An information sheet was given to Commission members concerning this. 3 FPZC-M-1 2-21 -72 SUBDIVISION Mrs. North reported on a phone conversation with City Attorney REGULATION Jerden, during which he stated that laying out roads and ENFORCEMENT selling lots definitely constitutes subdivision. Mr. Jerden had recommended that Planning Commission members read his opinion regarding this which is dated June, 1972. A copy of this was given to each member. Mr. Jerden had felt that it would be in order for Planning Commission or Council or the Mayor to write a letter with the information that Friendswood has extended its Subdivision Ordinance to the extraterritorial jurisdiction and that it has come to the attention of Planning Commission that a subdivision is being created. A copy should be sent to the developer and to the County Clerk. The Commission felt that it would also be ehlpful to notify the realtors selling the lots and the local newspapers. It was mentioned by Mrs. North that the area in which this is being done is in an area where water wells have been expensive and not always successful.

He did say that he would send the which the Planning Commission another lot layout, since one had was apparently lost in the mails on the way to Mr. Jerden. Mrs. North told Mr. Gartrell that she thought he should come in with his plat, anyway, since Planning Commission needs to be sure that it fits in with existing or planned streets and sewers. CIRCULATION Mrs. North presented the Houston/Harris County and the that PLAN Galveston County Transportation Plans and recommended Planning Commission adopt them, in order to do as is done in Harris County and require subdividers to install a four -lane street where arterials are indicated on the circulation plan.
