STERLINGWOOD -FINAL PLAT PRESENTATION

located between Merriwood and F.M. 518, to be subdivided into
67 lots out of a 25,7538 acre tract. Commissioner Holt asked
Mr. Bogren if the final deed restrictions were ready to be
submitted. Attorney Tom Lay representing the property owner
told the group he has prepared the draft and they were being
reviewed by the property owner. Page 4 (3.(d) ) of the
subdivision ordinance addresses covenants to be presented
with the preliminary plat and Page 5 (C.(2) ) addresses the
requirements for final plat approval. Mr. Bogren requested
to table Sterlingwood in order for him to locate a copy of
the deed restrictions and return as a later agenda item tonight.
FRIENDSWOOD CENTER - F.M. 518 AND CLEARVIFW'
Mr. Zapalac presented a drawing for a strip center to be located
on Clearview and F.M. 518 for review by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on landscaping and parking requirements. The drawing
presented located the trees on the property and he feels very few

trees will be removed. Mr. Zapalac also told the Commission
he moved the entrance on Clearview about 35' from the corner
of F.M. 518 as had been discussed with the Commission at their
April 3, 1986 meeting.
The Commission requested sidewalks be placed down both sides
of the project and that a letter be filed with the City stating
sidewalks will be placed along Clearview and F.M. 518.
MOTION: (BALLARD) To give pre app approval of
the Friendswood Center to be

MOTION CARRIED
GREENBRIAR AND BUCKINGHAM _ 12 LOTS
Mr. Melcer presented a drawing for a proposed subdivision being
6.713 acres subdivided into 12 lots. Mr. Melcer's home is exist-
ing and is shown on the drawing.
Mr. Melcer was advised by the City Engineer that at the present
time the sewer line capacity in that area (Greenbrier) is over
capacity and would require the installation of a lift station to
give access to the new service line in Briarmeadow. City Manager
Jim Morgan addressed the Commission saying the project was reviewed
by the City Engineer and was on City Council's agenda for action
April 14, 1986 and they were unable to take action and will be
addressed at the April 28, 1986 Council Meeting.
Mr. Morgan sent the following letter to the Mayor and City
Council:
April 10, 1986
Request for Sanitary Sewer Service
I recently approached by Mr. Harry Melcer, who lives on
Greenbriar concerning the possibility of acquiring sanitary
sewer service to a proposed 6.713 acre subdivision consisting
of 12 lots.
At the time Regency Estates was subdivided the sewer line was
extended across Greenbriar, at which point Mr. Melcer then
extended the line to his property. The collector line now has
only limited capacity and does not have adequate capacity to
handle the proposed subdivision. You will recall that this was
the reason for denial of the request of Dr. Jones, et al.

It appears that the only logical service will be for Mr. Melcer
to install a lift station to force the sewage to the new line
recently installed on Briarmeadow. This has been suggested to
Mr. Melcer, but he is appealing that decision.
The Commission told Mr. Melcer they are unable to take any action
until the City Council resolves the sewer service for use to the
proposed subdivision.
LAUREL FIELD - PROPOSED SUBDIVISION
Laurel Field is a proposed subdivision being 26.6 acres subdivided
into 57 lots located on F.M. 2351 and Sunset. Laurel Field was
first presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission April 3, 1986.
At that time it was decided a memo would be sent to the City Council,
Fire Department and the Police Department for input. The Commission
has received input from the Fire and Police and is to be on the
Council agenda April 28, 1986.
The Commission advised Mr. Bogren they would forward him all input
as received on the proposedsubdivision of Laurel Field,

April 17, 1986
CARMEL VILLAGE AND MISSION ESTATES/SAN JOA UIN
Ted Bogren presented 6 replats of the following:
Mission Estates Subdivision Section Four - Partial replat of
Mission Estates Subdivision Phase One, Two, Three, and Four
14 LOTS
Carmel Village Subdivision Section One
76 Lots
Carmel Village Subdivision Section 2 - Partial replat of San
Joaquin Estates Section Four
24 Lots

