Commissioner Darrell Diggs made a motion to approve, and
Commissioner Henry Fuertes seconded.
Mr. Bob Lewis, Realtor asked to speak. He stated that Code Enforcement

was denied at the March 20'" P&Z Meeting due to excessive outstanding
items. Most of the items have been addressed.

major, and Plat and Plan Administrator Keller replied that he had not
received a letter from the Brazoria County Drainage District. The
applicant, Jason Banda, was present and stated that they would get this
done. Mr. Banda also brought in a corrected mylar prior to the meeting.
Chairperson Greiner made a motion to approve with Staff comments, and
Commissioner West seconded.
Planning Director Krishnarao stated that Staff does not like receiving

corrections before approval and the Commission signing. Mr. Keller
looked over the mylars and stated that they were still waiting on the letter
from BDD4.
