A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND,
TEXAS, STATING THE CITY'S INTENT TO PROHIBIT THE CONNECTION
OF CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD STREET STUB-OUTS TO SPECIFIC
COLLECTORS, THOROUGHFARES OR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.
WHEREAS, a residential development ("Development"), located west of the
Green Tee Subdivision, is currently under construction; and
WHEREAS, the Development proposes the connection of a Collector street
to the western terminus of Green Tee Drive stub-out in the Green Tee subdivision;
and
WHEREAS, the City's Comprehensive Thoroughfare Plan states that
Collector streets should be designed to discourage through traffic from adjoining
neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the residents of the Green Tee subdivision have expressed
concerns that the connection of the Development to the Green Tee Drive stub-out
will create an increased traffic burden and safety hazards for their neighborhood;
and
WHEREAS, the residents of the Shadycrest subdivision have expressed
concerns that their subdivision could be connected to the City's proposed extension
of Pearland Parkway to allow through traffic; and
WHEREAS, the connection of the Development to Green Tee Drive or
Pearland Parkway to the Shadycrest subdivision would reverse the City's long
standing policy of prohibiting, when appropriate, the connection of neighborhood
street stub-outs to certain Collector and Thoroughfare streets.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS:
