Mr. J. E. Nowlin, president of the Quaker's Landing Civic Improvement A�sociation, presented two petitions containing 72 signatures (total) of residents of Quaker's Landing supporting (1) the proposed rezoning of the area bounded by 1
Clearview Avenue, Quaker Drive, Skyview, and Salem Square Apartments to a lower density, and (2) the proposed rezoning of the area bounded by F. M. 518, Castlewood, and Salem Square (new section) to lower density.
Mr. Tery Finigan, representing Coldwell Bankers, appeared before the Commission to discuss what was wrong with the Center, what was needed to upgrade it, andhow to solve the problem. Coldwell Banker now has an agreement with and it working with Fred Cu rt is of Nati ona 1 I nv·es tors.
Hedge. The hedge was discussed. The Secretary gave Mr. Finigan a copy of the maintenance agreement which Mr. Curtis had signed for National Investors.
Parking Lot. Condition of the parking lot is a problem. Raney noted that the aspha lt had been laid over the property lines and into the street right-of-way and that the parking lot was breaking down. Finigan stated that an emergency budget had been prepared for this and that they were looking over the parking lot and the back of the building.
Weiner's/Mansard Roof. Raney noted that a condition of the expansion of the exterior wall for the Weiner's occupancy was that a mansard be installed in the 11 rear 11 of the center facing West Heritage Drive. Finigan stated that they were not planning to move the exterior walls for Weiner's at this time, but were planning for an interior parameter expansions to accomodate WEiner's.
Raney reported that there was no office space shown in the expanded City Hall for the Commission, although he remembers that it was discussed.
Raney suggested that we would possibly need an ordinance to enforce the grid system of house numbering. Friendswood is in an unusual situation in that most cities have had a system for many years and people accept the number assigned. The Secretary has not yet sent the memos regarding Windsong.
Bob Atkinson has been out of town, so no contact was able to be made by Raney.
Raney reported that the Builder's Committee met regarding the requirement to break out the curb and saw-cut the street. This is extremely expensive and the ordinance is conflicting. The Committee (Jerry Phillips, Don Davis, Raney, and Malcolm Collins) have worked out a more acceptable method.

Clear Creek Flood Management
6.ADJOURNMENT.
3 FPZC-M-5-8-75
Mayor Lowe arrived to report that he had met with the Harris County Task Force and was not encouraged by the response from Mr. Frank Smith and Mrs. Terry Hershey. Mrs. Hershey wants to know what Friendswood is doing about Flood Plain Management, what ordinances we have, and what specificall{'we are doing.Lowe asked North to contact Mrs. Hershey at# Long Lane, --� Houston 77024, 681-1816, and give her this information.
Frank Smith feels that if he votes to save land from the flood plain that people will build on it. He does not want to vote to take any,land· out of the flood plain. Irma Hooks and Mike Noblet agree with Mayor Lowe that the large ditches in Harris County are increasing the flooding in Friendswood.
Mayor Lowe has discussed this with County Judge Ray Holbrook today and asked him to set up a meeting. No one in Friendswood was told abou the large ditch the Houston Lighting and Power is digging which wi 11 timpty into Turkey Creek and then into Clear Creek. Lowe wants plans on and a public hearing regarding any large ditches emptying into Clear Creek. Perhaps the Texas Water Development Board would be involved.
� There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
