own business of selling eggs from his chickens. If the City annexes her property the City will
be taking this away from her son. She stated she does not agree with what the City is doing.
Ethan Roe, 3611 Curtis Lane, addressed Council stating he shows rabbits, chickens and '
goats. He stated he is saving money for a car and college, and if the property is annexed he
will not be able to raise and show animals to earn money.
Earl Shaw, 4811 Louise Lane, addressed Council stating he has lived here since 1984. He
raises animals and he likes his place the way it currently is. If his property is annexed it will
be a major inconvenience for him.
Dawana Jones, 4801 Arnold Drive, addressed Council stating she has lived in Pearland her
whole life and lives down the road from her parents. She stated the City is not doing them
right.
Juanita Vergeth, 4055 Bailey Road, addressed Council stating when she bought the property
the plan was to put three homes on the property. A home for each of her three daughters. At
this time she has two homes on her property. If the property is annexed she will not be able
to put a third home on the property for her third daughter.
David Draper, 8206 Arnold Drive, addressed Council stating he has owned his property since
1998 and has not seen any improvements on Arnold Drive during that time. He stated he
wants to vote no to annexation it will not give him any benefit at this time.
Robert Byrd, 4802 Arnold Drive, addressed Council stating this annexation is not going to
benefit him at all. He stated he has animals and he is happy the way things are. '
Area 2
Mary Spencer, 16654 Berry Road, addressed Council stating she has lived on her property
for 45 years. She stated her concerns regarding the people that do not want to be annexed.
She further stated she hopes Council is listening to them.
Jerry Kneblik, 16903 Herndge Road, addressed Council stating he has lived on his property
for over 40 years. He has his own water, the Sheriffs department, and his own sewer, he
does not want anything from the City. He is wanting to know if his property is going to be
annexed.
COUNCIL/STAFF DISCUSSION:
Councilmember Moore asked what the timeframe would be for residents with Ag exempt
property.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated a development agreement is a statutory requirement per
the annexation status the City is required to do on any Ag exempt property. The residents
with Ag exempt properties are offered a development agreement that allows that property to
remain Ag exempt and will not be annexed at this time if the residents do a development '
agreement. It is a five year agreement. It does not mean after five years that they cannot
continue to be in Ag exempt status. This delays their annexation for a five year period. The
agreement has a component that states if the property owner during that five year period
goes to the county for a building permit to develop their property that would trigger the
development agreement that the property owner violated the agreement during the five year
period and is would be consenting to be annexed. At the end of the five year period and the
Page 4 of 15 —10/12/2015
property is a business in Ag exempt status that business can continue even if they come into
the City as a non -conforming use and would be grandfathered in.
' Councilmember Moore asked what the timeframe would be for the City to supply water and
sewer to the annexed properties.
City Attorney Darrin Coker stated there are two aspects to this. First the City is required to
provide full municipal services within a certain time period under the statutes. Under the
statute that period is four years. The issue that everyone needs to be clear on is the City has
to have the water and sewer capacity to serve the area within four years. The city taxes that
are paid do not go to support water and sewer service in Pearland it is a separate account.
The only people that pay for water and sewer service in Pearland are those that are using
Pearland water and sewer. City taxes do not support any of the infrastructure for the water
and sewer. When it says in the statute that the City is to provide full municipal services within
that four year period, what that is referring to is to provide water and sewer capacity not
services to the property line.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated County Road 100 is his grandfather's rice field, the family
still owns a part of it and the City annexed it. The City also took land for a drainage ditch. He
asked the residents that when they talk about one side or the other, to remember some of the
Councilmembers have been on both sides. He stated his family moved to this area in 1910
and land value is worth a whole lot more today than it was in 1910. Everybody present
tonight that has owned land any period of time knows it is worth more now than when you
bought it. A large part of the reason is for the City of Pearland. We can agree or disagree, but
' when people come here to develop it is because of the City. He further stated students that
raise and show animals for Ag can continue to do that. The City has changed the animal
ordinance with the permission of any adjacent owners that a student can raise a project as
long as it is enrolled in the County Fair. It is all in the City ordinance on what is allowed. He
asked the residents to talk to Council for correct information.
Councilmember Hill stated he is proud of the young man that spoke tonight, it takes a lot of
courage to do that. He further stated his family moved to Pearland in 1978 and he wishes it
was still like that today, but he cannot control that and it will never be like that as sad as it
may be. He stated Pearland has tried to keep the small town atmosphere and his goal is to
try to continue to keep the small town atmosphere. He knows this is going to be a tough deal,
but he hopes everyone can work together.
Mayor Reid thanked everyone for attending the meeting. He stated Council has heard what
everyone has communicated and thought it was very well organized.
The Public Hearings adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
