process of working with the landowner to develop these parcels. He explained the details of the
proposed residential dwellings.
Chairperson Fuertes called for public input.
Resident, Paul Eskine with Houston Aircraft Instruments, Inc. at 2519 Park Avenue, Pearland,
Texas 77581, stated that he is against this proposed CUP. He stated that his business is located
near these proposed residential dwellings. Mr Eskine mentioned the previous duplexes that were
proposed to be developed at this location by the same applicant and landowner but were denied.
He stated that this development is not at the same quality as the Sullivan Brothers Project that is
currently being developed and that he would prefer if it was like the Sullivan Brothers Project to
match the area.
Sullivan Brothers Representative, Julie Glass with Sullivan Brothers at 6017 Whispering Lakes
Drive, Katy, Texas 77493, stated that the Sullivan Brothers have been working with city staff and
the Pearland Economic Development Corporation to understand the city's vision of the Old Town
S ite. She stated that it is a good thing that others want to invest in this area, but she would like
everyone to work together towards the same vision. Ms. Glass suggested that the applicant and
landowner utilize the alley ways with rear garages and add walkable sidewalks like the Sullivan
Brothers Project.
Commissioner Isenberg and Mr. Khatami discussed the price point of the homes and the
suggestions from Ms Glass. Chairperson Fuertes stated that if this proposed development was
anywhere else except this area of the city, he would be for this project. Chairperson Fuertes asked
P lanning Manager Griggs why this development needs a CUP. Planning Manager Griggs stated
that these parcels are in the Old Town mixed use district, so this proposed development requires
a CUP. Vice Chairperson Dansby stated that he does think that the Sullivan Brothers Project is
great for Pearland, but not great for this landowner. He stated that Sullivan Brothers have more
monetary resources to develop a high -quality, cohesive residential development Commissioner
Henrichs and Mr. Khatami discussed the alley way access. Mr. Khatami stated that moving the
garage to the rear and developing the alley ways would cost more and eliminate the backyard on
these homes. Commissioner Earles and Mr. Khatami discussed the Sullivan Brothers Project
further. Chairperson Fuertes summarized the discussion for the P&Z Commission and Mr.
Khatami. Commissioner McCathran stated that she agrees with the majority of the P&Z
Commission on having the same vision for the Old Town Site, but she does see both sides.

25th for consideration and that the Council may have a broader vision when reviewing the CUP.
