Article 3
OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEVELOPER
3.01. Fire station and library sites.
a. The Developer agrees to donate to the City 1.3 acres and two acres of land,
respectively, for the purpose of construction and operation of a City fire station and
a City or County public library. The location of such sites shall be consistent with the
Plan of Development, The exact location of such sites shall be approved by the City
and shall be donated to the City at the time of the platting of the property adjacent to
the sites. All utilities shall be provided at the property line of each site at no cost to
the City. The City agrees to use its best efforts to cause such facilities to be
constructed on the donated sites. The fire station site shall be eligible for use to serve
the District in accordance with the fire plan described in Section 4.01 of the SPA.
Any agreement for the use of the City fire station and library with a third party shall
267262V2 Page 2 of 10
terminate upon annexation of the District in which it is located, unless the City agrees
otherwise.
b. The conveyances shall provide that (i) in the event the land is used for any purpose
other than the specified purpose, without the written consent of the Developer, such
site will revert to the Developer; and (ii) the Developer may make temporary use of
the land prior to the City's construction of the fire station and library improvements,
so long as the Developer vacates the land with all improvements within 60 days of
receipt of notice from the City of its intention to commence construction thereon.
Prior to the construction of any temporary improvements by the Developer, the
Developer shall notify the City, and the City shall have the right to approve such
improvements in advance.
3.02. Park Dedication Ordinance The Developer agrees to dedicate to the City a 19.4 -acre
park as shown on the Plan of Development, at the time of platting of the surrounding land. In
addition, the Developer shall pay $78.00 dollars per lot at the time the plat is recorded. Developer
shall have no other park land dedication requirements.
3.03 Street construction The Developer agrees to comply with the minimum road design
standards in the City's Subdivision Ordinance as amended and approved by City Council on July
11, 1983, and the thoroughfare plan shown on the Plan of Development, except to the extent that the
standards for road construction are inconsistent with the Plan of Development. The City agrees to
use its best efforts to cause such future thoroughfare construction in the traffic shed to comply with
the minimum design standards of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the Developer shall provide
a contribution for road construction (the "Developer's Road Contribution toward the construction
of portions of the County Road 58 outside the Property, as detailed below.
a. County Road 58 County Road 58 will be planned as a major thoroughfare
(120 -foot right -of -way) as detailed in the Plan of Development. The Developer shall be
responsible for the construction of a four -lane boulevard section within the Property as
shown on figure 5 of the Plan of Development, and for a pro -rata share of a secondary
thoroughfare outside the Property. The majority of County Road 58, within the ETJ, will be
widened and constructed as development occurs adjacent to it under the City's Subdivision
Ordinance. A portion of County Road 58, from County Road 48 west for approximately
2,560 feet (the "CR58 Segment has already been developed with low- density housing and
other similar uses that did not give rise to a requirement that a developer fund improvements
to the CR58 Segment, and therefore future improvements thereto will not likely be funded
by anyone under the Subdivision Ordinance; as a result, the CR58 Segment will need to be
widened through the joint effort of the City, Brazoria County, and future development within
the traffic shed. According to that certain traffic study carried out by Walter P. Moore, dated
June 14, 2000, development of the Property will contribute 38 percent of the forecast traffic
on the CR58 Segment. Subject to the contribution of other developers, and the timing of
contributions described in Subsections (b) and (c), below, the Developer will pay to the City
such percentage of the estimated construction costs of the CR58 Segment to be used for such
purpose. The Developer's Road Contribution payment shall not exceed $233,490.
267262v2 Page 3 of 10
b. Timing of contribution The Developer's Road Contribution shall be phased
to coincide with the development of the Property. The total amount of the Developer's Road
Contribution shall be divided by the number of lots anticipated to be provided on the
Property in accordance with the Plan of Development, and in connection with the recording
of a plat within the Property, the Developer will deposit with the City the per -lot amount as
determined above, multiplied by the number of lots platted. The (Developer's Road
Contribution obligations with respect to platted Property shall terminate upon payment to the
City.
C. Collection of funds from other developers The parties understand that the
City's Development Ordinance requires other developers to construct County Road 58
within or adjacent to their developments, in the same manner as the Developer will be
required to construct County Road 58 within the Property. The City will require other
developers to contribute to the CR58 Segment in accordance with applicable City
development ordinances, and will credit the Developer's Road Contribution by the amount
of such contributions, including the refund of any amounts already paid by the Developer
with respect to applicable portions of the CR58 Segment.
d. Construction costs attributable to the Developer Construction costs under
this Section means costs associated with the actual construction costs, and engineering fees
and expenses directly relating to the CR58 Segment, but shall not include right of way, costs
of City financing, or other costs not directly related to the CR58 Segment.
