r1 <br />LI <br />Minutes, Public Hearing <br />La Porte City Council <br />March 12, 1990, Page 8 <br />and Regular Meeting <br /> <br />23. Council considered approving a utility extension across <br />Underwood Road to serve a 9.26 acre tract of land in Deer <br />Park, Texas. <br />Motion was made by Councilt~erson Porter to approve the utility <br />extension across Underwood Road. Second by Councilperson <br />Matuszak. <br />During discussion, it was brought out that several businesses <br />in the location involved had tied into the existing four-inch <br />sewer line without permission from the city. This has caused <br />an overload on the existing line. Another business wishes to <br />tie in to the overloaded line. A six-inch line would <br />alleviate the problem. Several Councilpersons felt that since <br />there are citizens in La Porte who still do not have sewer <br />service, and since the businesses are located in Deer Park, <br />the problem needs to be addressed by Deer Park. <br />Councilperson Matuszak withdrew his second to the motion to <br />approve. and Councilperson Porter withdrew his motion. <br />Motion was made by Councilperson McLaughlin to deny the <br />utility extension across Underwood Road.
