Sugar Land P & Z does not favor capping apartments

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Sugar Land’s Planning and Zoning Commission is not inclined to adopt a city council resolution which calls for amending the Development Code and limiting the number of apartments in a Planned Development to 200 units.

The commission held a public hearing on Jan. 12.

After hearing the speakers, commission members wanted to keep the development code as it is and did not want to place any cap on the apartment units.

The consensus among the commission members was that Sugar Land needs more apartments to support the retail business and new employers.

P & Z chair Kathy Huebner said she regretted her past decision to limit the number of apartment units in Sugar Land Town Square as it is hurting the viability of restaurants.

The people who oppose apartments are guided by emotion, misinformed and they have misapprehension about apartments, commission members felt.

This past November, city council approved a resolution asking the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider an amendment to the city’s development code and cap apartment units to 200.

Of the people who spoke, 11 speakers said they want to keep the cap of 200 and eight opposed any cap.

Those who spoke in favor

of capping apartments at 200 units per PD said such problems as higher density would occur along with overloading Fort Bend ISD schools, decreased property values, more traffic, negative lifestyle changes, and quantity growth versus quality growth.

The first speaker, John Mcnamee who wanted the number of apartments capped said he is concerned about the high density that might result and that his neighborhood schools already have a student density “on the high side.”

Sumita Ghosh pointed out that the millennials do not enjoy any special privilege and no millennial came to the meeting in support of apartments. The loyalty of the P & Z should be to its constituents, not to the mythical millennials, she said.

Diane Miller, who led the petition drive to amend the Development Code, told P&Z members Sugar Land is No. 1 in home ownership in Fort Bend County and that the town’s lifestyle attracts many professionals to the multi-generational community.

“The 200 units limit exists right now,” she said. “It’s in Chapter 6 of the code. The 200 limit is citywide. It’s not in any one district.”

Those who want leaving the development code as is included developers and those who had lived in or had difficulty finding an apartment in Sugar Land.

The developers who spoke

included Les Newton, who is a principal in Planned Community Developer’s, Ltd., developers of the Sugar Land Town Square.

He said Sugar Land needs more residents to support its restaurants and retail businesses and that they still struggle in Town Square.

“We are dramatically under served by enough population and are going to have a problem elevating our retail.”

Don Janssen also favors more multi family “of a type that will be a new generation similar to what you see in Town Square.

He said apartments have been a hot topic in Sugar Land for years and still is.

“From a developer’s standpoint we now have a void in new generation multi family.

We want to continue to attract companies that continue to grow our community.”

Peter Jacobs, principal of Rubicon Realty Group, told P&Z members, “These wanton allegations of unlimited apartments is hogwash. It’s not what this city will have.” He also said the city wants “to continue to attract companies that will grow our community. “ Rick Conley said Fluor Corp. bought land in Telfair “to bring our workforce closer.”

For many years, he said, he opposed apartments but has changed his mind. “We need increased density to support our workforce and retail. We’re not See CODE, Page 2

NEWS Code From Page 1 in favor of limiting apartments or adopting this resolution.”

Brian Armstrong has lived in an apartment on Lexington for six years. He works for Schlumberger and said it was “tough” to find an apartment in the area.

“People in other major firms here

are also looking for apartments.”

Another young person who moved to Sugar Land in 1990 said she too had difficulty finding an apartment in Sugar Land.

She is a graduate of Clements High School and said she’s okay with 200 or 250 apartment units per square mile.

Martin Nicholas, a pastor in Sugar Land, also said he’d seen

numerous people in his church looking for apartments in Sugar Land and finding none. “I think it would improve all lifestyles here.

I would like to see more multifamily housing.”

Kyle Stanley, who identified himself as a millennial, spoke and said he “thinks 200 is kinda small” and that the city needs more but also needs a balance between single-family houses and apartments.

Jeff Wiley, president of the Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council, said, “Density is required to make a mixed use development successful. Jobs create quality of life. Capital value keeps our tax rate low. Commercial enterprise that has low service requirements brings huge tax dollars.”

With the public hearing over, P&Z members weighed in and only Tim Hart said the people’s concern need to be assuaged instead of saying ‘trust us, we won’t overbuild.’

“Multi-family housing is important. Let’s keep the good guidelines we have.”

Carl Stephens, who has been a P&Z member for 10 years and is a developer, urged one and all to look at the information the city staff compiled and is on the

city’s website. He said the statistics show only three Sugar Land apartments with an occupancy rate below 91 percent and tells him more are needed.