e. City construction of alternate street design If the City determines that the
traffic requirements of County Road 58 may be satisfied by a different, less costly design,
and wishes to make use of the Developer's Road Contributions to construct such an alternate
roadway section, the City shall notify the Developer and may do so without Developer's
written consent. In such event, Developer's thoroughfare design standards within the
Property shall be modified to match the City's revised plan, and the Developer's Road
Contribution shall be decreased to an amount consistent with the revised thoroughfare
design.
f. Separate accounting The City agrees to invest the Developer's Road
Contributions in interest- bearing accounts, and to account for all principal and interest
thereon, secured in the same manner and at the same interest rate that the City invests other
City funds.
g. Final accounting Upon completion of the CR58 Segment, or upon the
occurrence of an event described herein such that the Developer is entitled to a return of all
or a part of the Developer's Road Contributions, the City shall prepare a final accounting of
funds advanced by the Developer, the use of such funds, and the earnings thereon. Within
30 days of the completion of the accounting, any unused funds or earnings shall be returned
to the Developer.
h. County construction of alternate thoroughfare design, Because the subject
portion of CR58 is not currently located within the City, it is possible that Brazoria County
may wish to construct the CR58 improvements before the City does so. If, prior to the City
267262v2 Page 4 of 10
improving CR58 east of the Property,. Brazoria County elects to improve CR58 east of the
Property as provided in the Comprehensive Plan, or to an alternate design standard from the
design in the Comprehensive Plan, and such improvement will result in CR58 being
improved to a minimum four -lane rural asphalt section road the City will make available to
the County (the Developer's Road Contribution) on the same pro -rata share basis. In such
event, the thoroughfare so constructed shall be considered to have complied with the
Developer's financial obligations under this Section, and all provisions hereof relating to the
City shall be construed to refer to Brazoria County.
3.04. Cost reimbursement The Developer shall reimburse the City for professional
consulting fees reasonably incurred by the City in connection with the review and approval of this
Agreement and the Strategic Partnership Agreement. Such cost shall be reimbursed within 30 days
of notice thereof by the City, accompanied by copies of invoices therefor and appropriate backup
documentation.
3.05. City gateway locations The Developer agrees to make available to the City, at no
cost, two locations along State Highway 6 (500 square foot minimum each) for City gateway sign
locations. Such sites shall be mutually approved by the parties. The Developer shall have no
funding obligation with respect to the gateway signs themselves, but shall cooperate to maintain their
visibility.
3.06. Conforming City actions The obligations of the Developer with respect to Sections
3.01, 3.02, 3.03, and Article 4 are conditioned upon the adoption of one or more ordinances by the
City that will allow the provisions of the Plan of Development to prevail over applicable City
provisions of the City's Subdivision Code, infrastructure design criteria, Land Use and Urban Design
Code, flood plain ordinance, and other applicable City codes and regulations to the extent of a
specific conflict.
Article 4
LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COVENANTS
4.01. City regulations applicable The Developer agrees that, subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan of Development, it will abide by the terms of the City Subdivision
Ordinance, infrastructure design criteria, the City Building Code, Land Use and Urban Design Code,
and Flood Plain Ordinance, (collectively, the "Regulations notwithstanding the fact that some or
all of such regulations would not otherwise apply to the Property located outside the City. Plans and

time the Developer records a subdivision plat for any tract of land in the Property, and prior to the
sale or conveyance of any land within the Property, it will record restrictive covenants on such land
requiring all subsequent grantees to abide by the Regulations in the same manner, and providing that
the City is a third party beneficiary to such covenants. Such covenants will be provided to the City
Manager for review and comment at least ten days prior to recording thereof.

PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
This Plan of Development is an important opportunity for the City of Pearland to participate
in the strategic planning of a major master planned community within the City's E.T.J. This Plan
of Development is intended to align elements of the Comprehensive Plan with the goals and
objectives of a major master planned development at the southern gateway to Pearland. The quality
and cohesiveness of this development should set a standard of the type of development the City
desires to promote in the far southwest quadrant of the City's ETJ.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is a proposed master- planned community of approximately 922 acres, located
in the far southwest quadrant of Pearland's ETJ. The community will consist of residential, civic,
and commercial uses; including facilities such as a school, church, day care, library, fire station,
parks, lakes and trails and significant open space.
The Development Agreement and this Plan of Development will establish a comprehensive
land use plan to guide development within the project. Figure 1 shows the location of the
development.
II. CURRENT LAND USE
The Property is located in Brazoria County, at the far southwest quadrant of the City of
Pearland's ETJ and is bounded by S.H. 6 and the City of Iowa Colony on the south, the Fort Bend
County line on the west, C.R. 564 (Sycamore St.) on the north, miscellaneous individual property
owners along the east and is bisected by C.R.58 Post Road).
