Existing approved water and sanitary sewage facilities should be u~ed where possible. 2.

An individual \'1ell to serve a single d\.¡elling shall be constructed in such a way as to preclude health hazards with respect to ,well casings, location of well, animal pens, septic tank, etc. 4. Individual septic tank systems should be permitted to serve single dwellings only where percolation tests, sub-soil test and topography reflect system suitability. . 5. In all areas \-¡here septic tanks are contemplated, lot sizes should be determined after representative percolation tests reveal .degree of soil suitability. We prefer that all lots contain at least . 20,000 square feet and be of such dimensions as to allow proper design of proposed lateral fields. v'le sometimes allow a reduct.ion of lot size in "har-àship" cases for isolated single family dvrellings or in low number total unit development areas. The feasibility of such reduction ho~rever, must be reflected by excellent soil suitability test and be compatible \ri th existing Qunicipal mandates. 30il test criteria submitted for Cherokee Estates does not meet minim~~ standards required for the implementation of septic tank systems. It is our opinion th,9.t the use of septic tank systems in subject ar.ea ~lÌ1I subsequently result in conditions prejudicial to the public health.

October 26, 1972 Planning & Zoning Commission City of North Richland Hills 4101 Morgan Circle Fort Worth, Texas 76118 Subject: 3-818, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, SUNNY MEADOW ADDITION Gentlemen: We have received the revised preliminary plan for the subject subdivision, and offer our comments as follows: 1. We would recommend that a minimum of 300 foot radius be used for location of fire hydrants within the portions of this plat zoned for multi-family and industrial usage, rather than the 500 foot minimum requirement for single family subdivisions. 2. In further regard to the water system, the plat indicates an 8" line in Davis Blvd. at the West boundary of the property. The Master Plan calls for a 16" line in this location, and we feel that this line should be constructed at this time. Also, the Master Plan indicates a 12" line in Shirley Drive from Newman Drive East, rather than the 6" as shown. This water line should also be constructed at this time. Further, the 6" line in Newman Drive is also indicated as a 12" line on the Master Plan. This line extends South on Newman to the street with 60 feet of right-of-way at the Southern boundary of the subdivision (no street name. indicated); and thence, West to connect to an existing 6" line in Davis Blvd. The portion of the 12" line that is in the proposed Second Filing should be constructed at this time. All water lines throughout the industrial portion of this subdivision should be 8", in lieu of the 6" size shown, for fire protection. 3. Run-off calculations, in c.f.s., are not shown for the two (2) drainage areas in the Southeastern portion of the subdivision; 600 FIRST STATE BANK BUILDING' BEDFORD. TEXAS 76021. PHONE (817) 283-6211 '. . Page 2 - 10/26/72 - Planning & Zoning Commission thereby making it difficult to determine the drainage requirements for the area. Also, the dimensions (pipe size) of all proposed drainage is not shown, as has been noted, but this is required in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance. 4. Pearl Street (at North edge of subdivision) indicates that all storm drainage is to be carried in the street (39.1 c.f.s.) and that the street wi 11 have 8" curbs and a 6" street crown. This design is adequate only if the street grade is maintained at a minimum of 1%. Also 7" curbs are called for West of the 8" curb. Calculations should be furnished to indicate where the transition can actually take place. 5. As the storm sewer exits this property to the East at the 60' wide street at the Southeast corner of this property, a drainage ditch will be required in order to release the underground storm water. This drainage ditch will be on property not owned by the Developer; and therefore, the City should require written evidence of permission to construct such a ditch and to maintain it in that location until other arrangements are made by that property owner. This will also be required for the storm drainage structure where water exits the property near the Southwest corner. 6. The sewer line entering the manhole at the South edge of the property from the East should be an 8" line and the existing sewer shown at that location is only a 6" line. Should you need further information in regard to this review, please do not hesitate to call. Yours very truly, \\ · ILw ()~L J. ~CHARD PERKINS, P.E. JRP-hr CC: Mr. Gene Riddle, City Manager
