Chairman Viktorin stated that they are the Planning and Zoning Commission and
it is their duty to look at the vision of the future for the City of Pearland. He
stated that it is their duty to be sent forward our recommendations to City
Council, and they are the precedents for these applications.

Commissioner locco stated that it is his concern that if you drive down Cullen
there are currently 8 or 9 homes and a few businesses.
Commissioner Selemon pointed out that Cullen is going to be a major
thoroughfare, and "General Business" does not seem that harsh.
Commissioner locco suggested that maybe the citizens should get on the phone
with staff and City Council to urge that this be taken care of.
Chairman Viktorin stated that from a safety prospective he does not think it is a
good idea to have driveways of residential homes leading on to Cullen.
Commissioner Selemon stated that in time Cullen Boulevard could be a five-lane
road. Mr. Selemon pointed out that Mr. Moser was promised that this area would
be residential, and he doesn't know who promised that, but he doesn't think that
those type of precedents need to be set.
