CHANGE IN ORDER OF BUSINESS: NEW BUSINESS: r—, REQUEST BY PEARLAND VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR RADIOS: Mr. John Munsch, Assistant Fire Chief, appeared before the City Council with a request that the City Council act favorably on the request of the Department for temporary transfer of funds for the purchase of a pager system for all members of the Department.

LAND USE CHANGE - REQUEST BY RONALD & BEULAH JOHNSON - CLASSIFICATION R-1 TO NS. Being a portion of Lot 2 out of a partition of 5.5 acres as recorded in Volume 685, Page 660, Brazoria County Deed Records. (Application 63) City Attorney, Bobby Willjams, stated that he held a lengthy discussion with Mr. Austin regarding the deed restrictions on this property. (Mr. Austin being the previous owner of the property.) Mr. Williams stated that some years ago, Mr. T.D. Smith, owner of Lot 1, wanted to find out if his lot could be used for commercial purposes. Mr. Williams stated that he researched the problem at that time and found that this was a pre-city subdivision developed by Mr. McGlathery. It was not a platted subdivision; however, each lot designated was described by metes and bounds. At that time Mr. Smith brought his deed restrictions to the City Attorney for review. The deed restrictions were not described in a separate instrument, but was a covenant on each and every lot sold by Mr. McGlathery in this subdivision. The deed restrictions on Lot 1, as well as all other lots in this subdivision, state that no commercial buildings can be erected on any of the lots. The City Attorney researched to see whether or not a City could go behind deed restrictions, and it was found that no zoning change or zQning ordinance could affect prior deed restrictions that were in effect prior to the passage of the City's zoning ordinance. The property could be rezoned; however, a building permit could not be issued for anything other than that outlined in the deed restrictions. The City Attorney advised the City Council that there was no way the City could rezone this property and issue any kind of permit for a commercial establishment. The only way these restrictions could be lifted would be from the original grantor; however, in this case the original grantor is no longer alive, or if 100% of the property owners in this subdivision signed some type of recordable document releasing those particular lots from these covenants. He advised that in his opinion the attempt to fezone this property and hold a publicshearing would be futile since the City Council, according to law, could not grant the request. Mayor Reid asked Mr. Johnson if he wished to go through the entire public hearing, and Mr. Johnson stated that if it was a futile effort, he could see no need. Mayor Reid announced that Public Hearing No. 1 and Item No. 4 under "New Business" would be passed over at this~meeting. 2. STREET ASSESSMENT FOR GALVESTON AVENUE - From the South right-of-way line of Pear Street southerly along the centerline of Galveston Avenue to the North right-of- way line of Walnut Street, a distance of approximately 600 feet. A. Mayor Reid outlined the purpose of the hearing explaining that it was to consider the proposed street improvement assessment against abutting property 'owners for a portion of the cost of improvements. He advised that all persons owning property abutting this street had the right to be heard and any property owner, his agent or attorney, who did not agree with the decision of the City Council would have the right of appealing any decision made by the City and that the appeal must be-made to the Court of competent jurisdiction within a period of fifteen days from the time any assessment is levied. B. The City Secretary advised that all notices of the hearing had been duly mailed and published according to Section 9 of Article l105B of Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes and that no railways were affected by this proposed street assessment. C. Malcolm Collins, P.E. City Engineer, and J. F. McDevitt gave testimony on behalf of the City.

