ing' the majority of the world's larg-
est seed companies, in effect gives
these conQ'lomerates increasing con-

tion of a Monsanto. If we believe
benevolent leadership prevails in
these corporations we may not be
concerned, but the potential for
abuse of such power should be con-
sidered.
Outside of the United :Mates,
there has been a much more impas-
sionedreaction to the introduction of
bioeng'ineered foods. Lambrecht
feels a "better safe than sorry" atti-
tude explains events such as the
sabotage of fields of geneticall3r modi-
fied sugar beets in Ireland and corn
seed storehouses in France, the vio-
lent confrontations among' protest-
ors,farmers, and business and politi-
cal figures, the demands for explicit
labeling of any modified crops and
their products, and the highly publi-
ciLed rejections of such products by
food retailers such as Safeway and
McDonald's. Americans have shown
much less passion and polarisation,
he states, approaching the issue
more like a typical cost vs. benefits
analysis. A major exception has been
during World Trade:Org'anization
meetings. As the only body able to
set and enforce rules of governing
international commerce, the �VTO
has become the arena for policies re-
garding genetically modified seeds,
crops, and food products from the
United States spreading' throt�.ghout
the world.
"Dinner at the New Gene Cafe"
is not a light read, although
Lambrecht has done much to make
a very complex issue comprehen-
sible to the average reader, who
might not be fluent in DNA or crop
management techniques.
Interviewees range from small fam-
ily farmers to genetic and environ-
mental scientists, and represents a
wide array of positions on various
aspects of genetic engineering. Fig-
uresand dates are abundant, but the
sources for these are rarely given —
there are no footnotes or bibliogra-
phy, and questioning readers may
wonder if all the numbers are accu-
rate or from reliable sources. Even
the skeptical, however, should find
this athought-provoking book and
one that raises some serious issues.
