The proposal near SH288/FM1462 would place most of the 296-acre residential tract outside Alvin city limits, while 23.5 acres of commercial property would remain in the City. The proposal included new water and wastewater plants, a four-acre dedication, and funding for a future EMS/fire station, but Council did not support the development in its current form. Council also generally supported a permit system for up to three temporary garage-sale signs, with an ordinance expected at the next meeting.
