A regular meeting of the Friendswood Planning and Zoning Commission
was held on March 28, 1974 at Friendswood City Hall, 109 East Willowick,
Friendswood, Texas. Chairman C. C. Bost presided.

Among the members of the audience were A. J. Harper, Myra Patton,

1. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS
March 21, 1974 - Approved with the following correction:
Page two, last line; Delete the words "because
of lack of discussion before the vote."
2. REZONING �RE Uj ESTS
1974-1 Public Hearing on the rezoning of the land at the
Woodlawn/ corner of Woodlawn and West Heritage was held on
Heritage March 7, 1974. A vote was taken at the March 21,
1974 meeting to recommend the requested rezoning,
but, since the item was not listed on the agenda,
ratification of the vote is necessary at this meeting.
MOTION WAS MADE by Raney, seconded by Spears, that
the Commission recommend approval of the rezoning From
R-1 to C-1 (single-family reisdential to commercial)
of the Hackney property at the corner of Woodlawn and
Heritage, being 380 feet by 630 feet approximately
and being all of that portion of the block bounded by
West Heritage, Woodlawn, W. Edgewood, and S. Friendswood
Drive that is not already zoned as C-1 Commercial.
Attach A discussion followed. A 22 foot easement is shown
# on the request for a building permit. This does not
dedicate the easement to the City as a plat would do.
Therefore the Commission authorized a memo to the
City Manager/ Zoning Administrator/ and Building
Official calling their attention to the necessity of
a utility easement and review before the Planning
Commission acts upon the building permit.
MOTION PASSED unanimously.
FPZC-14-3-28-74 2
Rezoning Requests (continued)
1974-5 A request for rezoning to Specific Use: Oil Well and
Crown -Central related structures has been received from Crown
#5 Central Petroleum Corporation for a four acre site,
the center of which is located 865 feet north of the
south line of the Ware lease and 210 feet east of the
60 foot light company right-of-way, and to be called
Ware #1 well.
MOTION WAS MADE 'by North, seconded by Shore, to call
a public hearing in regard to this request on the
twenty-fifth day of April at 9 P.M.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
1974-6 Although not on the agenda, the Secretary reported that
a request for rezoning to Specific Use: Oil Well and
Crown -Central related Structures has been received from Crown Central
#6 Petroleum Corporation for a four acre site, the well site
of which is located 100 feet north-easterly of the south-
west line of Lot 15 Van Pelt Subdivision, and 330 feet
southeasterly of the north-west line of said Lot 15,
being all a part of Lot 15.
MOTION WAS MADE by North, seconded by Raney, to include
the public hearing in regard to this request at the
same time as the previous request, April 25 th, at 9 P.M.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. BUILDING PERMITS
Colonial Mr. A. J. Harper was present in answer to a request
Coiffures from Zoning Administrator Cline. He apparently was
(8:15) planning to install a parking area at Colonial
Coiffures that would violate the Zoning Ordinance by
allowing cars to back directly into the right -of --way.
He stated, in response to a question, that he planned
to put in crushed rock with stabilizer. He planned to
do this for safety's sake. Recently a car from across
the street backed into a cutomer's car which was
parked parallel in the street.
It was brought out by the Commission that this beauty
shop had been given a variance in order to expand a
non -conforming use. The parking problem should have
been dealt with at that time by either or both the
Board of Adjustment or the Planning Commission, but the
Planning Commission had never seen the request for
the building permit after referral to the Board of
Adjustment.
He was told that he needed permission to install parking.
Fossler commented that the Zoning Ordinance requires
one parking space per 100 square feet of building.
Raney noted that we need an idea put down on paper-.
Chairman Bost informed Mr. Harper that he should sketch
something off on a sheet of paper showing his plans,
with one space per 100 square feet of building.

4. PLANNING CONSULTANT (8=30)
Planning Consultant Bob Atkinson was present to discuss and
attempt to finalize Driveway, Sidewalk, and Parking Lot Standards.
Proposals as received on January 24, 1974 and February 21, 1R74
were discussed and critiqued.
MOTION WAS MADE by North, seconded by Phillips, that Mr. Atkinson
rewrite the proposal, incorporating the suggestions made the
Commission tonight, and then confer with the City Attorney in regard
to making it into an ordinance.
MOTION PASSED unanimously, Bost being absent from the room.
5. SUBDIVISIONS
Longwood Park The City Engineer was unable to approve the
Section III plans presented since it did not include any
(II) drainage plans. The Speretary gave a letter to this
(10415) effect to Engineer Bruce Frenzel and Ken Yowell,
along with instructions fromthe Commission to put
the specifications for streets and utilities, etc.,
into a blue -line drawing.
6. BUILDING PERMITS
Friendswood
Mr. Van Williams and Mr. LaMarr Beatty of the
Volunteer
Volunteer Fire Department were present to present
Fire
a proposed lay -out of the Municipal Site at the
Dept.
Stevenson Memorial Park site. Proposed set -back was
(10..25)
forty feet from front property line. Side parking
allowed only about eight spaces, twelve foot aisle,
only two foot from side property line. Most discussion
centered on these items. Zoning Urdnance requires
one space per 400 square feet, or twenty-two spaces.
Distance from side property line does not leave
enough space for ten foot radius on entrance. Fossler
especially objected to the narrow aisle, being
concerned that one stalled car could stop all traffic.
Mayor Lowe, who was then present, suggested that the
Fire Department plan it so that they had enough room,
since the City Hall plans are not in the immediate
future.
Five of the Commissioner's felt that the minimum
set -back should be sixty feet, Raney would accept
fifty, Bost did not give an opinion. Although the
Highway Department is supposed to have said that they
would not need any more right-of-way when F. M. 518
is widened in that area, the Commission felt that the
risk of their changing their minds in the future was
too great to count on it.
The Fire Department was directed to come back with
another plan showing what they would like to have,
including a sixty foot set -back, twenty -foot deep
parking stalls, eighteen foot aisle, and ten foot
set -back from the side property line.

