• • • Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting La Porte City Council, March 3, 1982 Page 5 Westergren: That will take a "Special Use Permit" anyway, isn't that right, Bobby? Blackwell: Yes, he would have to have the property zoned Industrial with a "Special Use Permit" for a railroad spur and warehousing. Meza: Is there any other question concerning this matter? If not, we will go on to the next item on the agenda for our consideration. 4. Mayor Meza stated: The next .item is a request for rezoning submitted by Gus Brieden of the East one-half of Block 1131 from R-2 to Commercial. Is Mr. Brieden present? Will you come forward and state your request? Brieden: The piece of property is on 8th Street, one block south of Fairmont Parkway. The west half of this block is already zoned commercial and there is no access to the block, • so to speak, from the back half without having this front half. Latimer: Is this the piece of property next to Joe Camp Ford? Brieden: No, it would be south of Fairmont, on 8th Street, over by the cemetery. Gay: In other words, it is right back here (motioned south), two blocks over. Brieden: It will be the second block. Westergren: Mr. Brieden, can you tell me how the other blocks, say the block between this block and Fairmont and the one to the south, how the zoning is? Brieden: They are commercial. Westergren: On the east half of those other two blocks, are they commercial? Brieden: O.K. The block on my north side is commercial. The half block on-the west side is commercial. The east side of the block going south is residential. Dale Porter: In the first place, T don't think Mr. Brieden • owns that block yet. He is a long ways off. Before he ever got involved in this thing I said I wanted my money out of it and I haven't got my money yet. I am paying the taxes on it and I want to leave it just like it is.
