Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller stated that he has a copy of the overall layout for Silverlake in his office. He stated that there is a note that says the building separation is 10 feet.

CONSIDERATION & POSSIBLE ACTION — Request for a variance on the construction of the South Two lanes of Scarsdale Boulevard until the Fourth section of Bellavita at Green Tee, by West Development Company, Inc. Commissioner locco asked if there is a map to look at because he would like to see which section is Section Four. Renee West of West Development Co., Inc. stated that there are three things happening with this. She explained that only one side of the boulevard is put in all the way through Beamer, even through the age-restricted community. She stated that the reason being is that Harris County is supposed to put it in. She explained that it is all tied into the Yost Road situation, and if the Yost Road crossing is not done then they should not need the second lane and that is why they would like to wait. City Engineer stated that his comment is that because the variance request includes a statement that Harris County said they would fund the extension, he doesn't think the variance should be tied to any construction that is supposed to done by Harris County. He stated that it should be just until Section Four of the subdivision is constructed. Commissioner locco asked what happens if Section Four does not go, and Mr. Hargrove answered that it doesn't get built. Commissioner locco then asked if they wait until Section Four is built will the two lanes accommodate the traffic, and City Engineer Hargrove replied that should not be a problem. Vice-Chairman Scott made a motion to approve the request for the variance of the construction of the two lanes on Scarsdale until Section Four is constructed with the statement regarding Harris County to be restricted from the letter. Commissioner Glenn seconded the motion. Motion to approve passed 6 to 0. J. DISCUSSION ITEM — Amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance and Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance. Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller stated that back in January at a City Council retreat, City Council lined out a line up of workshops to have with City staff. He stated that one of the topics were to amend the Subdivision Ordinance and the Land Use Ordinance. He stated that a couple of weeks ago they started reviewing the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance. Mr. Mueller stated that they were at a stopping point for the Subdivision Ordinance because they were waiting on the approved drainage manual.
