Chairman <br />Re: Wharton Weems Estate lands <br />lying in the City of LaPorte, Texas. <br />Gentlemen: <br />We are in receipt of your letter dated January 5, 1.968, relative to the <br />adoption by the LaPorte City Commission of the New Zoning Ordinance <br />as recommended by the City of LaPorte Planning and Zoning Commis-~ <br />lion. <br />• We would appreciate Blocks appearing on the attached map, colored in <br />red, lying north of "M" Street be zoned as commercial,. Please note <br />that the land lying east of these Blocks is to be zoned commercial and <br />the property lying west is to be zoned industrial. <br />We further request that the land Iying south of "M" Street, east of 16th <br />Street, west of Little Cedar Bayou and north of "O" Street, shown on <br />said map as colored in yellow, be left temporarily ~n:~o"~ed. This land <br />is in acreage and we are the only owners affected, It adjoins some <br />600 acres also owned by the Weems Estate that we are trying to sell <br />and we do not know what use abuyer-developer might plan for this area. <br />Light lndustrial or Commercial development in this area would provide <br />jobs and additional Tax Revenue and should therefore be left open for <br />the time being. However, if this is not possible, we would prefer to <br />have this area zoned commercial. <br />F CWlmlg <br />encl. <br />cc: Mr. Jon Thorwaldson <br />Mr. Ralph Atmar <br />Yours very truly, <br />WHARTON WEEMS ESTATE <br />F.
