PURPOSE OF HEARING - PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 20-
ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR LESS, GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF CR107F,
NORTH OF BAILEY RD., AND WEST OF MANVEL RD.
City Planner Harold Ellis reported this is a request by Kevin Cole, applicant for Tin Dinh,
Owner. Mr. Cole has petitioned the City of Pearland to annex an approximately twenty
acre tract of land, located on the east side of County Road 107 F, north of Bailey Road,
and west of Manvel Road. The property east of the tract subject to annexation includes
approximately twenty acres, is under common ownership and was annexed into the City
in 2001. This adjacent tract is zoned Single -Family Estate District. As indicated by the
Service Plan, the City will be able to service the possible annexation area with existing
resources. He further reported Staff recommends approval of the annexation of the
subject twenty acre tract located on the side of County Road 107F, north of Bailey
Road, and west of Manvel Road because the property is located within the City's Extra -
Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and will eventually become a part of the City of Pearland.
By annexing the property prior to development, the City is able to prevent non-
conforming issues that may potentially occur if the property develops while in the ETJ.
The Annexation of the subject property into the City of Pearland will ensure that future
growth is guided by the Future Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan, Unified
Development Code, and other City regulations. Additionally, the City will be in a better
position to provide safeguards against unplanned and unregulated growth for current

and future residents of Pearland. The proposed annexation is being initiated by the
owner and will not affect nearby properties in a negative manner. It will give assurances
to nearby property owners that development on the property will be subject to City of
Pearland regulations.
Kevin Cole stated he is looking at this property for a development opportunity. The
property is split into two twenty acre tracts. The western tract is outside the City of
Pearland and the eastern tract is inside the City of Pearland. He feels it would be in the
best interest of the overall project to make a forty acre tract opportunity. Therefore
requesting from the City and following the guidelines of the City to make it a cohesive
development.
CITIZEN COMMENTS:
Terry Woods, 3525 Charles Avenue, addressed Council stating he owns property with a
home next to the property in discussion. He stated he has had drainage issues ever
since Berry Miller Jr. High was built. His concern is it will cut off all the natural drainage
on his property from this development.
COUNCIL/STAFF DISCUSSION
Councilmember Carbone asked Staff to speak on the drainage issue.
City Planner Harold Ellis stated drainage would be taken into account at the time of
plating.
Deputy Director/City Engineer Andrea Broughton stated the drainage plan for that site is
required to be submitted, reviewed and approved prior to final plat approval. When
reviewing the plans the City takes into consideration any drainage issues with
neighboring or adjacent properties.
Kevin Cole stated the development company has to be able to maintain what is pre -
developed as well as post -developed and move the drainage through the property
where it should naturally go. He further stated it is illegal to block a drainage flow and he
has no problem working with Mr. Woods to correct the drainage issue.
Deputy Director/City Engineer Andrea Broughton stated the Engineering Department
will review the drainage plan and make sure the drainage is not blocked. She further
stated she would reach out to Mr. Woods to get the drainage problem corrected.
