Karissa Anne: There are other areas and homes that should be considered.
Eric and Amanda Pearson -304 Oak Drive
We are residents of Polly Ranch and have been for many years. We are opposed to the proposed city
park where Frenchmen's Creek in Polly Ranch now resides. We already have had numerous problems at
the small private Polly Ranch Park where non-residents were partying and trashing the park grounds.
The increased traffic in our area would also be a problem for the many residents who bike,jog and walk
(many pushing baby carriages) in our neighborhood streets which have no sidewalks. Traffic is bad
enough where automobiles cut thru Polly Ranch to avoid the traffic lights at FM 528 and FM 518.
Perhaps a better solution would be a flood mitigation project at Frenchmen's Creek similar to what is
being done where Imperial Estates was located. The recent rain from Tropical Storm Beta still flooded
Clear Creek enough to overflow its banks despite all the work done upstream from Polly Ranch.Those
Polly Ranch residents on Pine and portions of Oak Drive were very lucky not to get flooded again.
Thank you for listening to our genuine concerns.
Abigail Kasinger:This city needs more green space, and a significant amount of flood mitigation.This
seems like a great first step, and I look forward to seeing all that the city plans to do to prevent more
flooding. Thanks!
Cyndi Bohannon -2102 McKissick Dr
I would like to voice my strong objection to having a public park placed within the sub-division of Polly
Ranch. We understand that the property on which Frenchman's Creek currently stands is to become a
flood control project, but it does not need to become a public park. Polly Ranch does not have sidewalks
and already supports a high volume of walkers and bikers. Adding additional car traffic a public park
would attract to this sub-division is a public safety hazard. We already have trouble with speeding down
the straight lengths of Oak, Butler and Airline, we do not need additional traffic to exacerbate this
problem. I am sure that accommodations can be made with the HOA should no parking or access to the
creek be provided.
Cathy X Heaven: I have just read through the housing guidelines for the acquisition of my home in
Frenchman's Creek. As you can imagine, I have many questions and would like clarification.
May I suggest a 'town meeting' like we had in December 2018 when all this started?To include the City,
the Project Manager, and whomever else you deem necessary? I believe at one point you'd said this
would be our next step after choosing a Manager. (We can social distance if the space is big enough.)
I cannot help but think this would be in all our best interests. I'm sure my neighbors have as many if not
more questions than I do.
Thank you in advance for making this happen.
Anna Slaton -113 Oak Drive
I am very concerned with The plan by out for Frenchmans Creek located in the private neighborhood of
Polly Ranch. Polly Ranch already been affected poorly by the traffic caused by the Virgant property built
near of 518 and 528(Chick Fil A). The west ranch development also caused a major increase of traffic for
Polly Ranch, as many West Ranch residents cut through Polly Ranch to bypass the long lines at the light
located at 518 and 528. Polly Ranch is a small quiet neighborhood with a private HOA managed park. We
are completely against the Frenchmans Creek property turning into a city of Friendswood Community
Park which would bring even more traffic through the neighborhood. Polly Ranch has no sidewalk, so
more traffic is more hazardous for neighbors who walk, run and bike in our neighborhood. Polly Ranch
would like to discuss different options available if Frenchmans Creek is bought out. Could Polly Ranch
HOA Acquire Private Rights to the property and be responsible for maintenance of the property. Can
Frenchmans Creek property become Private Open Space to be maintained by Polly Ranch HOA? Could
Polly ranch HOA purchase easement rights? Please contact me to discuss options available for Polly
Ranch.

My comments on the use of the Frenchman's Creek property are as
follows:
• I support the acquisition of the property outlined on page 13 of
the City of Friendswood CDBG-DR Hurricane Harvey
Acquisition Guidelines dated September 11,2020 for the
purpose of improving the floodway.
• I do not support converting the area into a park. I live in Polly
Ranch and our private park sees endless trespassing by
individuals who do not live in Polly Ranch.A Frenchman's
Creek Park will only act to exacerbate the problem,not to
mention providing a nuisance to the remaining residents of
Frenchman's Creek and surrounding Polly Ranch neighbors.
Also,Frenchman's Creek is only two lots away from our
private park.
• I support a green space for the Frenchman's Creek property
and planned flood control structures.

