Drainage of the Property will be designed by a qualified civil engineer and the written plans and specifica- tions therefor shall be submitted for prior approval to the Harris County Flood Control District or the City Engineer of the City of LaPorte. While reclassification of the zoning classification of the Property may not in any event be required and is not required for certain of the uses proposed by the Company, the Company has submitted this Petition to allow LaPorte to consider the sensible planned development of the Property. The Company believes that the requested reclassification of the Property will allow, among other developments, office, office/warehouse, distribution and service center buildings (with rail-service available) to be developed, as well as promote orderly growth in LaPorte and the attendant increase in business and community prosperity, employment and payrolls by permitting adequate rail service to existing and future industries and businesses. Given the location of the Property in relation to commercial transport routes and the important role of the area, including the LaPorte, Texas area, in local, national and international trade, the requested reclassification would encourage the most appropriate uses for the Property. In acting favorably upon this Petition to reclassify the zoning classification of the Property and upon the Company's ;pending Application to close various areas of land designated as "streets", an orderly and better use of the Property will be permitted, consistent with the trend;- in this area of LaPorte toward increased commercial and industrial usage.