The commission’s second vice chair said he’s convinced the apartment issue isn’t about the number of apartments but is about the attendance zones of Fort Bend ISD’s most highly rated high school, Clements.

“People are renting apartments in order to have their kids attend Clements. Read the statistics. We are the third lowest town in Texas for having multi-family units.”

He continued to say he thinks P&Z has done a “good job in being prudent in what it has approved” and that residents “all love the tax rate.” Then he noted how much of the tax burden is not paid by the single-family homes but by the Fluors, the TIs and Schlumbergers.

“A town gets more money out of apartments than single-family homes in the form of sales taxes,” he said. “This is important to the well being of a city.”

Stephens also pointed out that Sugar Land is on the verge of needing redevelopment because it’s now 30 to 40 years old.

“If we start trying to make these kind of changes being pro-

posed in this resolution we are shooting ourselves in the foot again on redevelopment. We should not approve the proposed resolution. We’ve got too much to lose.”

Kathy Huebner, P&Z chair, weighed in saying she had supported limiting apartments in Sugar Land but has changed her mind. She said she lived in them in Houston and that they fail not because of the density they create but because of some types of people who live in them. She said Sugar Land is 90 percent homes and is “definitely underserved as far as apartments go.”

She added, “Nothing will drop property values faster than a lot of boarded up retail because we don’t have the population to support it. It will also drive taxes up.

It is estimated that 625 multi-family units result in nearly $32 million in additional buying power compared to what 55 single family houses do. At the same time we don’t want to turn Sugar Land into a big apartment city.”

Sean Burnett, P&Z’s first vice chair, said he is not in favor of the resolution because he doesn’t believe “we should use an old number based on old zoning ordinance to move our city into the future. This is about balance. I’m

not in favor of this and I’ve listened with an open mind and open heart.”

Sue Sanchez also said she opposes the resolution because “200 is not right” and “if it weren’t for retail out here our taxes would be much higher.”

Heather Davis said, “Change is inevitable” and “we have to determine what the change will be and work with developers to figure out what the best way will be.

I am also opposed to the resolution. I think 200 is way too low a number.”

P&Z member Dan Simeone said high density is a necessity if you want to thrive and is a good way to go in terms of taxes. We are competing for relocating companies to Sugar Land and you have to take risks and look ahead.

We’re looking at the long term.

We’re trying to do what’s right for the city long term.”

Huebner wrapped up the discussion saying, “It’s an emotional topic. We need to make our decision based on facts. I think we could double our inventory (of apartments) and be a long way from a glut.”

Their recommendation to city council members will be do nothing and leave the development code as it is.

Judicial candidates make their case

By SESHADRI KUMAR Four candidates for the County Court-at-law No. 5 and two for the 400th District Court in Fort Bend County, contesting in the March 1 Republican Party primary elections participated in a candidates forum hosted by the Spirit of Freedom Republican Women in Sugar Land on Jan. 15.

The county court-at-law no.

5 is a new court and an appointed judge is presiding.

The candidates seeking this office are Frank Yeverino, Harold Kennedy, Ronald Cohen and Lewis White.

Yeverino, a Rosenberg resident, has been practicing law in Fort Bend County in civil, criminal, juvenile, probate, real estate and other areas for 21 years, which made him competent to be a judge.

During the funeral of Judge Thomas Culver, his life, faith and integrity on the bench touched Yeverino’s heart and that was a motivating factor in his decision to run for office.

Yeverino named Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy as his favorite jurists. Yeverino described himself as a judicial and financial conservative. He

said his license was suspended by the Texas Bar Council for 8 months.

Kennedy, an associate judge of the county court for 16 years and licensed attorney since 1983, highlighted his experience that distinguishes him from other candidates, Kennedy’s law practice involved his representation in some well known cases including that of the oil magnate Howard Marshall and the juvenile Michael Brandon Weaver, convicted of killing his mother with a baseball bat.

Kennedy said former Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo was his role model and among the current justices, he admires Anthony Kennedy.

Kennedy said he would interpret the U.S. Constitution “literally” with the original intent of the framers in mind.

Kennedy said he was uniquely qualified and had the judicial experience that others do not have.

Cohen said he has been practicing law for 27 years that touched on all facets of law, including condemnation proceedings and mental health cases. Prior to that he spent 10 years in law enforcement.

Cohen described himself as a strict Constitutionalist and admires Justice Antonin Scalia.

Mental health and condemnation are major issues, which others have not even touched on and he had that additional experience to be a judge.

White was previously an Assistant District Attorney in Fort Bend County and later served as the chief of juvenile division in Waller County DA’s office.

