Austin League, Abstract 20, City of Friendswood, Galveston County, Texas Mr. Pena, the owner of the property, spoke for the replating and explained that he would like to remove the private pond from his prope1ty. He referenced a moratorium set by the City on January 22, 2007, for property that is 5 acres or less. He stated that his paper work was submitted during the time of that moratorium and that there will not be any fmther development on the property. Mr. Birdwell is not opposed because the area floods. He questioned where the water would go if Mr. Pena did remove the pond. Mr. Webb said the water is not draining in the right direction and every time it rains the area floods. Therefore, the pond is needed to help with the flooding in the area. Mr. Pena explained that the city and drainage district reviewed the plans for the pond and suggested an outlet be installed to take care of the drainage, which he did. He added that previously, the city put a pipe under his property with out his knowledge. In addition, he stated that someone previously gave a drainage easement for storm sewer and that the pond on his property is a private pond. Mrs. Webb explained that every time we have a heavy rain, the area floods. She stated that she originally sold the five acres, but told the new owner not to build more than one home on the five acre tract. She added that the new home was built much higher and that she will sue the City of Friendswood if her house floods. Chairman Jim Gibson asked City Attorney Olson for legal advice about the pond. It appears that the pond was for the five acres and that they will have to allow for the drainage. Mr. _Olson will check on this. 3.Adjourn Public Hearing REGULAR MEETING 1.Call to order The meeting was called to order at 7:59 pm with the following present: Chairman Jim Gibson Commissioner Kevin Holland Commissioner Robert Bertrand Commissioner Sherry Weesner Administrative Secretary III Rhonda Baker Interim Dir. of Community Dev.
