4. DISCUSSIONS
a. Discuss the drilling of oil wells in and around the Evergreen Golf Course and
its impacts on the community and the City of Baytown's future land use plan.
City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item to discuss the drilling of oil wells in and
around the Evergreen Golf Course and its impacts on the community and the City of
Baytown's future land use plan. He stated that in years past and prior to zoning, the City
had a Comprehensive Oil Well Drilling Ordinance. He stated that the City was
contacted by a company who inquired about the mineral rights to the Goose Creek Oil
Field and applied for a permit to drill a well in the Goose Creek Fields. They were told
that the zoning requirements to drill an oil well require heavy industry zoning. He stated
that staff met with the company's' attorney's and that Council authorized for him to retain
the services of an attorney who's experienced in oil and gas matters. City Manager Leiper
stated that it appears that the City can not preclude a mineral rights owner from accessing
their mineral rights and that a surface property owner that does not own the mineral rights
can not arbitrarily or unilaterally preclude that mineral rights owner from reaching those
assets. He stated that if someone owns property and he tells them that they can not use
that property for anything, that is essentially considered a taking which requires that the

person to be made whole for the value of what was taken from them. Additionally, he
stated that the mineral rights for the Goose Creek Oil Fields were acquired in 2006 for
$63,000,000, in which the City would be potentially liable for plus all of the profits that
they were not allowed to reap from the property, if the City did not allow the mineral
rights owners access to their mineral rights.
City Manager Leiper stated that the Goose Creek Oil Field has many wells; with a vast
majority of them as non productive wells. He stated that to the developer's credit on a
regular basis they are going to the railroad commission process to properly cap and seal
those wells permanently.
City Manager Leiper stated that the locations being proposed for drilling also extend up
into the property that was to be the subject of the zoning case on tonight's agenda and
also the property in which the City was planning to put large lot residential
development. He stated that the first well that they are asking to do is Ashbel Smith 2 No.
55.
City Manager Leiper stated that the mineral rights owners understand the issues and have
no problem with staying away from residential areas, along the bayou, and setting up in
specific locations. He stated that staff is working on an administrative agreement that
protects all parties involved but also allows the mineral rights owners' reasonable access
to their mineral rights as the City is not in the position to pay $63,000,000 for this site.
He noted that are other places with mineral rights owners as well. City Manager Leiper
stated that the City is able to write oil well regulations which have been on the books
since the 50's, as long as, the regulation is not written to completely preclude the use
of someone's mineral rights.
During further discussion, Mayor Pro Tern Sheley inquired if the City's noise ordinance
has anything to do with the potential 24 hour noises coming from the drilling rigs. City
Manager Leiper stated that from the top of his head that it would apply.
City Manager Leiper stated for clarification that these are not gas wells and this is not
fracking.
City Manager Leiper stated that anything that staff does would go through the Planning
and Zoning Commission (P &Z) before it goes to Council. City Attorney Ignacio Ramirez
stated for clarification that the changes that are made to the zoning ordinance to provide
for the special use permit would go to P &Z and Council, but the plan is to try and get an
administrative special use permit process so that each well would not have to go back to
the P &Z.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheley inquired if this was the type of oil well drilling that would affect
the air quality in the area. City Manager Leiper stated that those are all regulated by the
Railroad Commission of Texas and Texas Commission of Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) so they would have to meet state and federal requirements.

concrete road from I -10 to Wallisville Road to be reimbursed through tax increment
from the county. He stated that they were unsuccessful when taking the approach of
doing a Chapter 381 where the County would do it directly. He stated that the TIRZ
legislation changed two (2) year ago and no longer has to be contiguous or in the City, so
the TIRZ is being expanded outside of the City to take in those increments of county tax.
City Manager Leiper stated that this is being done as a stand alone amendment as
opposed to a new project plan because when this is paid back, it all goes away and is a
seven (7) year zone enlargement.

City Manager Leiper stated that zoning information is posted on the web, but it's not
required and staff along with the Planning and Zoning Commission agreed that website
posting should be required. He stated that because the posting of onsite signs is
problematic when rezoning on a larger scale, Planning and Zoning Commission issued a
recommendation that would take care of the entire city rezoning which stated that if the
rezoning is more than 31 square miles then no signs were required to be posted. He stated
that staff is proposing that if there is a proposal or request for rezoning of five (5)
tracts /parcels or fewer, then staff would follow the current practice of placing signs at
least every 200 feet along a thoroughfare.
City Manager Leiper stated that staff is proposing to change the zoning sign to a generic
sign with a phone number to call for more information regarding the zoning and if the
rezoning is more than five (5) tracts /parcels that staff be required to post at lease six (6)
signs but that the director of planning and development could post more signs as they
deem appropriate.
Alan Hudgins registered to speak before the public hearing regarding agenda item 8.a.
and asked if the proposal was for a website change for the ULDC. City Manager Leiper
stated that the distance would remain at 300 feet and the changes were for the zoning and
ULDC because it is listed in both places.
City Manager Leiper stated that the recommendation is for the redlined amendment
provided to Council at their places on the dais.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing at 7:45 P.M.
b. Consider an ordinance amending Section 130 -121 "Notice required" and
Section 130 -122 "Contents of notice" of the Baytown Code of Ordinances and

10. MOTIONS
a. Discuss and take possible action on an economic development agreement for
700 W. Texas.
City Manager Leiper stated that there was a discussion item with Chris Presley regarding
the possible final development of a commercial tract at the corner of 700 West Texas.
City Manager Leiper stated that the 380 agreement being proposed is different than any
of the other 380 agreements with respects to the others being for specific development
with specific performance measures. City Manager Leiper stated that Mr. Presley would
put up a cash bond with the City of $40,000 for the value of the land, and if the property
is not dried in a period of time or if he does not meet that requirement, then the city
would keep the $40,000 which would go towards his balloon payment toward the end.
City Manager Leiper stated that upon the building being dried in, a certificate of
completion is received for a shell building and at that point Mr. Presley wants a grant

from the City of $40,000 of a five (5) year forgivable loan to offset the cost to build the
building, with the performance measures being based on the fact that the building is
there. City Manager Leiper stated that he's not comfortable with having that agreement
without specific performance measures because of the potential of having another vacant
building on Texas Avenue.
Mayor DonCarlos stated that he could support the recommendation of allowing Mr.
Presley to receive $20,000 of the $40,000 upon the completion of the shell, the other
$20,000 upon producing that 51 % of the building is leased for a minimum of two (2)
years.
City Manager Leiper requested an estimate of the shell or some construction perimeters
from Mr. Presley to add to the agreement and that he would prefer to bring Council a 380
agreement that is contingent upon funding by the MDD then to be submitted to the MDD
Board for consideration.

being that they have unresolved damages to the streets in Pinehurst.
City Manager Leiper stated that staff tried to resolve the issue and that there has been
very good experience with Angel Brothers coming back and doing work. He stated
that the City engineer staff met with the residents in Pinehurst and staff feels that Angel
Brothers has been responsive on the items that needed to be replaced.

need to be put in before the County starts working on North Main.