Re: CenterPoint Energy 2021 Annual GRIP Adjustment for the Texas Coast Division
Dear Madam or Sir:
CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp., d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Entex and CenterPoint
Energy Texas Gas ("CenterPoint" or the"Company"), files the tariffs and supporting documents,
in electronic form, with the City of Friendswood ("City") consistent with Section 7.7101 of the
Railroad Commission of Texas("Commission")Gas Services Division Rules and Section 104.301
of the Texas Utilities Code to establish the annual gas reliability infrastructure program("GRIP")
interim rate adjustment("IRA")for the Company's Texas Coast Division,which includes the City.
The proposed IRA will affect rates for natural gas service customers located in the City.
Simultaneously with this filing,CenterPoint makes the same GRIP filing with the Commission for
customers located in the City's environs and cities of the Texas Coast Division that have ceded
original jurisdiction to the Commission.
CenterPoint consistently supplies its customers in the Texas Coast Division with safe and
dependable natural gas service by prudently investing in additions and upgrades to its delivery
system. The-Company will continue to prudently invest in its infrastructure in order to improve
its natural gas service to its customers and to anticipate and meet their needs under all operating
conditions. The GRIP program enables a gas utility such as CenterPoint to begin recovery of its
incremental capital investment in the system, subject to a prudence review in its next rate case.
This reduces regulatory lag and incentivized needed investment. Consistent with Section 104.301
of the Texas Utilities Code and Commission precedent, the City's review of this GRIP filing is
limited to a ministerial review to ensure compliance with the GRIP statute.
Pursuant to applicable law,the proposed IRA will become effective on May 3,2021,unless
the City suspends that date for a period of no longer than forty-five(45) days. The approved IRA
will be applied to the monthly customer charge and will remain in effect until superseded by the
earlier of(1)the effective date of the Company's next annual GRIP adjustment for the Texas Coast
Division; or (2) the issuance of a final order in a rate setting proceeding for the Texas Coast
Division.

Section 11. The board of adjustment--Powers and duties.
The board of adjustment shall have the following powers and duties:
A. Administrative review. To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in
any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by an administrative official in
the enforcement of this ordinance. The board shall apply the following standards in
deciding the appeal:
1. That there is a reasonable difference of interpretation as to the specific intent of
the zoning regulations or zoning map.
2. That the resulting interpretation will not grant a special privilege to one
property inconsistent with other properties or uses similarly situated.
3. The decision of the board must be such as will be in the best interest of the
community and consistent with the spirit and interest of the city's zoning laws.
B. Variance; conditions governing applications; authority and limitations. To authorize
upon appeal in specific cases, such variance from the terms of this ordinance as will not
be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement
of the provisions of this ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the
spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. In exercising such
powers of variance, the board may, in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance,
reverse or affirm,wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or
determination appealed from and make such order, requirement, decision, or
determination as ought to be made, and to that end the board shall have all the powers of
the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
In granting any variance, the board of adjustment may describe appropriate conditions
and safeguards in conformity with this ordinance. Violations of such conditions and
safeguards,when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be
deemed a violation of this ordinance.
Under no circumstances shall the board of adjustment grant a variance to allow a use not
permissible under the terms of this ordinance in the district involved, or any use,
expressly or impliedly, prohibited by the terms of this ordinance in said district.
C. Special exceptions. To hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of this
ordinance upon which the board is required to pass under this ordinance.
1. Authority and Scope. The board shall have the power to grant temporary and
permanent special exceptions from the city's zoning ordinance.
2. Permanent Special Exceptions. A permanent special exception may be granted
only for the following reasons:
a. Interpretive Authority. If a definition or term of the City's zoning ordinance
is ambiguous or contrary to common understanding, the board would clarify the
definition or term based on the common definition or understanding of the term.
(Example: An attached garage is normally understood to mean one where there
are one or more common walls and a roof structure between the garage and the
main property building. A board determination may be that roof structures alone
are not considered walls so one or more buildings with a breezeway between them
may not be considered as "attached"). No additional special exception shall be
granted based on the board's initially interpreted definition.
b. De Minimus Exception. The board may grant a special exception for very
small exceptions to the zoning ordinance, where the spirit of the Code is met and
there is an overriding benefit to the applicant with no detriment to the surrounding
neighbors or the City. (An example would be a where a 9.5 foot setback for
building would be allowed where a 10 foot setback is required, to allow the
property owner to save an oak tree.)
