C7 CITY OF L FORTE PHONE 1713) 471-5020 • P. O. Box 1115 • LA PORTS, TExAS 77571 u._~• s; • December 2, 1985 RE: Plain View Subdivision North "H" Street Developer - Sonny McKey Engineer - H.

The "Plane View" Subdivision Plat, with variances, was approved by the Lomax Zoning .Commission and sent to the City Council for their consideration. The City Council reviewed all testimony and submissions concerning the subdivision and preliminary plat and gave it their approval. Construction was started but stopped in just a matter of weeks.
