These two streets are in separate subdivisions and Timbercreek Court presently has people occupying houses on it. Since Timbercreek Trail does not have anyone living on it as yet and the street signs have not been ordered for it, the developer agreed to a name change.

TEXAS 75002 October 14, 1982 To: Jon McCarty, City Manager From: Bill Petty, Building Official Subj: Staff Recommendations for Drainage Control System on Experimental Basis for the Allen Bowl Addition During the preliminary meetings with the developers of the proposed Allen Bowl Addition, storm drainage requirements for developed property was a major concern. The present drainage design standards for engineering of storm drainage is to move that water through underground storm sewers to the nearest waterway adequate in size to carry the required flow. A concept was introduced to the city by the develop- er's engineer that is evidently being used successfully by the Texas Department of Highways and the City of Austin for an above ground atom water retention area designed and engineered to hold excess water and release it in small enough amounts that the present drainage easement and flumes located in the Windridge Addition would be able to sufficiently carry the water to the street and to the existing storm sewers. The design and engineering work was prepared by Mr. Gene Geer, professional engineer, based on the City of Allen design calculations for storm water drainage. This design and engineering has been reviewed by the City Engineer and he has recommended its use as an experimental drainage system based upon his belief (as per his attached letter) that this method might be incorporated as an alternate means in the City of Allen. Drainage Design Standards. Staff has reviewed the City of Austin design standards for this type of drainage and would make the following recommendations if this is to be used as an experimental design: 1.

In addition to city inspection of, construction the design engineer must inspect all work and supply an affidavit upon completion that all construction has met the design, engineering, and standards required in his original submission. 4. A legal instrument filed of record as a running covenant with the land involved guaranteeing the following: a. Recognizing the design to be one of experimental nature. b. Assumption of liability for damages to life or adjacent properties due to flooding because of accumulation or runoff of rain water resulting in a lack of design standards to meet the current acceptable City of Allen drainage design standards. c. Agreement with the City of Allen that at any time the city finds the experimental design to be of inadequate nature to adequately carry the waters based upon the 100 year flood calculations that the owners of the land, upon notice by the city, will install to city standards underground storm sewer to the nearest waterway adequate to carry the flow based on current drainage design standards and that all flow of storm water across the property must be unrestr- icted at that time. d. That all shrubs, trees, grass, etc., used as part of the water retention area be maintained properly at all times. e. A hold -harmless clause holding the City of Allen harmless to any cost or claim to any of the above mentioned requirements. It should be recognized that according to the City Engineer this design is adequate to meet city requirements and should be considered as an alternate for future design and drainage for these type of areas. The limits of protection recommended by the staff above are merely safeguards based upon the fact that we, as a city, at this time have no experience in this type of drainage design and since it is the first of its nature in our area, we feel we must C proceed cautiously in this first venture of an experimental nature.
