<br />• • <br />~IT~' ®~ ~A FORTE <br />PNONfi (713) 471.54~O • P. O. Box 1115 • LA POFITE, 7fiXAB 77371 <br />July 31, 1973 <br />Mr. George H. Sharp, Jr. <br />1302 W. "J" Street <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Mr. Sharp: <br />~. <br />This letter is written to confirm recent telephone conversations <br />and agreements between yourself, ,as owner of the property on <br />which you reside at 1302 W. "J" Street, La Porte, Texas, and <br />myself and other representatives of the City of La Porte. <br />The City of La Porte recently let a contract for the construction <br />of an 8-inch water line, along the North right-of-way line of "J" <br />Street .(Fairmont Parkway), from New State Highway 146, to the <br />Matheson Gas Products plant on "J" Street next to the Southern <br />Pacific Railroad right-of-way. Your house at 1302 W. "J" Street <br />is located on the North right-of-way of "J" Street. <br />When the City's engineers began to stake out this job for the <br />contractor,~ri.th the proposed route to be approximately four feet <br />south of and parallel to the North right-of-way line of West "J" <br />Street, ,it was discovered that your house extends approximately <br />eight .feet into the right-of-way. This made it necessary to <br />re-route-the proposed water line construction around your house, <br />so that the house itself would not have to be moved, at this time. <br />Of necessity, the water line will be closer to your house than <br />either of us would have desired. However, since it was your <br />request that the water line be routed in this manner, rather than <br />your having to move yourYr~use, and in consideration of the City's <br />doing so, .it was understood and agreed that you would release, and <br />agree to save and hold harmless the City of La Porte from any <br />damages, ,actual or consequential, resulting from the location of <br />the-water line in this manner and proximity to your house. <br /> <br />
