Chairperson Isenberg read into the record the item on Consideration and Possible Action — RPL2025-0238: Final Plat of Lew Tract South Section 1. Consideration and Possible Action - RPL2025-0238: Final Plat of Lew Tract South Section 1 A request by RG Miller Engineers Inc., applicant; on behalf of Meritage Homes of Texas, LLC and Massey Oaks Homeowners Association, Inc., owner; for approval of the Final Plat of Lew Tract South Section 1, creating 73 lots, 6 reserves and 4 blocks on 29.1209 acres located south of Old Massey Ranch Road and East of Harkey Road described to wit: Legal Description: A subdivision of 29.1209 acres of land located in the H. T&B.R.R. CO. Survey, A- 525, City of Pearland, Brazoria County, Texas. General Location: South of Old Massey Ranch Road and East of Harkey Road, Pearland, Texas. Senior Planner Bauer presented the staff report with exhibits. Mr. Bauer stated that the request is for approval of the Final Plat of Lew Tract South Section 1, which proposes 73 lots and six reserves. He reviewed the zoning map and Plat, noted that staff does not recommend approval of the Final Plat for the following reasons: 1. Non-conformance with the Unified Development Code (UDC), Section 3.1.5.4, which outlies the approval criteria for a Final Plat: a. Lack of adjacent infrastructure to support the proposed Final Plat for Massey Oaks Lew Sections 1. Until a Final Plat separated the tracts, they are considered adjacent to CR100. b. Section 3.2.1.2 outlines owner obligations for dedication and public infrastructure improvements. Required improvements identified in previously approved facilities impact studies include roadways, water, and wastewater. c. Section 3.2.2.6. requires developer participation in the improvement of substandard perimeter roadways. d. Section 3.2.4.2. mandates the extension of water and wastewater lines along the subdivision's entire frontage adjacent to a street or thoroughfare. In this case, the subdivision fronts CR100, and lines would need to be extended to the eastern boundary. Additionally, the Harkey lift station is not complete per EDCM section 4.3.30. 2. Lack of an executed Subdivision Improvement Agreement or Development Agreement to permit approval without installing the required infrastructure. A prior agreement between the City and the previous property owner stipulated that no Final Plat would be submitted or approved until the water and sewer facilities along the Old Massey Ranch frontage were installed. That agreement remains applicable despite any subsequent change in ownership. The applicant was not present. Chairperson Isenberg called for public input. There were no persons wishing to speak for or against the proposed request. Docusign Envelope ID: FB055B4F-A6C7-4560-BBEF-21395E31795B Commissioner Henrichs asked staff to confirm the location of the Final Plat and whether the lack of utility infrastructure was the basis for the recommendation of denial. Staff confirmed both. Discussion followed regarding the placement of items on the consent agenda. Deputy Director Griggs clarified that Final Plats are presented on the consent at the direction of previous Commissions, even if staff recommends denial. Deputy City Attorney Provins explained that applicants may submit incomplete applications, and the City is obligated to process them. Chairperson Isenberg referenced the Massey Oaks development agreement, and Commissioner McDonald suggested considering a formal process for placing plats with staff objections on the regular agenda. There was no further discussion from Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission, or public input. Chairperson Isenberg read into the record the item on Consideration and Possible Action — RPL2025-0238: Final Plat of Lew Tract South Section 1. Commissioner McDonald made a motion to approve the Final Plat, and Commissioner Haskins seconded the motion. Motion failed 0-5.
