E W BUSINESS
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED ORDI-
NANCE AMENDING THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE (SHORT FORM PLATTING
PROCESS) WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY.
Lester Rorick, City Attorney, conveyed to the Commission that
this particular amendment to the subdivision ordinance pertains
primarily to the Old Townsite. In particular, lots that are 25'
x 100' are curtailed from building under the current ordinance.
If a person owned more than one of these 25' lots, this new
amended ordinance would allow them to build across the building
line thereby eliminating the re- platting process.
Several Commissioners pointed out that the Multi- Family zone was
eliminated from this amended subdivision ordinance and should be
added.
Currently the Zoning Board of Adjustment is handling these re-
quests to cross building lines. Under the present ordinance the
Permit Department will not issue a permit to erect a structure on
a 25' lot.
After further discussion, the Commission agreed that a reasonable
fee schedule should be established to cover the cost of filing in
Brazoria or Harris County, and the cost to the City.
It was moved by James Garner, seconded by Mary Starr, to add
Multi- Family zoning to the amended subdivision ordinance. Mr.
Garner also included in his motion that recommendation be made to
City Council to establish a reasonable fee to cover all costs to
the city including filing fees.
Motion passed 6 to 0.