CHANGE IN ORDER OF BUSINESS: NEW BUSINESS: REQUEST BY J. D. AUSTIN TO RETAIN THE REAR 40 FEET OF LOT 2, W.D.C. HALL LEAGUE, ABSTRACT 70: The request by J. D. Austin was considered by the City Council. Mr. Austin explained that he wished to retain the rear 40 feet of Lot 2 for the purpose of making his yard larger. The size of the remaining portion of Lot 2, now owned by Mr. Johnson, is still conforming to R-1 Classification. It was moved by Councilman Farley, seconded by Councilman Frauenberger that this exception be granted. Motion passed 3 to 1. Councilman Wilson opposed. A PARTIAL REPLAT OF LOTS 14 AND 15 OF THE W. ZYCHLINSKI SUBDIVISION: Ron Wicker, Director of Planning and Transportation, advised the City Council that he had been contacted by Tom Ellis with the consulting firm representing Safeway on this particular replat, and they asked that this item be passed tonight. They have additional information which they have to put on the plat to make it legal before it is actually submitted to us. They asked to be put on the agenda of the next council meeting after information is complete. Mr. Wolff advised that Mr. Tom Alexander wished to address the City Council regarding the lot division. Mr. Alexander advised that the Alexander Estate was selling the land and the buyer intended to sell a portion of it. The sale of the land was by metes and bounds description. Four owners are involved in selling two tracts of land. Mr. Alexander advised that as landowners and Safeway as buyers would like to know if the City Council will accept the plat. Mayor Reid asked that Councilwoman Coppinger read into the records a memorandum from Ron Wicker dated November 9, 1978, regarding the replatting of this property. Said memorandum reads as follows: "TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: RON WICKER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND TRANSPORTATION DATE: NOVEMBER 9, 1978 SUBJECT: REPLATTING OF A PORTION OF LOTS 14 AND 15 OF THE W. ZYCHLINSKI SUBDIVISION The Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting on November 7, 1978, considered a replat of a portion of Lots 14 and 15 of the W. Zychlinski Subdivision of the H.T.& B.RR. Co. Survey, No. 2, Abstract 542, Brazoria County, Texas, containing 8.866 acres. This is being subdivided into Lots 1 and 2 of Safeway Addition No. 1. Attached herewith are comments from Malcolm Collins, our City Engineer, which outlines those areas he felt did not meet our minimum subdivision requirements. Mr. Collins was reviewing this replat using both the requirements for a preliminary and final plat as minimum. As this does not really involve the same process as a regular preliminary and final plat, some of the items were not complied with. Item Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9 have been corrected on the original plat. Item Nos. 3, 6, and 7 have not been shown on the plat. Item No. 7 was discussed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission approved the replat allowing the waiver of the 20 foo~ alley as provided for in the subdivision ordinance, in lieu of the 16 foot utility easement along the westerly boundary of Lot 1. Proper side street paving and lotting areas will be reviewed at the time of submittal of plans for a building permit. At this time the Drainage Commission's signatures have not been obtained but will be taken care of at their regular Monday morning meeting prior to the Council's meeting. I also wanted to point out that the owner of this property has dedicated five additional feet of right of way on the north side of Orange Street to allow for an eventual 70 foot of right of way. This replat is in order and ready for Council consideration. Should you have any questionS, please let me know." It was moved by Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Frauenberger that this item be passed until the next regular agenda of the City Council. Motion passed 4 to 0. Mayor Reid advised the Alexanders that from this discussion there had been no strong indication that the plat would not be accepted when all things necessary have been complied with. MEETING RECESSED AT 9:25 P.M. - RECONVENED AT 9:45 P.M. CHANGE IN ORDER OF BUSINESS: DOCKETED PUBLIC HEARINGS: 3. RECONVENING OF PUBLIC HEARING ON REQUEST BY HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY FOR RATE INCREASE. A. PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK FOR THE PROPOSED INCREASE: Mr. Otto Schroeder, District Manager of the Houston Lighting & Power Company, advised that he would try and give answers to questions posed at the last public hearing. He advised that the H.L.I& P's expert witness testified aS: recommending !a 1,5.2% to 17..2% return on common equities. The H.L.&IP. requested a rate that would return 15.9%, and the increase that was recommended by the T.M.L. group would get a range of 13.6% to 14.3%. On the return of original cost was a 11.14% on gross plant and the T.M.L.'s 3.68% resulted in a 9.89% to a 10.16% on original cost. In answer to the question as to whether or not the H.L.& P. will be guided by what the P.U.C. allows on rural rates, Mr. Schroeder advised that he felt they would; however, it would mean his company would have to come back sooner for a rate increase. Mr. Schroeder advised that he felt the:ruling from the P.U.C. would be on November 16, 1978. The bonding date is November 19, 1978. B. PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK AGAINST THE PROPOSED INCREASE: None. C. QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD: Bobby Williams, City Attorney, advised that he had been in contact with our rate experts, the Counsel that is representing the cities in the rural rate case, and according to their investigation and according to the testimony at the Hearing, they have made a recommendation to the various cities for a range of increase, subject to approval by various city councils of $51,945,000.00 and that this increase be spread all across the classes. This would be a percentage of 3.7%. He recommended that the Council pass an ordinance on first reading allowing this 3.7% increase, and by the time we are prepared to read the ordinance on the second and finalreading, we will probably have the final rate ruling from the P.U.C. on the rural rate case. Mr. Williams asked that this Hearing be closed. Mayor Reid adjourned the Public Hearing.
