LAURELFIELD -PRELIMINARY PLAT
MOTION CARRIED
Memo -Police Department -Lt. Russell Williams -July 20, 1988
Upon review of this plat of Laurelfield, I have only one recommendation:
1)That there not be two (2) streets with thesame first name and only different secondnames. ie; Laurelfiel d Drive and Laurelfield Court
Suggested name for Laurelfield Court:a)Laurelway Court orb)Laurelview Court
Memo -Fi re Marshal -Vance Riley -August 2, 1988
I have reviewed the final plat of Laurelfield submitted to my office, I heartily endorse the concept of the City of Friendswood accepting East Castlewood and Quaker Bend as dedicated public streets with improvements to be made at a-later date. I have corrective suggestions to the fire hydrant layout on the utilities map in the office of the Community Development Director. These corrections would serve t'he Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department.
Memo -Clear Creek Drainage District -August 4, 1988
At the Regular Meeting of The Cle ar Creek Drainage District the Board of Supervisors reviewed the plats of the proposed subject subdivision. A Preliminary approval was given.

Memo -Office of City Secretary -Mayor Schrader -August 3, 1988
I understand that whether the City has ever accepted Quaker Bend Drive as a city street has been a matter of discussion for several years. There is no record in the official City records that the street has ever been accepted. At the City Council meeting Monday, August 8, 1988, City Council will consider the acceptance of Quaker Bend Drive as a City street.
Memo -To: City Manager -From: Duane Hengst-Acceptance for Maintenance of Quaker Bend Drive July 19, 1988
There currently exists a controversy regarding the status of Quaker Bend Drive as an accepted City street. Records will show that the right-of-way for Quaker Bend Drive has·been deeded to the City. However, no evidence exists showing it has been accepted for maintenance. In as much as we have performed maintenance work on a street, the City attorney has stated that it then becomes an accepted City street. In light of the work that City crews have previously performed on Quaker Bend Drive, I am recommending the acceptance for maintenance of Quaker Bend Drive .
Although acceptance of Quaker Bend Drive will set a precedent for the future, I believe the development of the proposed Laurelfield Subdivision will be facilitated, and end the controversy regar ding Quaker Bend Drive. In conjunction with this action, we will establish a fire hydrant at the corner of Quaker Bend Drive and the proposed Laurelfield Drive. A hydrant at this location will significantly increase the level of fire protection for the existing residents.
