Vice Chairman Beltz asked if there were buildings over the pipelines, and Ms. West replied no, the pipeline easements are in the backyards. She went on to say there was class A 1 drainage sloped to the front, and split rail fencing to further aid runoff and visibility. Mr. Hargrove said that Note 7 on the plat makes reference to the fencing restrictions. Vice Chairman Beltz asked what will be built on Lots 13 and 15. Ms. West said that those are large lots that will accommodate $300,000-$400,000 homes. Chairman Lopez asked the existing zoning, and Mr. Hargrove replied it was R-2.

Director of Planning and Development Dennis Smith said the requirements are met for the square footage but not the frontage requirement. This variance request (for lot width reduction) will be addressed by the Zoning Board of Adjustments at their December 11, 1997 meeting.

Commissioner Starr commented since there is a request existing to ZBA, the request here to P&Z is out of order. Motion passed to deny 5 to 0. The Commission recessed at 6:28 p.m., and reconvened at 6:35 p.m. F. CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION -Thoroughfare Plan and Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Smith presented an overlay of the Thoroughfare Plan to the Commission. Mr. Peter Boecher of Vernon Henry and Associates was present, and said the major change was Pearland Parkway crossing Clear Creek to tie into Hughes Road. The alternative is for Pearland Parkway to turn north and cross the David L. Smith project to intersect with Beltway 8. The advantage is the signage for Pearland Parkway is at Beltway 8, and it could be the north/south thoroughfare into Pearland. Mr. Smith indicated staff was recommending the alternate plan be adopted. Commissioner Scott asked if there was an overpass at Monroe and Beltway 8, and Mr. Boecher replied yes. Vice Chairman Beltz asked the purpose of bending the street through the David L. Smith project, and Mr. Boecher said it was to clear a residential area and stay on this side of the creek. Mr. Mueller stated that staff discussed a Barry Rose tie in to Hughes Road. Chairman Lopez said he prefers a Beltway 8 tie in for Pearland Parkway and not Hughes Road, as that plan coordinates with the City of Houston's plans. Mr. Mueller said there is a curve in the Monroe extension in the David L. Smith project and Pearland Parkway could be brought through the curve and incorporated into the site plan. 3 Discussion revolved around secondary and collector streets. Mr. Hargrove said the definition for a collector street is up to four lanes with no turning lanes; a thoroughfare can have many lanes in each direction with a dedicated protected turning lane (median, esplanade, varying widths, etc.): "Secondary thoroughfares" could be lesser lanes (2 lanes with either left turn or continuous left turn lanes or pockets). Chairman Lopez asked if there is a titneline on the Thoroughfare Plan, and Mr. Mueller said the Plan is behind schedule and individual components need to be considered by the Commission before workshops begin with City Council. Mr. Smith stated plan for public hearings were tentatively scheduled for late January/early February. Mr. Hargrove said the timing for construction of the streets are developer motivated. Mr. Mueller said the Plan is a tool to allow the City to acquire right-of-ways. There was no further discussion. IV. NEXT MEETING DATE: Monday, January 5, 1998, 6:00 p.m. V. ADJOURNED 7:35 p.m. Minutes approved as submitted this day of A.D., 1-997. ATTEST: ger, Secreta 4 rrs Ferro • Saylors, Inc.

