Present: Dean Saurenman (Chairman)
Frank Coe

John Van Bockel
BUSINESS ITEMS
1.Discussed several areas that the FPC requires communication/
direction from the Mayor and Council prior to proceeding, e.g.
(a)Zoning -FPC requests status and awaiting review with City
Attorney, Mayor and Council.
(b)Trailer Park Or dinance -Same as above.
(c)Architectural Planning -Need a Mayor/Council consensus and
decision. T. Banfield to obtain cost estimate for Haimsath
proposal.
2.The FPC had no new business items put before it, so reviewed a
few items meriting discussion.
(a)Pedestrian Overpasses -It was noted that a few communities,
most notably in Florida, utilize pedestrian overpasses to
enhance safety in traversing busy thoroughfares. Feasibility
for Friendswood was considered questionable but worth reviewing
with the Mayor and Council.
(b)Sidewalks -The FPC recommends that the City Ordinances be
amended to include a requirement for sidewalks in all future
subdivisions pending review and approval from the Mayor/Council.
(c)Parks -Means of obtaining public park land was discussed.
One method the FPC considers worth further investigation is
via a sub-developer requirement to deed or set aside for this
purpose a certain percentage of the land he is developing.
Related to Parks (Public & Private) the question arose as to
under what situations, if any, would the City provide free water
for non-public facilities?
3.Next meeting July 28, 1969.