He has been running his own law practice for the last nine years.

White said because of his experience and character he was recently selected as special prosecutor for the Sandra Bland case. Bland committed suicide in her jail cell in Waller County last summer.

White names Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia as his favorites. He said he had a passion for juvenile cases.

Estes said he had a strong academic background and he wanted to play a greater role in public life.

Asked if the U.S. Constitution is a living and breathing document that should be interpreted literally, Estes said it should be interpreted in light of the new technology. For example, when framers wrote the commerce clause, there was no Internet. Estes said he is a Constitutional Conservative, barring the technology factor.

Justice Scalia is his favorite, Estes said.

Jaramillo was appointed to the 400th District Court by Gov. Rick Perry in 2014.

Prior to her appointment she practiced law in Fort Bend County for 18 years.

Her experience in criminal and civil law enabled her to smoothly transition to the 400th district court judge.

She is the wife of an exmarine and a committed public District Court In the 400th District Court servant, who has been running Judge race, incumbent Maggie the district court smoothly and Jaramillo and Joshua Estes are efficiently, Jaramillo said.

Jaramillo said she is a strict running.

Estes has 12 years of experi- constructionist of the Constituence as attorney. A judge need tion. She will strictly interpret not be political, but should be the law with respect to individual freedom and due process. fair and honest, he said.

Justice Antonin Scalia’s remarks ‘poppycock’ Justice Antonin Scalia recently said: “There are those that contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well.” Continuing, he would later assert that based upon a brief filed in the case, Black scientists in this country don’t come from schools like the University of Texas and that they come from lesser schools where they aren’t in classes that are “too fast for them.”

I described Justice Antonin Scalia’s recent remarks as “poppycock” while calling on a local radio station.

As a first decade African American UT graduate, I can tell you we matriculated and graduated at higher rates than the UT average. May I add we stayed often under very trying circumstances. What African Americans “ lacked” in “gaming” the system, we made up in rising to the occasion and sheer perseverance. These patterns of successes prevail to this day. Data supports this claim as explained in an article

by Dr. Gregory J. Vincent, Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement, Professor of Law at UT, Austin.

Although this theory on its face seems plausible, the research used to make the assertion has been invalidated by dozens of social scientists.

And not only that, research has proven that in reality, the exact opposite is true – that minority students who attend more selective universities earn higher grades and leave school at lower rates than others.

The brief Justice Scalia cites also makes mention that historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) produce a high percentage of African-Americans graduating with natural science and engineering degrees, theorizing the reason being that students are not grouped at

Rodney Griffin the bottom of their classes, as they would be at more selective universities. This ignores the history of HBCUs, which have been graduating Black scientists and engineers since the late 1880s. Many students that are accepted into our nation’s most selective universities choose to attend Howard, Spelman, Prairie View A&M and others because they understand they’re entering into a legacy that no other research institute in the nation could match.

It also ignores the fact that the nation’s top 50 universities producing African-American science and engineering doctorates is comprised of either top research institutes or HBCUs – there is no “lesser school” in the list. And if you dig deeper, when examined proportionately, some of our nation’s top research institutes including Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, as well as UT Austin – which falls in the top 50 and has its own proud legacy of producing some of the nation’s prominent AfricanAmerican scientists including Neil deGrasse Tyson and Stephanie Wilson, the second African-American woman to go into space – lead the nation in producing African-American scientists, further debunking Justice Scalia’s statement.

Rosenthal seeks re-election to FBISD board Dave Rosenthal, FBISD Board of Trustees Vice President, has announced plans to seek re-election in 2016.

Rosenthal was first elected to the board in May 2012 for a one year unexpired term. He was re-elected in 2013 for a full three year term.

Rosenthal was part of the team responsible for the transition from the Dr. Jenney administration to the current administration, under the leadership of Dr. Charles Dupre.

“This smooth transition was done without interruption to our students,” Rosenthal says.

Over the past several years, Rosenthal has championed removing burdens from the teaching staff, supported raises for teachers and auxiliary employees, and advocated for clear policies that are aligned with the boards’ core beliefs, which he helped draft in 201213.

One of the policies that he is most proud of allows students to pursue their dreams in sports and fine arts without hurting their class rank.

In 2013, Rosenthal also promoted a policy, adopted unanimously by the board, requiring balanced, unbiased curriculum to ensure FBISD students learn critical thinking skills.

During the past four years, the board has approved plans and/or construction for six new schools.

