Chairman Al Lentz read the following correspondence into the records:
TO: Pearland Planning Commission
FROM: Lanplan Company/General Homes Corp.
DATE: July 11, 1986
SUBJECT: Variance Request, Southwyck Section 2 Preliminary Plat
1. We request a variance for Plantation Drive to be 220 ft. in length rather than
the required 300 ft. block length minimum as stated in the subdivision ordinance,
27-4 Item #B2(a). We request the variance for the following reasons:
a. A stub for Plantation Drive was platted in Section 0ne and was approved by
the Pearland Planning Commission.
b. The typical lot depth for Section 2 is 110 ft. when lots are placed back to
back, a total depth of 220 ft. is the result. Therefore, there is no way for
any street that runs perpendicular to the lots to meet the required block
length.
2. We request a variance to allow a portion of Brookren Court to be 280 ft. in
length rather than the required 300 ft. miniitum. We request this because:
a. The existing block length is only 20' less than the minimum requirement.
b. Due to the nature of the design, no way to lengthen this block.
TO: Pearland Planning Commission
FROM: Lanplan Company/General Homes Corp.
DATE: July 11, 1986
SUBJECT: Variance Request, Southwyck Section 2 Preliminary Plat
We request a variance to allow the front bldg. line to be 20 ft. on all lots fronting
on the bulb portion of all cul-de-sa's. We request this because:
Pearland ordinances (Pg. 1635) state that the bldg. line can be
reduced to 20 ft. if the lots are less than 105 ft. deep.
Alan Bauer of General Homes Corporation stated that there have been no changes on
this plat from the one previously submitted for which the time period for approval
had elapsed.
Code Enforcement Officer stated there were a few minor clerical errors but these had
been corrected on the mylar and Staff gave its approval.
It was moved by Mary Starr, seconded by Leroy Savoie, that the preliminary plat of
Southwyck, Section Two, be approved with the variances granted as requested.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
MOTION TO REQUEST COUNCIL AUTHD TZATION TO AID PLANNING AND ZONIIG CHAIRMAN TO FORM
A COMMITTM TO REVIEW AND RECOMMEND AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF PEARLAND CODE OF
CdOIN.ANCES, CHAPTER 27, SUBDIVISIONS
Chairman Al Lentz stated that with the passage of Ordinance No. 509, commonly called
the Zoning Ordinance, there are conflicts between it and the Subdivision Ordinance.
There are many problem areas and the subdivision ordinance needs to be updated so
that these two ordinances are compatible.
With the consent of the Commission, Chairman Lentz stated he would like to have a
letter written to the Mayor requesting him to reactivate the committee consisting of
two Councilmembers, two Planning and Zoning Commission members and the Staff who
would review and recommend changes to the Subdivision Ordinance.
It was moved by Helen Beckman, seconded by Mary Starr, that Chairman Lentz draft a
letter to the Mayor requesting the reactivation of' a committee to update the
Subdivision Ordinance.
