Minutes No:minutes were available. 2. Building Permits MEMBERS ABSENT Kenneth Fossler Ed Zeitler, Council Rep. Car Wash Mr. Gilbert Goerig and Mr. Jimmy Coleman were present to present plans for a proposed car wash planned for the area between the Tex Gas station and the Stop and Go center. Discussion of set -backs, traffic flow, and structural design followed. Planned color is burnt orange and brown. There is a fence on the back of the property, according to Mr. Goerig, which may be as much as five feet on their property. It is not "solid in nature" as required by our Commercial Regulations, however, and Mr. Goerig agreed that a six foot fence, solid -in -nature, and sight pleasing would be constructed to separate his commercial area from the adjoining residential lots. The building as presently designed does not meet the design load requirements for live and wind loads. Also, the entrance driveway was only thirty feet wide. Mr. Goerig will return, possibly next meeting with revised plans to meet the required 20-25 psf design loads and with the entrance drive widened to 35 feet. 3. Planning Consultant Comprehensive Plan Bob Atkinson was present for discussion of the proposed Comprehensive Plan revision. The Plan as modified by the Commission was discussed andevaluated by Mr. Atkinson. Some further modifications were made. He will return with FPZC--M-6-20-74 2 Planning Consultant (continued) a map of the Comprehensive Plan as modified. Circulation plans were also discussed. Of particular concern was the need for the extension of Quaker's Drive into F. M. 2351, and the connection between Whispering Pines arterial and its extension south and west of F. M. 518. 4. Information Reports Curb Cut Ordinance Spears reported that City Attorney Olsen had completed the Curb Cut Ordinance and will have it posted to be read at the next Council meeting. C-1 District Ordinance Spears reported that City Attorney Olsen is working on the C-1 District regulations, but needs more parking lot data. Raney is working on this data. Bob Atkinson suggested that it be required that all drainage must be kept on -site, and that no over property line drainage be allowed. F.M. 5258 Water Supply Tirado reported that he will be getting with Water and Sewer Superintendent Toon in regard to recommendations for extending the Sun Meadow water system. Flood Insurance Shore expressed his concern that the Commission may have abdicated its responsibility in not determining flood height levels in undelineated areas as required by the Flood Insurance Ordinance. This has been turned over to the City Manager. Mr. Shore also reported that a letter had been sent to Paul Gillette, local representative for Flood Insurance, with a copy to Mr. Bernstein, head of HUD Flood Insurance, inquiring about and expressing a desire to have the remainder of Friendswood studied and 100-year flood heights set. Curb cuts - FM 518 North reported that observation of the driveways leading into the curb cuts on new sections of F.M. 518 does not support the premise that curb cuts are being planned with ten foot minimum radii, as was our understanding. North was instructed to contact Mr. Schultz, of the highway department, again and informhim of this fact and ask what can.be done to correct it. Amoco Pipeline: Coward Creek Crossing Raney reported that the Drainage District had approved an underground crossing of Coward's Creek in the Lori Woods, Imperial Gardens area. The City Council felt that this should be a City of Friendswood Decision and had referred it to the Planning Commission. Since this question had not been listed on the agenda, no decision could be reached this evening, however. Phillips suggested that interested citizens would come . before the Commission next week and express themselves. Raney will check to see if Amoco is committed. If not, Presidents of the Civic Clubs will be notified and this 3 FPZC-M-6--20-74 Amoco Pipeline (continued) will be put on next week's agenda. Mustang Meadows North reported that representatives for and Mrs. Kirkland had appeared before Council at last Monday's meeting to ask why she had been refused a building permit by the Planning Commission. City Attorney Olsen explained that this would have been a violation of VCST 974a regarding the subdivision of land and would also have been in violation of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. It was explained that it would unlawful for the City to serve any such land with public utilities owned by the City. The land involved is apparently Lots 14 and 15 of the proposed Mustang Meadows Subdivision as described by metes and bounds. Heritage III The Secretary reported that she had heard no more from Mr. Gartrell in regard to Heritage Estates, Section III, since he had requested to be on the agenda last week, and had stated that he would have the plans in so he could be on the agenda this week. Fire Station Forms are in place and some plumbing has been installed for the new Fire Station. Some confusion over which were the final plans has caused a delay in pouring the slab until next week, however. 5.
