IN THE SECOND FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL, 3519 LIBERTY DRIVE, PEARLAND, TEXAS. I.

Mathis Commissioner Tommy L. Scott Commissioner Mary Starr Director of Planning Dennis L. Smith and Development City Engineer John Hargrove Project Coordinator Alan Mueller and Secretary Judy Highburger were absent. H. Approval of the Minutes: October 6, 1997 A motion was made by Commissioner Starr and seconded by Commissioner Mathis to approve the minutes as presented. Motion pass to approve 4-0-1 (Commissioner Beltz abstained). III. New Business: A. Consideration & Possible Action - Preliminary Plat of Sheldon Cove at Silverlake, a subdivision of 14.4204 acres of land out of the R.B. Lyle survey, A-539, Brazoria County, TX. City Engineer John Hargrove recommended approval with the following stipulations: requested that in the future second pages of the plat not be included on preliminary plats, asked for additional information regarding the completion of County Road 94. In addition, Mr. Hargrove recommended the acceptance of three variances which are consistent with previous section development in Silverlake (i.e. use of 20 ft. Setbacks on bulb portion of cul-de-sacs; use of 5 ft. Side lot building line setbacks; use of a cul-de-sac greater than 600 ft. in length.) Developer representatives, Cathy Mitchell and Brian Jordan, indicated the proposed completion date would be the 3rd quarter of 1998. C.R. 94 was originally slated for construction with section G, but was shifted to correspond with section I completion because financially the link to section I was more consistent for the developer. Also, Ms. Mitchell stated that the northern half (not in Manvel) will develop first. Commissioner Starr motioned to approve the plat with the City Engineer's comments and variances attached. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baker and the motion passed 5-0. B. Consideration & Possible Action - Preliminary Plat of Villages of Edgewater Estates, Section one, being 44.8 acres of land containing 101 lots and 8 reserves containing 10.14 acres in six blocks, out of the H.T. & B.R.R. Co. Survey, A-309 Brazoria County, TX. Mr. John Hargrove, City Engineer, recommended conditional approval with the following corrections: two contours must be shown on the face of the Plat; a surveyor's statement and signature block must be attached; split Spinnaker Bay Lane on the common property line of lots 12 and 13 with the suggestion of a name change to Spinnaker Lane from lot 12 east to west and Lakeway Lane from lot 13 north to west; and show ownership of the property on the final plat. Commissioner Baker asked if Pebble Brook Lane was also a problem. Mr. Hargrove indicated the only suggestion would be to make street names one word (i.e. Pebblebrook) when possible to allow for limited space on street signage. Commissioner Lopez asked if a letter to the engineers regarding use of contours would be helpful. Mr. Hargrove indicated that the ordinance clearly calls for it, and all of the engineers who work with the City of Pearland are aware of this requirement. In addition, Mr. Hargrove said the County wants originally signed white Mylars on all future projects and the City would appreciate the same consideration. Commissioner Starr motioned for approval with the suggested changes. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Scott and passed 5-0. ' C: CONSIDERATION & POSSIBLE ACTION - Final Plat of Dixie Woods Section Three, out of and a part of Lots 60 & 70, G.W. Jenkins Subdivision, Vol. 79, Pg. 616, Brazoria Count Deed Records, in the W.D.C. Hall League, A-70, Pearland, Brazoria County, TX. City Engineer John Hargrove recommended conditional approval. Mr. Hargrove stated that designated line L2 (a long lot line) left a strange bit of land defined by detail 2492 as a trapezoidal area which should be left with the developer because it is located over a pipeline. [Al Lentz, Engineer for the project, arrived at 7:10] Mr. Hargrove reiterated his concerns with this lot configuration and Mr. Lentz said it would be rectified. Mr. Lentz asked if this could be added to only one lot as opposed to the two lot division that exists now. Mr. Hargrove indicated that it was better than the existing configuration. Mr. Hargrove also recommended limited approval because construction drawings have not been approved by staff. Mr. Lentz said they were being reviewed by OxyChem and he had a set with him for Mr. Hargrove. Commissioner Mathis motioned for approval with the stipulations expressed by the City Engineer. The motion was,seconded by Vice -Chairman Beltz and passed 5-0. D. CONSIDERATION & POSSIBLE ACTION - Facade Ordinance changes. Planning Director Dennis Smith presented suggested changes to the facade ordinance from staff. The Commissioners debated the pros and cons of each change at length and recommended that Mr. Smith recall the facade committee for another meeting to discuss these changes. The Commissioners believed changes should be made, but wanted as much input as possible prior to their review. IV. NEXT MEETING DATE: Monday, October 20, 1997 @ 6:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Lopez at approximately 7:20 p.m. APPRO BY: Pat Lopez, man ATTEST:
