SECOND: (BEGGS) VOTE: FOR: Baker, Beeth, Beggs and Ballard AGAINST: Holt, Cress and Todd MOTION CARRIED REPLAT OF A PORTION OF LOT 6, BLOCK 4 FRIENDSWOOD SUBDIVISION A . replat of a portion of lot 6, block 4, Friendswood Subdivision located on F.M. 518 and Clearview was presented to the Planning and zoning Commission. The Commission received the following letter from Malcolm Collins City Engineer: Memo: HF-043 RE: Replat Portion Lot 6 We have reviewed the replat of a Portion of Lot 6, Block 4, Friendswood Subdivision and find the following items need revision: 1. The plat shows a right-of-way width just northeast of this area on Clearview of 55'+ or - Then the right-of-way jogs to a 55.1' width in front of the property being platted. This is inconsistent with our norman good planning procedures, and even though it shows a 10' utility easement along the front, I do not believe this is acceptable. Therefore, the plat should show a 10' dedication for street right-of-way along Clearview. This would change the side dimensions of the two tracts to 225.33', and likewise the acreage of each one. 2. The ordinance calls for a 20' radius at the property line intersection at Clearview and F.M. 518. I would be agreeable to suspending this with the 10' dedication and the fact that the street paving already exists, if the P&Z is so inclined. Page 3 June 19, 1986 After review of the site plan of lot 6 block 4 of the Friendswood Subdivision the Commission feels the streets of F.M. 518 and Clear - view have already been built and the improvements are in,so the following motion was made' MOTION: (BEETH) To gave final approval and recommendation to City Council on the site plan presented and not accep-ting the recommendation of the City Engineer, Malcolm Collins.
