128 Texas A&M International University C/ APPENDIX The proposed student life building (Key O) and academic buildings (Key K, L, M&N) sits on an existing parking lot and the baseball fields which are sheet flowing to the South, crossing University Blvd, and flowing towards the green belt on the South (see the snip below) (See the reference in near-term and mi-term plans). There are existing inlets, 24” RCP, 30” RCP and 42” RCP pipes in the area South, East, and West to the Building N and none of these conflict with the proposed buildings. All these pipes are connected to the storm infrastructure along University Blvd which eventually flows into the creek on the South side. Existing storm infrastructure may need to be rerouted and relocated depending on the new building locations and grading around them. With the new improvements, we can incorporate some storm water quality ponds, bioswales and retention ponds in the Landscape areas (see the attached exhibit) and connect them to the existing storm infrastructure on the University Blvd. The proposed student housing (Key J) is South of the existing Residential Community which is at a higher elevation than University Blvd. The existing drainage pattern sheet flows to the storm culverts along University Blvd. and to green belt on the South and East side. There is existing storm infrastructure (4” HDPE and 24” RCP pipes) in this area which will require rerouting and relocation. The proposed student housing can be drained via sheet flow towards the South and towards the green belt. Refer to the attached exhibit showing the proposed drainage pattern. There is new proposed Landscape planned between the proposed buildings, and this could create an opportunity to incorporate some storm water quality ponds, bioswales and retention ponds and connect them to the existing re-routed storm infrastructure. The proposed Arena (Key R) and Ball Fields (Key S) doesn’t have any existing storm infrastructure. As these are fields, the storm water can sheet flow into the green belt towards South-West (See the attached Exhibit). The long-term plan may require upsizing the existing Storm mains as per the demand and proposed new storm infrastructure.
