Time table of meeting with the City of La Porte regarding land at the comer of Spencer and Driftwood. The first meeting of the PAC was held on April 7, 2015 at 2pm in a conference room in City Hall.

After we ended the meeting designer Rives made a comment to the Pizzitolas that the meeting was good and that particularly good news resulted. Pizzitolas questioned exactly what that particular good news was and Rives said that no additional retention, drainage, etc. was required for the construction.

Again with that joint shared access from
