Minutes of 11/17/88 Meeting Page 2 s Out of these planning efforts came the request from Harris County Flood Control to plan for the drainage of about 300 acres that was land-locked north of Spencer Hwy, through the Bay Area Blvd. project by putting a channel down the middle of the road similar to the channel by the Bay Area Park. This would require an additional 50 foot right-of-way for a total right-of-way width of 200 feet and 150 foot drainage area. During the years that followed Harris County Flood Control and PPG worked on an agreement for the additional 50 foot right-of-way and the 150 foot drainage without the assistant of the City of La Porte. This summer (1988) the City of La Porte got involved again because we had needs relating to the LPAWA and it looked like a good route to deliver water to our storage facilities and water plant. We opened discussion again with PPG, which resulted in the letter of July 1, 1988 that is in the packet. Our current status on Bay Area Blvd. right-of-way is that the description and design are complete. Still to be dealt with is the funding deficit, if we build the road as invisioned (4 lanes and separate with the appropriate drainage), the additional requirement of the 50 foot road right-of-way and the 150 foot east/west drainage right-of-way. • Joel Albrecht briefly went over with the Commission the things which had taken place in past meeting with PPG, starting in 1986 when the Planning & Zoning Commission got involved in the various meetings concerning the land use plan and eventually the zoning map. ~,~gust 1~{, 1986 meeting: The staff proposed the area of PPG Commercial and Business Industrial all the way to Fairmont. Where Magna Flow is, staff recommended Business Industrial. On 146 and the southside of Fairmont by the railroad track is all Planned Unit Development except for the Commercial where Fairport Green Shopping Center is built. (Exhibit F in packet) ~u~ust 21, 1986 meeting: Zoning Ordinance precludes any plant, such as PPG, being built in La Porte because it is an organic chemical plant. Their area is not zoned, but will be put on a land use plan. Between Bay Area Blvd, and PPG, is zoned Light Industrial on the land use plan. The area on the west side is an R-3 area, staff is going to propose this area as Light Industrial on the east side of Bay Area Blvd. and R-2 and R-3 on the west side. (Exhibit G in packet)
