I attached a letter with a couple of changes (feel free to use any, all or none of my suggestions). The main change is in the extra inlets. His main issue is that they are not needed
and he would like to allow the water to just flow into the intersection. The problem is that the water does not know that it should turn and it could go straight into someone's house.
I won't go into great detail, but our Subdivision Ordinance states that our drainage design generally conforms to the City of Dallas Drainage Design Manual. The CDDDM states "To minimize
water draining through an intersection, inlets should be placed upgrade from an intersection".
I didn't include that technical information in your letter, I just stated that it's our responsibility to protect citizens.
This should really be fun when we get to discuss it at Council.
