<br />, MINUTES OF DISTRICT 4 L HALL MEETING OF THE CITY OF.PORTE <br />January 6, 2005 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Mary McLain of 128 South 161h Street suggested having culverts citywide (to lessen health <br />issues), and asked what the cost would be. Would this be funded by the city, county or both; and <br />would only a certain percentage of ditches be covered. Note: the developer and buyer pay for <br />culverts on the west side. <br /> <br />Ron Frobenius of 1107 East E Street, La Porte, Texas is not able to mow the ditch due to the <br />slope; the ditch is cut straight down. <br /> <br />Barbara Norwine of202 South Lobit, La Porte, Texas claims the comer of Main and Lobit is <br />never dry. <br /> <br />Bobby Schlenk of 620 South 4th Street, La Porte, Texas commented that Main Street at Iowa by <br />Rolefs cannot mow due to the ground being too wet; because the fire hydrant is leaking. <br /> <br />Low land, ditches and trees breed mosquitoes. District 4 new areas have curbs and gutters. What <br />is the selective criteria? <br /> <br />7. Discussion of Redevelopment of Main Street <br /> <br />Frances Robb of5102 Creekview Drive, La Porte, Texas asked where Main Street is located in <br />La Porte. <br /> <br />Another citizen is concerned if this would be a duplicate of old Bay town. Ifso, the citizen <br />suggests no to the revitalization program. <br /> <br />A citizen stated there are letters not in favor ofa sixth alley behind JJ's, and it is questionable if <br />they could get a building permit, one lot has been sold. <br /> <br />Nazar Momin of 904 West Barbours Cut, La Porte, Texas questioned what is going to be on Main <br />Street. <br /> <br />A citizen suggested some painting is needed on Main Street. <br /> <br />The question was asked what area covers Main Street. <br /> <br />The moratorium permits and maintenance issues were discussed. <br /> <br />Another question was asked regarding redevelopment of shops. <br /> <br />Mrs. Brenda Brown stated that Main Street drainage is poor, with standing water in the gutters. <br /> <br />Should we notify Police to locate speeders, if we know their location and address. Speed bumps <br />are needed on Lobit and Nugent; can the rules be bypassed? There needs to be more patrol on <br />State Street Side. <br /> <br />Architecture needs to be consistent on Main Street. <br /> <br />2000 South 2nd Street, 400 South 1 sl Street and Virginia have slow drainage; septic sewers need to <br />be checked. <br /> <br />Main Street information needs to be detailed in the newspaper for the citizens. <br /> <br />8.
