RR-1975-6
• 'I 'J l I .� l r I /1 .: I, 2.SUBDIVISIONS
An application has been made by the Friendswood Church of Christ for a specific Use permit for the purpose of operating a Private/School ·Day Care Center at 301 Leisure Lane, which is described as Lot One of Leisure Lane Subdivision.
MOTION WAS MADE by Raney, seconded by Tirado, to call a public hearing for June t 5, 1975, at 8 P.M. at the Friendswood City Hall for the purpose of considering the issuance of a Specific Use Permit to the Friendswood Church of Christ to operate a Private School/DayiCa�e Center on Lot One of Leisure Lane Subdivision.
Motion passed unanimously.
Renwick Replat Raney presented a sketch for discussion concerning a replat proposal for Renwick Subdivision. Since its original approval, the developers of the subdivision have experienced serious financia l problems and the City of Friendswood City Council has approved the purchase of a portion of the subdivision for use as a park. The original street is to be abandoned and a new access made by the City. This will necessitate vacation of the original plat and a replat. Since the original plat was developed, however, lot widths and area have been increased in the subdivision requirements. Present requirements stipulate a minimum lot width of 120 feet on an open ditch street, although the lots as platted are only 75 feet wide.
Raney reported that lots across the street are only sixty five feet wide. If the lots remaining on Mary Ann were allowed to seventy five feet wide, a total of ten 75 foot lots and two 80 foot lots would be created. If ninety foot lots were required, ten lots would be created. The City paid $33,260 for the portion of the subdivision which it purchased.
FPZC-M-5-15-75 2
Although no official action was taken, the consensus of the Commission was that a variance should be granted to the subdivision from the 120 foot requirement and that 75 foot lots would be permitted, since other lots in the area are all sma 11 lots. The corner lot on Stadrlum Lane should be 80 feet wide, however, and side set-backs on both Stadium Lane and the access road to the park should be 25 feet.
