The City Council of the City of La Porte takes <br /> <br />notice of and hereby makes the following findings of fact relating <br /> <br />to public land and the utilization thereof in connection with Glen <br /> <br />Meadows SUbdivision, to-wit: <br /> <br />. The City Council and the Planning and Zoning commission of the <br />City of La Porte have heretofore approved the final plat of <br />Glen Meadows, section Two, said plat being dated April 3, <br />1979, which plat is recorded in Volume 288, Page 108, Harris <br />County Map Records. <br /> <br />. Said final plat includes a dedication to the pUblic of a <br />parksi te containing 7.715 acres, a substantial portion of <br />which was subject to existing and proposed aerial easements <br />for the City of La Porte Municipal Airport. <br /> <br />. The Planning and Zoning commission of the City of La Porte, at <br />its meeting on December 17, 1992, approved a General Plan for <br />the undeveloped portion of Glen Meadows SUbdivision, amending <br />the original General Plan which was originally approved on <br />March 28, 1977. <br /> <br />. The Harris County Flood Control District, subsequent to <br />approval of the original General Plan, but prior to approval <br />of the amended General Plan for Glen Meadows, promulgated <br />rules and regulations requiring detention of storm water <br />runoff, and further requiring detention facilities on <br />undeveloped land as part of the subdivision platting process. <br /> <br />. As part of the amended General Plan, the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission of the City of La Porte noted that the City of La <br />Porte Municipal Airport was in the process of planning a <br />runway extension, which said extension would require that the <br />Farrington Boulevard extension be adjusted in a westerly <br />direction. <br /> <br />. The City of La Porte Thoroughfare Plan, adopted by the <br />Planning and Zoning commission and City Council on January 26, <br />1987, also provided for the relocation of Farrington to the <br />west, and the joining of Farrington with Lomax School Road, <br />with the resultant street being designated as a major <br />thoroughfare on said Plan. Said thoroughfare would have and <br />will dissect the original 7.715 acre park heretofore retained. <br />
