• Ms. Cherie Black City Secretary City of LaPorte LaPorte, Texas 77571 Dear Ms. Black: 300 Champions Drive, Apt. 1001 Lufkin, Texas 75901 February 5, 1985 Am asking that the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council of LaPorte to please consider my request to rezone my piece of land in Spenwick Place Addition that faces Spencer Highway from residential to commercial. The legal description of these lots are Tracts fVos. 111, 112, and 113 of Block PJo. 7, of SPENI;IICK PLACE, Section 1, a subdivision in the t~Iilliam M. Jones Survey, Harris County, Texas, according to the map or plat thereof recorded in the Deed P.ecords of IVarris County, Texas. 'rJe bought this land in the 1950's, over thirty years ago, for an investment and paid them out. 41e have paid taxes to the City, County and Schools of LaPorte and also for the San Jacinto College all this time. These lots are really not suited for residential being on the busy highway and businesses have filled about every space on the east and west side of my property with a large shopping center in the same • block on Underwood and Spencer Highway. I am enclosing a copy of the Deed on Lots 112 and 113, which was recorded in Volume 3917, page 534, Geed Records of Harris County, Texas. I am enclosing a copy of the Contract of Sale on Lot 111 as the deed for this has been misplaced. I can obtain a copy of the deed if it is necessary. The Harris County Appraisal District has set the market value of these lots too high for residential purpc~~s since they amount to just under $2,000.00 for taxation. Even though I'm well over age 65, I cannot apply for any exemptions because it is vacant land; therefore, I am requesting your consideration to rezone this property and am enclosing a check in the amount of X100 to cover applica~t'ion fee. Thank you. Sincerely yours, rte:--- Mrs. M. D. Collette ~.~