Mission Estates Subdivision Phase One, Two, Three, and Four
90 Lots
Mission Estates Subdivision Section One - Partial replat of
Mission Estates Subdivision Phase One, Two, Three, and Four
57 Lots
Mission Estates Subdivision Estates Section Two - Partial replat
of Mission Estates Subdivision Phase One, Two, Three, and Four
78 Lots
Commissioner Holt addressed the group saying the Citv has an
ordinance allowing metes and bounds subdividing (E-85-2) of the
above subdivisions. City Attorney Olson said that was an untrue
statement in his opinion but they did not need to discuss that
at this point. Attorney Olson went on to say the developers had
platted the above subdivisions and for several reasons there was
a desire to replat.
Attorney Olson stated (SFR) Single Family Residential in this
particular district requires a Specific Use Permit under the
new zoning ordinance which City Council adopted. After negotiations
with Dr. Jones and Mr. O'Farrell, the property owners, an ordinance
was established. The ordinance reflects the actual lot sizes and
the owners are replatting at the request of the City. John Olson
went on to say the replat basically changes nothing as far as
streets and boundaries. The idea is to insure that the replat of
the lots complies with the Specific Use. Ordinance E-85-2. In his
opinion this is the only thing pertinant to the consideration of
the approval of the above listed replats. Mr.Olson wants to say
publicly and before the Commission he feels that this is the
proper way to cumulate all the things that have come together in one
final deal and they are doing it at the City's request.

MOTION: (CRESS)
SECOND: (BEETH)
To give preliminary approval on
the 6 replats submitted contingent
on a letter from the City Manager
that the plats presented are an
accurate representation of the metes
and bounds plats that the City has
been controlling for the development
and complies with ordinance E-85-2.
VOTE: FOR: Holt, Baker, Beeth and Cress
ABSTAINED: Ballard and Todd
MOTION CARRIED
MR. AND MRS. NAYLOR - DID NOT ADDRESS THE CO',••'1MISSION
The following comments were presented to the Commission by
City Attorney John Olson.
Mr. and Mrs. Naylor own one lot (16) in Heritage Estates a
platted subdivision, they also own 4.5 acres behind Heritage
Estates. The Naylor's would like to build a home on the 4.5
acre tract using lot 16 of Heritage Estates as their ingress -
egress to the proposed home. City Attorney John Olson advised
the Naylor's they can apply for a building permit, that this
was not a Planning and Zoning Commission decision. If denied
a building permit they can appeal to the Zoning Board of
Adjustments or Court, but it is not a subdivision item. Mr.
Olson told City Manager Jim Morgan to flag the application
for a building permit and make sure it will not violate the
deed restrictions of Heritage Estates because that could be
the issue. The Homeowners of Heritage Estates Subdivision
have already determined -in their own mind it is in violation
of the deed restrictions and if the permit is issued, Mr. Morgan
needs to notify the homeowners so they can take action.
PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing has been called for May 5, 1986 on the proposed
changes to the Zoning Ordinance,
Councilman Prihoda addressed the group saying that there are
three (3) changes to be considered at the May 5, 1986 public
hearing. He told the Commission two (2) of the items have
already been reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The 3rd proposed change is Councilman Jordan's recommendation
regarding grand Openings for new businesses. A hair salon
located on F.M. 528 changed ownerships within 6 months after
opening and the new owner could not under the present ordinance
have a grand opening.
Page 6
April 17, 1986
The proposed change is to read that under new ownership more than
one grand opening can be held within the first year.
ORDINANCE NOT. T86-8 PIPELINE EASEMENT
Commissioner Holt addressed ordinance T86-8 amending the
Friendswood City Code by striking therefrom the third
paragraph of Section 19-11 thereof and substituting therefor
a new third paragraph of Section 19-11; Providing minimu,a building
setbacks of ten (10) feet from any pipeline easement; and providing
a penalty of an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200)
for each day of violation of any provision thereof.
Commissioner Holt has concern about the revision and is going
to forward prior information of a previous study taken in the
70's for review by City Council.
MEMOS
The Planning and zoning Commission sent a memo'to the City
Manager April 4, 1986, requesting information on the City's
plan for maintaining and updating the computerized mapping
system.
The Commission received a copy of a memo sent to the City
Manager with the following information:
To: City Manager
April 9, 1986
From: Duane M. Hengst - Engineering Assistant
In response to the P&Z Commission's inquiry into the City's
mapping schedule Z submit the following: I am planning on
updating the system at 6 month intervals and having new maps
printed every 12 months. In order to keep current on street
changes I plan to use subdivision plats which are approved and
recorded during each update period. Areas being rezoned will
be obtained through Ruth Henry. As an alternative the P&Z
Commission could send my office formal notice of any approved
zoning changes.
There are no immediate plans to put the water and sewer lines
on the mapping system, although it is possible. I would estimate
the cost for doing so to be a minimum of_.$5,000. To include
a specific designation for Red Flag Subdivisions is a relatively
simple -mat -ter -and could be implemented rather easily. If you hav,
any questions, please advise.

April 17, 1986
The Commission feels the water and sewer maps have been
previously done and the information needs to be forwarded
to the City Manager and City Council and obtain funding
to place the information in the computerized maping
system,
The meeting was adjourned.
