PURPOSE OF HEARING - DISANNEXATION OF A TRACT OF LAND CONTAINING
r— 10.1418 ACRES OF LAND BEING LOT 9 OF THE ALLISON-RICHEY GULF COAST
HOME COMPANY SUBDIVISION OF THE H.T. & B.R.R. COMPANY SURVEY NO. 85,
ABSTRACT NO. 304 BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS. Mr. Darrin Coker, City Attorney.
STAFF REVIEW
City Manager, Bill Eisen, stated this is a request for disannexation of a 10 -acre tract of land
which is part of the Super Wal-Mart site located near State Highway 288. This 10 -acre tract
is a portion of the overall tract. This 10 acres is located near the rear of the tract and the
owner is asking for disannexation so as not to end up building partly inside city limits and
partly outside city limits. This property is located within Municipal Utility District No. 6.
Council and the MUD No. 6 Board of Directors previously approved a contract whereby City
sales tax can be levied in Municipal Utility District No. 6 regardless of whether this particular
piece of property is located fully in, partially in or completely outside city limits.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
George Weatherall, 14119 River Forest, addressed Council and stated he represents the
development that will be adjacent to the Wal-Mart. There is a need to disannex this
property because it straddles the boundary between the City of Pearland and Municipal
Utility District No. 6. In order to get utilities to this property it must either be completely in

Pearland or completely in MUD No. 6. For this reason, the owners are requesting
disannexation. He stated that individuals with Wal-Mart, who are involved with the design
of the store, have met with Silverlake officials and invited comments from them regarding
the appearance of this store. He further stated this will not be a run-of-the-mill Wal-Mart
Supercenter and will look a little nicer than the typical Super Wal-Mart. He is specifically
involved with the balance of the property on the west side of County Road 94, which is
adjacent, and has agreed to not only abide by the development guidelines of Silverlake, with
some modifications, but to also become members of the Home Owners Association so
there is some consistency when headed east on FM 518 between the two properties.
These were conditions that Municipal Utility District No. 6 and the City of Pearland asked
to be imposed for this disannexation.
COUNCIL/STAFF DISCUSSION
City Attorney, Darrin Coker, stated once the property is disannexed, Municipal Utility District
No. 6 will petition the City for consent to the annexation into MUD No. 6. Everything south
of this property is already annexed into MUD No. 6.
Mayor Pro -Tem Marcott asked if Wal-Mart pulled out and decided not to come would the
City have just given up 10 acres.
City Manager, Bill Eisen, stated the City would probably end up with less sales tax
generated if Wal-Mart chose not to come. On the property tax side, it is hard to tell what
the City would be giving up since it is not known what portion of the building would be in the
city limits.
