E <br />• <br />0 <br />• <br />C7 <br />LaPorte City Council <br />c/o Ms. Cherie Black, <br />City of LaPorte <br />LaPorte, Texas 77571 <br />Gentlemen: <br />1400 Esther <br />Lufkin, Texas 75901 <br />December 5, 1985 <br />City Secretary <br />I am asking that the Planning and Zoning Commission and <br />City Council of LaPorte to please consider my request to rezone <br />my property in Spenwick Place Addition that faces Spencer <br />Highway from residential to commercial. <br />The legal description of these lots are Tracts Nos. <br />111, 112, and 113 of Block No. 7, of SPENWICK PLACE, Section 1, <br />a subdivision in the William M. Jones Survey, Harris County, <br />Texas, according to the map or plat thereof recorded in the Deed <br />Records of Harris County, Texas. <br />We bought this land in the 19501s, over thirty years ago, <br />for an investment and paid them out. We have paid taxes to the <br />City, County, and Schools of LaPorte and also for the San Jacinto <br />College all this time. <br />These lots are really not suited for residential as they <br />are on a busy highway and businesses have filled about every <br />space on the east and west side of my property with a large <br />shopping center in the same block on Underwood and Spencer Highway. <br />The Harris County Appraisal District has set the market <br />value of these lots too high for residential purposes since <br />they amount to just under $2,000.00 for taxation. <br />Even though I'm well over age 65, I cannot apply for any <br />exemptions because it is vacant land; therefore, I am requesting <br />your consideration to rezone this property. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Mrs. M. D. Collette <br />
