Box 12276 <br /> Austin, TX 78711 -2276 <br /> Attention: Mark Wolfe, State Historic Preservation Officer <br /> Subject: State Archeological Landmark Nominations, Sylvan Beach Pavilion, <br /> La Port, Harris County, Texas <br /> Dear Mr. Wolfe: <br /> We have received your letter dated 27 September 2010 and have grave concerns over <br /> the fiscal impact which would occur if Sylvan Beach Pavilion, La Porte is designated as <br /> a State Archeological Landmark. We have reviewed the Texas Antiquities Code and <br /> feel that the burden of limiting qualified architects, engineers and contractors as well as <br /> time delays will put the restoration project in danger. <br /> We are currently preparing phase one drawings for submittal to the Texas Historic <br /> Commission for the initial foundation stabilization and seawater infiltration prevention <br /> plan. Phase two plans propose a restoration with a Texas Department of Rural Affairs <br /> Hurricane Ike Recovery Grant. The grant funds will be used to repair, restore and <br /> preserve the pavilion. These grant funds are limited and have a short expiration date. <br /> We respectfully request the designation be disapproved or delayed until the restoration <br /> grant program is complete. We do intend to work closely with the Texas Historic <br /> Commission on this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> P• <br /> Judge • Emmett <br /> County Judge <br /> CC: Commissioner Jack Mormon <br /> John R.