Building Permits (continued)
Ron's Crispy
Mr. Gawlik presented a colored rendition of the
Fried
planned facade of the Crispy Fried Chicken Building
Chicken
proposed for the corner of West Shadowbend and
South Friendswood Drive. North felt that it was
very nice except for the roof on the fried Chicken
section. Fossler suggested that Mr. Gawlik get
occupants who would approve a front elevation as
the Commission was suggesting. Shore expressed
his misgivings in regard to the color of the roof
on the Crispy Fried Chicken section. Considerable
discussion followed on these points.
MOTION WAS MADE by Shore, seconded by Raney, to
withhold approval until the Commission gets closer
compliance with the Heimsath report in regard to
the roof color and we have more details on the
signs, and completed drawings of the front elevation
showing completed roof lines.
More discussion followed.
Spears MOVED THE PREVIOUS QUESTION.
Vote was taken on the original motion.
MOTION PASSED, 5-0-2. For: Spears, Raney, Shore,
Fossler, North. Against: None. Abstainingi Bost,
Phillips.
Mr. Gawlik asked for a copy of our requirements
and the Heimsath report.
7. SUBDIVISIONS
Fox Meadows Mr. Ted Bogren was present and added to the final
Repla.t linen the requirement that all slabs be at 26.0 Foot
elevation minimum as had been on hte original plat.
MOTION WAS MADE by Spears, seconded by Raney that
the Commission approved the final plat of Fox Meadows
replat.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Heritage Estates Mr. .lames Gartrell was present to request approval
Section Two of the final plat of Heritage Estates, Section Two.
This was mistakenly listed on the agenda as
preliminary approval_. Shore asked if the ten foot
strip on the Kallus property which had been sold to
K allus prior to request for subdivision of the
remainder of the Cook property had been resolved.
North noted that it had not and that the lot is
supposed to have resold.
Bost noted that the ten foot strip had neither been
deeded nor marked on the plat as dedicated on the
Heritage 11 plat. G artrell noted on the plat that
this would be dedicated. A copy of }lerita e Estates,
section One, was brought out at the reques of the
Chairman and it was discovered that the ten foot
FPZC-M-3-28-74
Subdivisions (continued)
strip (along Quaker Drive) had never been dedicated
on this. The consensus was that this should be
caught when section three is presented and not to
hold up Section Two on this account. Mr. Gartrell
was told that the City would need a deed.
MOTION WAS MADE by Phillips, seconded by Spears,
that approval be given to the final plat of
Heritage Estates, Section Two.
MOTION PASSED, 5--1-1. For: Bost, Spears, Fossler,
Phillips, Raney. Against: North, because there
was only one fire hydrant spaced in the middle of
the subdivision. Abstaining: Shore.
8. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Subdivision The Secretary reported that she had informed the
Ordinance City Attorney of our motion made at the last meeting
Violations requesting him to notify the developers of Forest
(12:35) Bend and Wedgewood that since they are in the
Friendswood E`1'J they must comply with our
Subdivision regulations. Mr. Hooks had said that
we were under no legal obligation to notify them -
that it was legally their responsibility to know
the law. It there was a violation, we needed to
be specific. Conveyance of portions of lots would
be a violation, as would the fact that the
subdivisions were not presented to the Friendswood
Planning Commission for approval and were recorded
in Harris County without our signatures. No action
Attach was taken except to direct the Secretary to remind
# the City Manager of our previous memo asking him
to get in touch with people in Harris County.
Slab Height Raney brought up the fact that he thought the City
Attach RE lation had been given guidelines when granting of resident-
# 12:36) ial building permits outside approved subdivisions
had been assumed by the City. He reported that on
Lot #10 in El Dorado and Tract #24 in Windsong
permits had been issued for buildings which were
less than the recommended height above grade, culvert,
or road height. Spears and North confirmed that
height recommendations had been given to the City and
that the Commission had been assured that these
recommendations were being adhered to. A memo will
Attach be sent to the Manager and Council members concerning
# this.
9. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
