• <br />• <br />Tvtinutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />January 23, 1989, Page 2 <br />5. The following persons addressed Council: <br />A. Guy Sutherland - P4r. Sutherland addressed Council to <br />request that "L" Street be renamed "Pasadena <br />Boulevard", since it is actually an extension of that <br />street. He feels it would alleviate some of the <br />confusion when trying to give directions or when people <br />are driving into La Porte and the street name suddenly <br />changes. <br />B. Sandi Norris, representing Galveston Bay Conservation <br />and Preservation Association, addressed Council <br />regarding a problem on the north bank of Bayport cut on <br />January 15. A separation unit had been transported <br />into the city and parked it at the dead-end on Old <br />Highway 146. The unit was unmarked, with no warning <br />signs or flags displayed. The next day it was unloaded <br />onto wooden sledges and put onto a barge. Ms. Norris <br />felt that community notice should have been given, due <br />to the unit having to pass over high-pressure <br />pipelines. She appeared before Council to make them <br />aware that this act was in violation of the agreement <br />rnade between the original developers of the Bay Port <br />Cut and the community. She asked for help to protect <br />the community from industrial incursion. <br />C. Dr. Caroline Brooks-Davis, representing Shady Oaks <br />Addition, addressed Council regarding the separation <br />unit incident. She protested the use of Old Highway <br />146 as a loading dock, and asked for some sort of <br />action frorn Council to guarantee that their <br />neighborhood not become a barge-loading area. She had <br />taken pictures at the site and passed them for Council <br />to see. <br />D. Henry Veltkamp addressed Council regarding rumors that <br />the Bay Port industries, Houston Port Authority, want <br />to buy the north side (of the Bay Port channel). He <br />stated that since the annexation, appraisal prices on <br />homes in his area have gone down. He stated that the <br />Port Authority had promised a green line of <br />approximately 250 feet from the channel to the fence <br />line; this line has deteriorated to the point where <br />there is approximately 150 feet of green line. He <br />stated that they can't get anything done by the Port <br />
