1. CALLING OF HEARING
Motion was made to call a hearing for March 21 at 8 P.M. regarding
the rezoning of the 10.5 acres and the 2.0 acres. Fossler noted that
the Zoning Ordinance permitted public parks in R-1 Single-family
residential zones and since R-1 uses are permitted in all other
districts, he questioned the need to rezone the 10.5 acres for a
public park. The other members of the Commission concurred.
MOTION WAS MADE by Spears, seconded by Fossler that a hearing be
called for March 21, 1974 at 8 P.M. to consider the rezoning of a
two acre tract out of the 12.5 acres recently acquired by the City
of Friendswood at the intersection of South Friendswood Drive and
Winding Way from C-1 Commercial to Specific Use: City Government
Administration, Fire, Ambulance, and Police Facilities.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY, 5-0, Raney being absent.
2. NATIONAL INVESTORS EXPANSION
Raney arrived. Mr. Dave Wilson, architect, and Mr. Ray Price,
property manager for National Investors were present to present
a proposal for the expansion and beautification of the Heritage
facade of the Captain's Corner shopping center. Three copies of the
proposal were presented to the Commission. Considerable discussion
followed. Fossler brought up the deplorable condition of the asphalt
paving and was assured that the maintenance man for National Investors
was in the process of taping bids for repair of the asphalt. It was
agreed that the Board of Adjustment would have to grant a variance for
the moving of the wall nearer to the street, but that the Planning
Commission could give the Board a recommendation.

(National Investors - continued)
MOTION WAS MADE by Spears, seconded by Raney, that the Commission
recommend to the Board of Adjustment approval be given to the
extenrsion of the Weiners Department store as shown in the sketch
presented with the restrictions as follows:
(1) A flat mansard is to extend the entire length of the
building on the Heritage side.
(2) A two root minimum of black topis to be removed inside the
property line.
(3) The hedge is to be replanted.
(4) A concrete six-inch curb is to be installed between the
asphalt and the hedge.
(5) Bicycle racks and plantings are to be installed in the
mini. -mall.
(6) The middle entrance on the Heritage side is to be aligned
with the mall.
MOTION TO AMEND was made by Shore, seconded by North, by eliminating
the item referring to the hedge.
Shore felt that this item was already taken care of through previous
actions of the Commission and City Council.
MOTION TO AMEND PASSED unanimously.
MAIN MOTION (minus item #3) PASSED, 5--1, Shore dissenting because
he felt that allowing the additional building within six feet of
the property line on Heritage compounded an existing problem.
Bost requested that the utility department (Ken Toon) be
contacted in regard to the location of the waterline prior to
installation of the hedge. North had no objection to this, but
felt that the decision should be brought back to the Commission,
since the Commission had gone through this location process once
before. Mr. Wilson agreed to check with Mr. Toon and come back
before the Commission.
3. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned
at 9:05 P.M. A workshop with Clyde Raney discussion pipelines and
Bob Atkinson, Planning Consultant followed.