In 2014-15, the board approved a master facilities plan,

Rosenthal district wide rezoning, and a $484 million dollar bond program that included money to bring older schools up to current standards.

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The invisible neighbors

By CAROLYN BOWDEN Quail Valley Proud Neighborhood Association was organized in 1991 and I was one of the charter members. My position was “Hotline Chair” of the ‘Proud” Hotline Telephone Line.

Part of my job description was to answer questions and to be a liaison between the residents and the Entities of the Quail Valley area.

The majority of my calls were complaints that the callers asked me to report to the appropriate Entity for resolution.

When the complaint involved a neighbor of the caller I would suggest that they personally contact their neighbor to attempt to solve the issue themselves.

The options would be to knock on their door, make a telephone call or mail a note.

Most of the responses were: “I tried that” -- “I don’t want to cause problems because I have to live next to them” -“they are not friendly people” or “they are never home.”

I believe people typically are hesitant about complain-

mail it to them. They don’t want to do that either.

It is a big deal that they have contacted the Hotline and they stressed to me that they want no one to know that they called and reported their neighbor because they fear retaliation.

I have suggested that they invite their neighbors over for a cup of coffee and sit out in the driveway and just visit, talking about where they are from, families, work, etc. Not even mentioning the problem but trying to create a relationship. They don’t want to have a relationship with their neighbor because: not their type of people, not nice people, don’t want their children to play with the neighbor’s children.

Believe me, I’ve heard all the excuses. No matter what I suggest, they find something wrong with that suggestion.

This means they don’t want to be involved in the solution.

They want me or the HOA or the City to solve the problem and leave them out. They are not comfortable with confrontational issues.

Bowden ing about something to anyone face-to-face. I have suggested if they don’t want to talk about it, then write a very nice note and mail it to them. I’ve suggested that they get other neighbors who have the same opinion to cosign the note so that this person doesn’t think it is just you. They are afraid to put something in writing for fear it could be used against them legally Then I suggest that they cut out a question and answer in my hotline that pertains to their particular problem and

Not everyone has good interpersonal skills nor do they communicate well. They want someone else to handle the problem.

In times past, before there was television, there was just radio. Neighbors would gather and children played in the yard.

In this day and time, few people sit outside after dinner, not even on weekends and watch the children play.

If they do, it is most often in the privacy of their patio in the back yard.

People come home, run car pools, have dinner and watch television until bedtime.

I’m not saying that all of this is bad or wrong. It’s just a different time.

However, not making an effort to know your neighbor is sad and, in my opinion, could lead to future problems in our society. Be part of the solution: In the future make plans to attend your annual NATIONAL NIGHT OUT and have an opportunity to meet some of your neighbors.

Willowridge High School makes the NFL SuperBowl High School Honor Roll Three former Willowridge High School Eagles have played in NFL SuperBowls which brought the NFL Gold Ball Program to Chimney Rock Rd. Former WHS Eagles Allen Aldridge Jr.,and O.J. Brigance were honored recently at Willowridge High School in Fort Bend ISD. Allen Aldridge Jr., current Head Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator- Fort Bend ISD Bush HS, with the Denver Broncos, SuperBowl XXXII, and O. J. Brigance, current Sr. Player Development Advisor, Baltimore Ravens with the Ravens SuperBowl XXXV and St. Louis Rams SuperBowl XXXVI, presented their NFL Honor Roll Gold Balls to Principal Joseph Chandler, Willowridge High School.

Aldridge Jr. and Brigance were joined by former Eagle

Teammate and Hall of Fame, inductee Thurman Thomas who also made an Honor Roll Presentation.

Aldridge Jr. encouraged students to “Set your goal to be the best you can be while exhibiting Class and Character. Remember hard work, determination and dedication equals success.”

Brigance’s remarks were given by their Former High School Coach John Pearce: “Every triumph and success that I have ever achieved can be traced back to the people who touched my life and the principles they instilled in me during my years as a Willowridge Eagle. I learned the meaning of hard work, discipline and character in these very halls. Class and Character became more than words to me and countless others who were fortunate enough

to be a part of the Eagle tradition. It became a way of life.

No matter what obstacles I have ever faced, I have relied on the principles learned here to guide me through. I hope that everybody in attendance today realizes the rich history that we all share from those who came before us.”

Approximately 800 current students, politicians, alumni

and their former Coaching Staff joined Aldridge Jr. and Brigance in celebrating this honor.

The Willowridge Eagle Band, Cheer Squad and Faculty gave rousing performances of the players favorite chants and songs reminding them of their “Class and Character” days at Willowridge High.
