PS 96-08 Request of Carter Love for Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Forest Grove Addition. (Located at 7429 Continental Trail) Mr. Husband stated this is a final plat of a 1.7 acre tract located on Continental Trail. He stated the property is zoned AG Agriculture, and the Commission waived the requirement to rezone the property upon approval of the preliminary plat. He stated the developer has agreed to sign a covenant for street and sidewalk improvements adjacent to this property in return for being allowed to build a 40-foot extension of the street for access. Mr. Husband stated the developer will also install an on-site aerobic sewage system in place of a septic system. He stated the property did not meet the percolation requirements of the County. Mr. Baxter asked if the sewer system would be located in the flood plain. Mr. Miller stated they will not allow the system to be located in the flood plain, but there is little that can be done to prevent runoff into the flood plain. He stated this system involves electricity, mechanical parts, and pumps. He stated maintenance of the system is always a concern. He stated there is one similar system in the ~~ MiQutfits - Page 3 March 14, 1996 city. He stated that Tarrant County allows this type of system, so the city agreed to allow this one as a test case. Mr. John Zimmerman, 908 W Main Street, Arlington, came forward to speak. He stated he is Mr. Love's engineer. He stated the sewer main is 265 feet to the east, and extending the line would require a portion of the sewer line to be above ground. He stated the elevation of the line, an existing storm drain and an existing water line make it very difficult and expensive to install the line. Mr. Baxter made the motion to approve PS 96-08 subject to the following requirements: that a covenant be executed for street and sidewalk improvements to Continental Trail, and that the sewer system not be located within the flood plain. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller. The motion carried 6-0. STAFF REPORT None CITIZEN COMMENTS None. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. ~...
