• • • Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting La Porte City Council January 20, 1982, Page 2 Faris: Mr. Mayor, the last time we discussed this in work- shop, I had asked Mr. Angel if he intended to put a greenbelt around the entire yard, and I really didn't get an answer at that time. Since he is here in the audience, T would like to ask the question again. Angel: Gus, if a container yard goes in out there, yes, I will put a greenbelt in. Skelton: That's covered in the ordinance, I believe. Faris: Are we not rezoning this piece of property for a con- tainer yard? Meza: A truck terminal, I understood. Angel: A truck terminal is what's really what's going out there on this piece of land, but as of right now I do not have a lease on this piece of land. I thought at one time that I did have, but today I don't have. T'm still working on it. • I don't know if it's going to be a container yard today or not. Skelton: Will this be rented to a truck terminal? Angel: Well, what y'all call a truck terminal and container yard I think is two different things. It's going to be a truck terminal like Central Freight Line is out there. It's going to have your chassis out there with a container on it; they stay overnight or two or three days and they're gone. That's not a container yard as far as I'm concerned. But y'all say it is, but it"s not. Skelton: I'm not saying one way or the other. I'm asking a question. It will not be a repair place. Angel: No, it will not be a repair place. Faris: What happens if you don't get the lease on it? Angel: I still am requesting it be rezoned to industrial land; that's what it should be anyway. What's going to happen, I'm going to lose my money, that's all. I just don't lease it, period, not to these people, it don't look like. Faris: Do you own the property? • Angel: Yes, I do.