Box 2068 Pearland, Texas 77588-2068 Reference: US Home Corporation Lakes of Countryplace Section One Variance FSI JO 94006-12 Dear Mr. Hargrove: On behalf of US Home Corporation, we hereby request a variance on the plat for the Lakes of Countryplace Section One in reference to the following items: I. Use of a 20-foot front building line on front access garages. 2. Use of a 15-foot building line on houses with garages that do not face the street right-of-way. 3. Use of a 10-foot side setback between houses. The request is based on the following considerations: 20-Foot Front Building Line All previous sections of Countryplace Subdivision have been approved with a 20- foot front building line. To remain consistent with the rest of the project, we propose to use a 20-foot building line within the section. The 20-foot building line provides adequate space to park a car in the driveway without blocking the sidewalk. 15 foot Front Building Line For Lots With Side Garage Access On random lots within the section, some houses will be built with garages that do not face the street. Driveways would tie into the street, then turn into the garages, as shown on Attachment "A". On these lots, we request use of a 15-foot building line. One of the concerns about a reduced building line (less than 20 foot) is that cars parked on the driveway will extend onto the sidewalk crossing area. In the case of a side access drive, a car could pull up into the driveway beyond the building line and beyond the wall of the garage, thus keeping the sidewalk open. The use of a 15-foot building line would apply only to houses with side garage access. All 1E80 a,,.: ,nrord �,,,,,, i.., ,!,e- vu:�rn;. zy; nine Ferro • Saylors, Inc. Architecture • Engineering • Planning front access garages would remain 20-foot. On the plat submitted for approval, the building line is labeled 20 foot and refers to Note 15. Note 15 states "Houses with garages that face the public right-of-way shall have a building setback of 20 feet. Houses with garages not facing the public right-of-way shall have a minimum building setback of 15 feet." The use of a 15-foot building line was approved for Countryplace Sections 10, 11, 12, and 13. 10 Foot Side Setback Between Houses The City of Pearland requires a total side setback of 15 feet between houses. Since all of Countryplace Subdivision has been built and approved with the 10-foot side setback, we request use of a 10-foot setback on the standard single-family Tots within the section. Based on these considerations, we request the variance request be approved. Sincerely, Steven P. Gardner, P.E.

City of Pearland 3519 Liberty Drive Pearland, Texas 77581 Reference: Friendswood Development Company Southdown Section Nine (9) FSI JO 94010-90 Dear Mr. Hargrove: On behalf of Friendswood Development Co., we hereby request a variance to use a 20 foot building line on all lots in Southdown Section Nine (9). Our request is based on the following considerations: 1. In the 1980's, this Section was first intended for commercial use. Instead, it will be used for residential use. Due to the limited space, we can only provide a 20 foot building line in the front of the lots. The 20 foot building line outside the right-of-way provides adequate space to park a car without blocking the sidewalk. 2. Lots that front on a cul-de-sac or thumbnail will have a greater distance between houses than the 100 foot (50' +25' +25') that occurs on the typical 50 foot right-of-way with a 25 foot building line on both sides. With a 20 foot building line, the separation between houses on a cul-de-sac will be 140 feet (100+20+20). There will not be the appearance from across the street of the houses being crowded. Based on these considerations, we request approval of this variance. Sincerely, mmanuel De Pau, .E.

Southwyck Section Three (3) Phase Four (4) FSI JO 94014-35 Dear Mr. Hargrove: On behalf of Southwyck Three, Ltd., we hereby request a variance on the following items for Southwyck Section 3, Phase 4: 1. A 20 foot building line on cul-de-sac and thumbnail lots. 2. A 5-foot side building setback. The request is based on the following considerations: Twenty Foot Front Building Line 1. Lots that front on a cul-de-sac or thumbnail will have a greater distance between houses than the 100 foot (50' +25' +25') that occurs on the typical 50 foot right-of-way with a 25 foot building line on both sides. With a 20 foot building line, the separation between houses across the cul-de-sac -will be 140 feet (100+ 20+20) and will lessen the appearance of the houses being crowded. 2. The 20 foot building line outside the right-of-way provides adequate space to park a car without blocking the sidewalk. 3. Cul-de-sacs typically crowd the depth available for building a house. A 20 foot building line provides more space toward the front of the lot to position a house and provide aback yard. 4. All previous sections of Southwyck Subdivision have requested and used the 20 foot front building line. 1880 Dairy Ashford Road Suite 505 Houston, Texas 77077 Telephone 281/496-0066 Fax 281;496-0220 pa Ferro • Saylors, Inc.

All previous sections of Southwyck Subdivision have been developed with the five foot side building setback.
