Call to order:

3.
None.
Discussion regarding the Conceptual Plan of the amended plat of Wedgewood
Village, Lot 8 located off Wandering Trail.
Mr. Ron Ritter, the owner of Lot 8, addressed the Commission. His home was
flooded in June and he would like to re-build but the set back when the home was
built does not meet current ordinance requirements. He would like to amend his
lot to include a reserve that he owns. This would allow him more leeway in the
placement of the house as far as meeting current set back requirements. His
neighbors on either side may also be interested in amending their lot lines.
Commissioner Frankovich was concerned that by amending the lots and removing
' lot lines, some reserves on the plat would be 'land locked'.
Commissioner Clark also noted that city ordinances allow the rebuilding of
damaged homes on sub-standard lots.
Mr. Ritter will speak with his neighbors to find out if they are interesting in
amending their lots and sharing the cost of the amended plat.
Consideration and possible action regarding the Preliminary Plat of
Friendswood Lakes, Section Two.
Motion: Mc Veigh -to approve with staff comments

for the overall development of Frie ndswood Lakes. He confirmed for

driveway. Mr. Gardner noted that there was a 25 foot set back from Friendswood
Lakes Blvd. R.O.W. which should provide plenty of visibility.

explained that the pipeline was located in the median of Friendswood Lakes Blvd.
Chai rman Burke asked if CCDD note #6 regarding landscaping in side lot
drainage or detention easements, had been a requirement from the Drainage
District. Mr. Gardner said it had. Chairman Burke stated he would like to pursue
