MR. SKIDM)RE RE: Falcon Ridge Subdivision
Mr. Skidmore requested the following be part of the Pl anning and Zoning Ccmnission minutes.
My name is Gerald Skidmore and I am president of the Falcon Ridge Ccrrmunity Association. We currently have about 75 haneowner families and this will very soon increase to 130 fa milies, when Brighton Builders canplete its project.
We continue to hear rurrors about Falcon Ridge Phase '.I\,,D, Phase Three, and Phase Four. The Board of Directors of the Falcon Ridge Haneowners Association has sane very real concerns about the future of our subdivision. As you know, there had been little construction in Falcon Ridge fran 1986 until that which was recently begun by Brighton Builders. At this time 25 hanes are being built with plans for 30 rrore and this has increased traffic into and out-of our neighborhcxxl. There is only one entrance into the subdivision and this is at the intersection of Falcon Ridge Boulevard and F.M. 528. There is no signal light at the entrance.
The Falcon Ridge haneowners are not opposed to new construction, but we feel that our concerns must be addressed before any building beyond Falcon Ridge, Phase one, begins.
1.With only 60-65 families Falcon Ridge, traffic was not a majorproblem, hONever, the wait-time to exit the subdivision toward Alvin can be as long as 5 minutes.at certain times (7:00-8:00 and 5:00-6:00 p.m.). We constantly have problems with speeding on Falcon Ridge Boulevard and running of stop signs in the subdivision. With 130 famil ies, these problems can only get worse. If the nurored Phase 'Two, Phase Three and Phase Four sections of Falcon Ridge are developed, then Falcon Ridge Boulevard could not handle the traffic that would exist, in our opinion.
2.We are concerned about what M:>uld happen in emergencysituations, such as the 1979 flood, the recent gas line explosion of F.M. 528, an impending hurricane, or a needed evacuation of Friendswood for any reason. How would we get out of the Subdivision with all the tr affic that would already be on F.M. 528?
3.We know that you on the Cannission, the Ma yor, City Council,and City Manager share these concerns.

Reccrrmendations:
l.As soon as possible a signal light should be installed at F.M.528 and Falcon Ridge Boulevard.
2.After the canpletion of Falcon Ridge, Phase One and prior toany further construction in or adjoining our subdivision, another street should be built on the back side of Falcon Ridge and preferably join F.M. 518 and F.M. 528 and the extension of Falcon Ridge Boulevard.
Thank you for hearing our concerns. Please notify us and place us on your agenda whenever the Falcon Ridge Subdivision is discussed.
