H.E.B. was not amenable to the situation because the construction

Morgan also noted that the relocation of the utilities would cost
approximately $1.3 million.

&qenda Item No. 2 - ~gproval of & Final Plat - Post Oak S~u&re
Shoppina Center (90-207).
Mrs. Morgan explained this item. She stated that Mr. Ray Lister
has written a memorandum dated June 28th to the City outlining
his new proposal. She indicated that the plat before the Council
is not the same plat as originally submitted and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. She pointed out that the main
point of concern with the original plat was the inability of the
lots to access public sewer. She added that the sewer currently
being used is a private line.
Mrs. Morgan noted that the revised plat indicates that Pier I has
access to a public sewer line across Highway 30. She pointed out
that Note No. 6 on the plat provides for a utility agreement
between Mr. Lister and Pier I. In addition, in Note No. 7, staff
has informed Mr. Lister and Pier I that the city would require a
hold harmless agreement between the City and Pier I before the
plat is filed for record.
Mrs. Morgan stated that another Note should be added to the
revised plat Note No. 8 stated as follows: "Ail two lots will be
considered as one building plot for signage purposes."
Mr. Stewart Kling, 4301 Texas Avenue, came forward to answer any
questions the Council might have.
Councilman Brown asked if under the new agreement, Pier I would
tap into the public sewer. Mr. Kling replied that Pier I prefers
the private sewer line tap versus the public tap. He clarified
that Pier I would sign a hold harmless agreement if they tapped
into the private sewer line.
Councilman Crouch asked for the estimated cost for going under
the Highway. Mr. Kling replied approximately $3,000 - $5,000.
