Mr. Malcolm Collins, representing the Presbyterian Church, stated he felt this suggestion would be favorably considered. Also discussed were the method of providing sewer service to the property and the possibility of requiring sidewalks along the frontage. It was brought that the fees have been paid for both the preliminary and final plats. Mr. Collins took issue with No. 4 on the list of suggested changes regarding bearing indicators. Mr. Guynes indicated that this was a requirement of the City Engineer. Item No. 2 was discussed regarding the reason why it should be "A" instead of "D ". There ensued a lengthy discussion regarding item #9 because of the issue of maintenance of detention ponds. It was felt that the term "Homeowners Association" did not properly describe the holders of this property and that "owners" would be a more accurate definition. Caution was advised in making this change so as not to usurp the authority of the Drainage District. It was acknowledged that a problem exists throughout the City regarding the maintenance of these detention ponds. A workshop was recently held by the Drainage District in the City to discuss solutions to this dilemma. It was suggested that the plat contained the term "Homeowners Association and /or Owners" because there is not always a developer or a homeowners association. It was noted that the ordinance which governs plat approval was primarily written for single family dwellings in subdivisions. It was moved by Commissioner James Garner that the preliminary plat of the Presbyterian Church be approved contingent upon: 1. Items 1 - 8 of the suggested changes by the Building Official being met. 2. Regarding Item No. 9, an additional note shall be added to the plat (being No. 7) which indicates that all detention ponds shall be maintained by the owner. The Drainage District and the City of Pearland shall not responsible for any drainage pond maintenance. 3 Commissioner Helen Beckman requested the motion be amended to include the addition of sidewalks. Commissioner Garner amended the motion to ask that sidewalks be added along the frontage. Commissioner Helen Beckman seconded the motion. Motion passed 7 to 0.