The property is a compilation of nine large tracts and is currently vacant and unimproved,
consisting of flat coastal plain used for cattle grazing. The surrounding vicinity is characterized by
vacant tracts of land and substandard subdivisions with a scattered mix of permanent residences and
mobile homes.
III. PROPOSED LAND USE
The property is outside of the City, and as such is not zoned. The Comprehensive Plan
indicates this portion of the planning area as low density residential with appropriate commercial
uses. The proposed General Development Plan, Figure 2, presents a low density master planned
community with a wide range of attractive and affordable housing in well defined neighborhoods.
The General Development Plan complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan with an overall
density not to exceed 3.6 dwelling units per acre based on a maximum of 2,500 homes on 692
residential use acres. The General Development Plan and the Development Agreement provides for
sites to be donated by the Developer to the City for construction of the future Library and Fire
Station #10 by the City. Figure 3 illustrates the proposed amenities and beautification plan
consisting of an integrated network of parks trails and open spaces.

Article 4
ALLOCATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES WITHIN THE DISTRICT
4.01. City Fire/EMS services. The District will formulate, with the assistance and advice
of the City, and in conjunction with the Participating District, a "fire plan," as such term is used in
Tex. Water Code, §49.351, consistent with the terms of this Section. The City may, but is not
required to, provide all required fire and emergency medical services within the District. Such
services will be provided as warranted by the then current status of development within the District,
on the same basis and using the same criteria as are used for the determination of the provision of
such services within the City. The District will use its reasonable efforts to receive the required
authorization and to thereafter contract with the City (in a form mutually agreeable and consistent
with other such contracts entered into by the City relating to fire/EMS services outside the City) for
the City to provide fire/EMS protection services to the District. Payment to the City with regard to
services provided under this Section shall be described in the fire plan, and shall be based upon the
actual costs to the City, including reasonable overhead, in providing such services. The Developer
has agreed in the Development Agreement to provide a site for a fire station within the
Development, and the City agrees to make use of such site in conjunction with the provision of
fire/EMS service described herein.
4.02. Police protection. The District may provide for the provision of enhanced police
protection services within the District by either contracting with the City or with a third party
267262v2 Page 4 of 13
provider of such services. If provided by the City, such services will be provided as warranted by
the then current status of development within the District, on the same basis and using the same
criteria as are used for the determination of the provision of such services within the City. Payment
to the City with regard to any police protection provided under this Section shall be based upon the
actual costs of the City, including reasonable overhead, in providing such services.
4.03. Solid waste services The District will provide solid waste collection services to the
residential users within the District, using the same contractor used by the City. The District may,
at its option, either (i) enter into a separate contract with such contractor to provide solid waste
collection services to its residents, or (ii) request the City to extend its existing collection contract
to cover the District. If the District elects the first option, it shall pay the contractor directly; if the
District elects the second option, it shall pay the City for the costs attributable to the contract
extension.
4.04. City inspection and regulation services. As a part of the municipal services to be
provided within the District by the City, the City shall be authorized to enforce the City Regulations
within the District, including the requirements included in such regulations relating to inspection of
residential and commercial property and construction. The City reserves the right to charge a
differential inspection fee for inspections conducted outside the City limits, but such fee shall not
be more than 110 percent of the in -City inspection fee. To assist the District in enforcing the City
Regulations, the District shall include in its Rate Order or other applicable water and sewer
regulations a provision requiring that applicants for new District sewer taps affirm their compliance
with the City Regulations, and that continued water and sewer services from the District shall be
contingent upon the continued compliance of the affected property by the City Regulations;
provided that, the District shall not be responsible for detecting or enforcing violations of the City
Regulations except as provided in this Section. The District shall not transfer any new water or
sewer service from a builder to the initial occupant of any structure requiring a certificate of
occupancy without first obtaining from the applicant a certificate of occupancy issued by the City
with respect to the structure.
4.05. Infrastructure inspection_ fees The District shall be responsible for the payment of
the City's infrastructure construction inspection fees that are applicable to District facilities. The
City intends to rely upon the District's inspection reports with periodic inspection by City inspectors,
but the City reserves the right to provide for full -time inspection by City personnel or by contract
inspection services.
4.06. Expenses to be reasonably incurred The City shall not incur capital or operating
expenses in connection with this Article for which it intends to be reimbursed that cannot be repaid
by a Fee that can be reasonably paid by a residential property owner, taking into consideration all
other District fees, including property taxes and utility fees.
Article 5
COSTS AND ASSESSMENTS
5.01. Determination of costs of municipal services The City shall determine its actual
costs of providing municipal services described in Article 4 using generally accepted municipal
auditing procedures, and shall provide such cost to the District annually, at least 60 days prior to the
267262v2 page 5 of 13
beginning of the District's fiscal year. The costs of each City service shall be separately accounted
for and, to the extent the City receives fees or other revenues in connection therewith (e.g.,
inspection or permit fees), such revenues shall be described and used to offset the City's costs. The
District agrees to pay the reasonable expenses incurred by the City in computing the cost of
municipal services, including reasonable consultants' fees.
