HALL SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 23, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. Mr. Lentz excused himself from the Chair at this time due to a possible conflict of interest. 1 As Vice Chairman Beckman was absent, it was the consensus of the commission that James Garner be acting Chairman on this agenda item. Don Guynes, staff representative, presented a letter from Lentz Engineering requesting a variance to the block length. The length is 1433 feet which exceeds the maximum 1200 feet required by Ordinance. It was determined by the Commission that there are no stub outs on the opposite side of the golf course. It was moved by Pat Courtin, seconded by Jack Womack, that the variance be granted to extend the block length. Motion passed 4 to 0, with Al Lentz not voting. The Commission then discussed approval of the plat. Mr. Lentz, Engineer on this plat, stated that the Drainage District had signed the preliminary plat.

It was moved by Jack Womack, seconded by Pat Courtin, that the Preliminary Plat of Green Tee Terrace Section VI, be approved as submitted. Motion passed 4 to 0 with Al Lentz not voting. FINAL PLAT OF GREEN TEE TERRACE, SECTION VI, BEING A SUBDIVISION OF 4.6056 ACRES IN THE W.D.C. HALL SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 23, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. Mr. Lentz stated that the original plat had been signed by the Harris County Drainage District. Staff Representative, Don Guynes, reported that the plat was in compliance.

Motion passed 4 to 0 with Al Lentz not voting. Commissioner Lentz returned to the Chair. REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE 25' BUILDING LINE TO 10' ALONG COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE, ON THE PLAT UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR A PORTION OF BLOCK 7.

PRELIMINARY PLAT OF A PORTION OF BLOCK 7 OF GREEN TEE TERRACE TOWNHOUSES, BEING 61,438 SQUARE FEET OUT OF BLOCK 7, AS RECORDED IN VOL. 177, PG. 60 OF THE MAP RECORDS OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED IN THE W.D.C. HALL SURVEY, ABSTRACT 23, CITY OF PEARLAND, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. Al Lentz explained to the Commission that a preliminary plat of a portion of Block 7 had previously been approved by the Commis- sion. It was determined that it was submitted by a different party. John Garner, Engineer, suggested that in order to differentiate between the two plats he would note the lot numbers 21 -28 on his plat. Staff Representative Don Guynes stated that the plat was in order. However, he pointed out that there would be an accessi- bility problem in relation to the driveways should the construc- tion start in the middle of the tract. It was moved by Pat Courtin, seconded by James Garner, that the preliminary plat be approved as submitted. Motion passed 5 to 0. FINAL PLAT OF A PORTION OF BLOCK 7 OF GREEN TEE TERRACE TOWN- HOUSES INTO LOTS 21 -28, BEING 61,438 SQUARE FEET OUT OF BLOCK 7, AS RECORDED IN VOL. 177, PG. 60 OF THE MAP RECORDS OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED IN THE W.D.C. HALL SURVEY, ABSTRACT 23, CITY OF PEARLAND, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. Don Guynes stated that the preliminary drainage plan had been approved by the Harris County Flood Control. However, the Dis- trict did not approve the final plat because it lacked proper verbiage that the Flood Control District felt was necessary for its approval. It was the consensus of the Commissioners that they would act on this plat. However, in the future plats would not be considered unless they were approved by the Harris County Flood Control District. It was moved by Pat Courtin, seconded by James Garner, that the final plat be approved contingent upon approval from the Harris County Drainage District. Commissioner Garner inquired about the 20' access easement on a particular lot. Chairman Lentz explained that in order for 3 construction to begin on the lot, the owners would have to go before the City Council for abandonment. After further discussion, it was suggested that the motion be amended to provide rear pavement access because it was deter- mined that in order to have access the homes would have to be built systematically. The maker and the seconder agreed to amend the motion according- ly. Motion passed 5 to 0. Meeting Recessed at 8:00 P.M. Meeting Reconvened at 8:10 P.M. CONCEPTUAL PLAN OF GREEN TEE TERRACE SECTION VII. The Commission reviewed the pre - preliminary overall plat and dis- cussed items such as street widths, ingress and egress into the subdivision, right -of way, and traffic. Chairman Lentz conveyed to the Commission that the only problem he foresees in the overall plat is the right -of -way width of Wexford Road. He stated that if Wexford Road is going to be the collector street with the egress to the future Westminster, then the right -of -way should be changed to 70' with a 40' roadway to accommodate the flow of traffic. It was moved by James Garner, seconded by Pat Courtin, that the pre - preliminary conceptual plan be approved contingent upon changing the right -of -way to 70' on Wexford Road with a 40' paved road. Motion passed 5 to 0. PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GREEN TEE TERRACE SECTION VII, BEING A 17.5905 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF LOTS 87 -90 AND LOTS 104 -107, OF THE ALLISON - RICHEY GULF COAST HOMES CO. SUBDIVISION, RECORDED IN VOL. 4, PG. 48, OF THE MAP RECORDS OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, LYING WITHIN THE THOMAS J. GREEN SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 290, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. Chairman Lentz informed the Commission that the plat had been presented to them at the last meeting. He stated that it was approved contingent upon making Letrim Road a 70' right -of -way with a 40' roadway. Based upon the conceptual plan previously reviewed, Letrim Road right -of -way will not need to be changed. Don Guynes was informed by John Garner, Harris County will not abandon the right -of -way until the plat is accepted by the Plan- ning & Zoning Commission. This is to protect the County in case changes are made after the abandonment. 4 Don Guynes conveyed to the Commission that the plat shows a 20' building line but, due to the size of the lot, a 251 building line is required. It was moved by Pat Courtin, seconded by Jack Womack, that the preliminary plat of Green Tee Terrace Section VII be approved contingent upon approval of the right -of -way abandonment by the County, the setback line be changed to 25' and the wording on the plat to be changed to read Green Tee Terrace Section VII.