C. Medical Necessity. The board may grant a special exception to the above
cited portions of the zoning ordinance if a medical necessity is proven, or to meet
the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. For medical reasons or
necessity, the reason for the special exception must be related to the medical
condition and be supported by a letter from the applicant's physician defining the
physical limitations of the applicant.
d. No other permanent special exception based on the board's decision or
determination in one case regarding structures may be granted for other cases
without the proper board determination on the subsequent cases.
e. A permanent special exception shall have no expiration date.
3. Temporary Special Exceptions. A temporary special exception, not to exceed
ninety (90) days in term, may be granted by the board to allow for the construction of
non-complying structures for reasons in addition to ambiguous definitions or terms,
medical reasons/necessity, or De Minimus circumstances. In order for a request for a
temporary special exception to be brought before the board, there needs to be 1)a finding
by the City's building official that an issue of non-compliance with the City's zoning
ordinance would exist by virtue of applicant's construction; and 2)there are demonstrated
significant reasons why immediate action cannot reasonably be taken by the applicant to
achieve compliance with the City's zoning ordinance. No other temporary special
exception based on the board's decision or determination in one case regarding structures
may be granted for other cases without the proper board determination on the subsequent
cases.
4. Requirements. Temporary or permanent special exceptions may be granted only
after the following items have been addressed.
a. The City's building official has denied the applicant a permit or permits
based on non-compliance with the City's zoning ordinance; and
b. The applicant has made a written request for a special exception in
accordance with section 211.010, Texas Local Government Code and Appendix
C, Section 10(B)of the Code of Ordinances; and
C. The applicant's request is based on ambiguous definitions or terms,
medical reasons or necessity or ADA compliance, or other special De Minimus
circumstances, and that there are demonstrated significant economic reasons why
action cannot be taken by the applicant to achieve compliance with the City's
zoning ordinance; and
d. There has been notice and a public hearing as required Appendix C,
Section 10(C)of the Code of Ordinances; and
e. The applicant agrees to accept reasonable conditions or actions that the
board may suggest to mitigate potential issues with or objections to the
applicant's request; however, the board cannot require such conditions or actions
to be accepted in return for a favorable decision by the board, rather the case must
be otherwise decided on its merits. (An example is installing additional property
drainage as a condition for side setback relief); and
f. In no case shall the board be authorized to grant permanent special
exceptions or temporary special exceptions that would in effect allow a violation
of the City's Health Code, Life Safety Code or Fire Safety Code; and
g. Under no circumstances shall the board grant a request for a special
exception that would have the effect of allowing a use not permissible under the
terms of the zoning ordinance in the district involved, or any use, expressly or
impliedly,prohibited by the terms of the zoning ordinance in the subject district.
5. Finding. A special exception shall not be granted unless the board shall make a
determination that the granting of the special exception will not adversely affect the
public interest. In making its determination, the board shall duly consider, where
applicable,the following:
a. The most appropriate use of the land and conservation and stabilization of
property values;
b. Adequate open spaces for light and air and required yards and other open
spaces;
C. Congestion of public streets, including ingress and egress to property with
particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and
control,and access in case of fire or catastrophe;
d. Off-street parking, loading and service areas where required;
e. Economic, noise, dust, heat, glare, or odor effects of the special exception
on surrounding properties or the City;
f. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, adequacy and
compatibility;
g. Screens and buffers with reference to type, dimensions, character, and
adequacy;
h. General compatibility with surrounding properties and general welfare of
the persons residing and working in the area;
i. Whether, at the public hearing, there are objections from the surrounding
and affected property owners and whether the objections, if any, can be or have been
resolved;
j. For the medical necessity exception, whether the medical condition is
proven and the requested exception reasonably relates to the medical condition;
k. For the De Minimus exception, whether there is an overriding benefit to
the applicant with no detriment to the surrounding neighbors or the City; and
1. The spirit of The City Code is met.
D. Vote required: appeals; variances; special exceptions. The concurring vote of four
members of the board shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirements, decision, or
determination of an administrative official, or to effect any variation in the application of
this ordinance, or to decide in favor of the applicant on any matter or special exception
upon which it is required to pass or decide under this ordinance.
