hearings, and all legal requirements have been met. He gave a brief presentation of the
location of the property, and stated that the property is in Harris County. It consists of two
tracts of land one being 48.75 acre tract and a 265.85 acre tract. Together they comprise
314.6 acres. This is a voluntary annexation that has been petitioned by the owners of the
property. Mr. Mueller briefly reviewed the service plan and also stated thatthere are not any
residents on these tracts of land, and no capital improvements are needed.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Larry Marcott, 3636 Inverness Court, addressed Council and stated that he is opposed this
annexation until Yost Road is opened. He further stated that he is concerned about the
mobility of the City, and if we are going to have more mobility Pearland Parkway has to be
opened to Monroe, and Yost Road also has to be opened. In closing Mr. Marcott stated that
he cannot support this annexation because of the Council majority.
