(the letter will become part of these Minutes and are so attached) Mr. Kirk was again asked of the possibilities of annexing into Tequesta, Mr. Kirk told Council that the problem of the proposed 50' wide streets with Tequesta requiring 60' wide streets still exist. There were comments from the audience from Mr. Herb Foxman, Mr. Sal Manc°a,so and Mrs. Jill Gemino, all of Tequesta Pines, The primary concern of the Village Council in regard to the drainage was the lack of jurisdiction and control of a drainage system which would have a direct impact on drainage systems within the Village. However, it was the consensus of the Village Council that it would not object to the drainage as proposed by the developer in the event that the Village would have control and jur~.`~dictior~, wh:~ch co°il,d only come about by annexation. It is the further consensus of ~i:rre village Council that they would give consideration to granting a variance in regard to the Village's subdivision regulations relating to the width of the streets. This and other subdivision regulations are matters which need further consideration and clarification by the Village Council. The Village Attorney will coordinate with the developer's Attorney in regard to the mechanics of annexing into the Village subject to the matter discussed above.

JENSON, P.E. - Mr. Bob Harp, Village Manager Village of Tequesta Post Office Box 3273 Tequesta, Florida 33458 Re: Chapel Court Subdivision Drainage Dear Bab : As per your request we have reviewed the drainage calculations for the Chapel Court Subdivision near Tequesta, Florida. Based on our findings we have the following comments or recommendations: 1. The 70' x 420' retention area proposed for .the sub- - division is of adequate size when constructed for a • retention water depth of 4.0+ feet. w 2. The drainage calculations utilized a natural, unspoiled percolation rate for the percolation discharges thru the bottom of the retention area.- We contend that this natural rate will be slowed by bottom vegetation and siltation with time. 3. We recommend that the Village allow the retention area discharge pipe to be connected to the existing drainage inlets at Beechwood Trail-under the following conditions: a. A control structure be furnished at the retention area on the end of the discharge pipe. b. The structure allow adjustment of retention water depth from at least 2 feet to 4 feet deep before discharging into the outfall pipe. A riser type structure-may be installed with stop-log adjustment over the total 4 feet of retention depth. ._ c. The initial setting on the control struct should be for a two f2) foot retention wa depth. This depth would be reached withi the retention area before discharge was, achieved. ~" ~~ ~~~~ ~~ , ~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~,~'.~ .. ~ .~ - ~ ~~® GEE & JENSON Enx:VEERS-ARCHITEC75-PLANNERS,IIC. Mr. Bob Harp, Village Manager January 8, 1981 Page Two d. The Village be given permission to enter the - retention area and adjust the outfall elevation of the structure as necessary to balance the flow conditions within-the existing storm drainage system.