5.02. Fee derived from residential property In accordance with the Act, the District shall
impose a fee on residential property within the District to be used to pay the City a fee in lieu of full
purpose annexation. The fee shall be equal to the costs of providing municipal services within the
District as computed in accordance with Section 5.01, above, divided by the number of residential
properties within the District. Fees with respect to multi family properties, if any, shall be allocated
based upon the number of dwelling units within each property. Costs associated with the District's
fire/EMS plan described in Section 4.01, above, and solid waste collection described in Section 4.03,
above, reflect services that the District would otherwise provide for itself, without respect to this
Agreement, and are therefore not considered to be fees in lieu of full- purpose annexation as such
term is used in the Act. The District will convert the fee derived under this Section into a monthly
fee, payable by the owners of residential property within the District (the "Fee and enforceable
in the same manner as other District fees and expenses. The District will be responsible for payment
to the City, regardless of the District's ability to collect the full assessment.
5.03. Fee in lieu of full purpose annexation Each calendar quarter, the District shall pay
the Fee collected pursuant to Section 5.02, above, to the City in lieu of full- purpose annexation.
Article 6
WATER, WASTEWATER AND DRAINAGE SERVICES
6.01. Generally The District, in conjunction with the Participating District, will initially
provide all water, sewer and drainage services for the Development in the same manner as such
services are provided by other ET.I districts; provided that the Districts will participate in regional
facilities as provided in this Article.
6.02 Wastewater facilities The Districts will provide wastewater treatment for the
Development by owning or Ieasing interim package wastewater treatment plants or capacity
"Interim STP The Interim STP shall not exceed the Maximum Capacity. At the time the Interim
STP average daily flow reaches 75 percent of the Maximum Capacity, the District and the
Participating District will begin design of a permanent wastewater treatment plant (the "Permanent
STP to serve the Development, and will commence construction when the flow reaches 90 percent
of the Maximum Capacity. The Parties agree that the City may financially participate in such
Permanent STP to the extent that it desires capacity therein for its purposes outside the Districts.
Should the average daily flow in the Interim STP not exceed 90 percent of the Maximum Capacity
within two years of completion of residential construction within the Development, the Districts
agree to commence construction on the Permanent STP prior to lowering the tax rate below $1.00
per $100.00 of taxable valuation. The District will consult with the City regarding the conceptual
and final design of wastewater treatment facilities, and the City may provide comments thereto,
which comments the District will use its best efforts to incorporate consistent with good engineering
practices and applicable regulations. The City reserves the right for the City, or its designee, to
construct the initial or subsequent phases of the Permanent STP at any time to serve properties
267262v2 Page 6 of 13
outside the Districts. The District will not be required to participate in any such City required
expansion without its agreement, but will remain financially responsible for its pro -rata share of the
Permanent STP prior to such expansion.
6.03 Water facilities The Districts will provide for such interim water capacity as they
determine is necessary, in accordance with applicable TNRCC regulations, and consistent with the
timing of the needs of the Development, including without limitation the design and construction
of the water distribution system to facilitate the interconnection to the City's permanent water supply
and to Fort Bend Fresh Water Supply District No. 1. The distribution water mains within the
Development are anticipated to be a 16 -inch water main along County Road 58 and a 12 -inch water
main north to future County Road 101. At such time as the City determines that it is necessary to
connect the Districts to the City water distribution system, the Districts will participate in funding
the construction of a City water main (currently anticipated to be a 16 -inch water main east along
County Road 58, then continuing as a 12 -inch water main north along County Road 48 to County
Road 59). The District's financial participation in the water main shall be based upon its pro rata
share of the water main's capacity required to serve it, taking into account any then existing
permanent water supply constructed by or on behalf of the District. The water plant site will be
configured to include a minimum 500,000 gallon elevated tank; however, the District will not be
responsible for funding or constructing the elevated tank.
6.04. Other considerations Except as provided herein, the District shall be subject to the
regulation and approval of the City in the same manner as provided for a district located in the City's
ETJ generally.
Article 7
SALES TAX PROVISIONS
7.01. Imposition of sales tax The City is hereby authorized to impose its sales and use
taxes within the boundaries of the District, without annexation by the City, subject to the provisions
and procedures described in this Article.
7.02. Eligibility This Article shall become effective upon the receipt of notice by the
District from the City that, as a result of any Federal Census, the City is an eligible municipality
under Subsection (n) of the Act. The City shall have one year from the date of the official
publication of the Federal Census to provide such notice. Because the most recent estimated Federal
