Variance Request: 20 foot front building line. Mr. Garald Munger, Jr., Surveyor, was present representing R. and S. Land Co., Inc.. He was requesting approval of the preliminary plat of the partial replat of Cobblestone.

The first reading before City Council will be October 14, 1996, with the second reading on October 28, 1996. Chairman Larsen asked Mr. Munger if he assumed the zoning was in effect, to which Mr. Munger replied in the affirmative. The Chairman was concerned if the zoning application does not pass, then the preliminary plat would not be accurate. 2 Discussion followed with other concerns regarding the zoning application. Mr. Hargrove suggested the item be tabled until after the zoning change was in effect. A motion was made by Commissioner Patro, and seconded by Commissioner Beltz to table the preliminary plat of the partial replat of Cobblestone with the requested variance.

Discussion followed and a motion was made by Commissioner Beltz and seconded by Commissioner Patro to approve the preliminary replat of Lot 1, Block 4, Green Tee Terrace, Section 1. Motion passed 4 to 0. D. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - Discussion item on guidelines from the City Engineer for certain plats to bypass the Preliminary Plat phase. Commissioners had a memo from Mr. Hargrove outlining criteria on approval of certain plats to bypass the preliminary plat stage (copy attached).

Mr. Hargrove stated this would .be incorporated into the draft of the Subdivision Ordinance revision, now in its seventh draft. A motion was made by Commissioner Eggers, and seconded by Commissioner Eggers to approve the guidelines for submittal of plats. Motion passed 4 to 0. The Commissioners adjourned at 6:35 p.m. The Commissioners reconvened at 6:40 p.m. 3 E. Briefing on Pearland Area Homebuilders Comprehensive Subdivision Directional Sign Program. Ms. Renee West, of West Development, and Richard Burdine, Assistant City Manager, gave a presentation on the proposed Subdivision Directional Sign Program. The thrust of the presentation was to eliminate "bandit signs" and replace them with conforming signs to show Pearland as a Master Planned Community. Various signs were introduced and discussed. They are proposed to be placed along main corridors into Pearland. Builders and developers are to pay all costs, and will remove off -site signs from main corridors. This will not effect on -site signs. Approval of the program would expire after three years. The next step is to complete the draft of the Ordinance and schedule a Joint P&Z and Council Public Hearing. Ms. West said she has met with approximately 30 builders/developers and has received support from all, and is ready to implement the program as soon as P&Z and City Council approve it. IV. NEXT MEETING DATE: V. ADJOURNED: Minutes approved as submitted this A.D., 1996. ATTEST: Monday, October 21, 1996; 7:00 p.m. 7:15 p.m. 4 MEMO October 7, 1996 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission, City of Pearland FROM: John Hargrove, City Engineer SUBJECT: Preliminary Plats I recommend that developers and their agents be allowed, with a letter of variance, to bypass the•Preliminary Plat phase of the plat approval process for certain limited kinds of platting options. Specifically, I am speaking of all Amending Plats and some Replats. The limiting criteria are: 1) The replat will be only for changes in an existing, recorded subdivision in the City or our ETJ. 2) There must be no net increase in the number of lots platted in the original subdivision. 3) There must be no new rights of way or change in existing rights of way (an easement is not a right of way). 4) There must be no addition to public water, sewer, storm or street systems. 5) The replat itself will not create new zoning conditions. If these criteria are met, I feel confident that allowing a replat to be considered for approval as a final plat, without first approving a preliminary plat, will cause no difficulties. Thank you for your consideration. tcuor)14-4.-
