III. NEW BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - Preliminary Plat of Pine
Hollow Estates, Section One. Being 36.549 acres (1,592,053 s.f.) of land located
in the W.D.C. Hall League A-70 Brazoria County, Texas.
Ms. Renee West, Mr. Rick Gadd, and Mr. John English were present representing the owner,
Pine Hollow Estates, Ltd. and asking for appproval of the plat.
1
A lengthy discussion began on the pipeline easements. City Engineer, John Hargrove had
several comments that are addressable on the final plat and the construction drawings, except for
the pipeline easements inside the lots in three areas. Ms. West replied she would lose revenue
1
if not able to include the pipeline easements in the lots.
Ms. West informed the Commission that the construction easement at Lot 4, Block 1 is 50 feet
to allow the entering of large equipment on each side. Assistant City Manager Richard Burdine
said the homes have to be kept out of the easement.
Mr. Hargrove's objection to pipelines within the lots was is that in the future, the homeowners
will want to know what is in the easement and what they can do there. As the subdivision
matures, the residents complain and will dig or build on the easements. He went on to say that
Block 3, Lot 15, Lot 8, Lot 9, Lot 1, and Block 1, Lot 4 might be lost due to the pipelines.
Commissioner Starr asked if information regarding the pipelines be written into the deed, and Ms.
West replied that it is, and the only restriction is permanent structures being built over the
pipelines.
Commissioner Emil Beltz asked if homes elsewhere have been sold with pipelines through the
lots, and Ms. West replied in the affirmative, and it has not been a factor in the selling of the
homes.
Mr. Burdine asked what was the zoning in that area, and Mr. Mueller answered that it was zoned
R3 in the back and RI in the front.
Mr. Burdine brought up the subject of site barrier fencing, and Ms. West explained that split rail
fencing will be required. Swimming pools will require a four foot high wrought iron fence.
Ms. West said that the Pine Hollow project has gaslines that are being used for jogging trails.
She went on to say there was a problem with pipeline easements not draining, and Mr. Burdine
asked if filling them in was allowed. Ms. West said yes. Mr. Hargrove asked if approval has
been given by pipeline companies for regrading, and Ms. West said no, but letters have gone out.
Mr. Burdine said there was the potential to go with Type A drainage to have a crown in the
middle of the easements to drain out. With the amount of telephone calls regarding those
problems he has received, Mr. Burdine recommends varying the rear and side setback to give
flexibility on placement of the homes.
Ms. West asked for approval of the plat with Class A drainage, approval of the pipeline
easements platted in the lots using split rail fences for all lot fences.
Commissioner Patro made a motion to deny the Preliminary Plat of Pine Hollow Estates, Section
One until the problems are resolved. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Commissioner Starr made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Beltz, to approve the Plat
contingent upon approval from the pipeline companies; to grade for Class A drainage; and other
minor changes to be noted by Mr. Hargrove to the developer's engineer.
Motion passed 4 to 1 (Commissioner Patro abstained).

Mr. Steve Nichols, representing American Retirement Community, L.P., was present and
requesting approval of the Final Plat of Sagemont First Home.
Mr. Hargrove's comments were related to a number of editing changes to be made on the fmal
plat. He recommended conditional approval with the following corrections:
1. General Notes No. 9 and 10 are not specified;
2. need all signatures and names on plat;
3. need reference of Volume and Page recordation; and,
4. include Scarsdale Blvd. to end of subdivision.
The City Engineer and City Attomey will withhold their signatures until those items are
