,._~ RECEIV <br />® • , <br />COMM. DEV. <br />• 1002 Hollow Tree Avenue <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />April 11, 1989 <br />Mayor Norman Malone and <br />Members of the La Porte City Council <br />City Hall <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Mayor Malone and Council Members: <br />Over three months have gone by since our Shady River Addition <br />(formerly a subdivision within the Bayshore Municipal Utility <br />District) became part of La Porte. <br />For some months previous to January 1, 1989 my husband and I, <br />as well as most of our neighbors, loo}red forward with anticipation <br />to being a part of the city which has always been the base for <br />our activities. These past months we have not been disappointed: <br />your services, such as new street signs, trash and garbage pickup, <br />street sweeping, and good surveillance by your police department, <br />dependable ambulance service (we can vouch personally for that <br />experience); and k~zowing our fire protection has increased, have <br />all given us a sense of well being. We thank you. <br />Just recently, however, we discovered to our dismay that new <br />• trailers were being brought into the former BayMUD area. This was <br />after the assurance at public meetings by the La Porte City <br />officials that no NEW trailers would be brought into the area <br />after December 31, 1989. It was also stated that those already <br />here would be "grandfathered," but could not be handed on to new <br />owners or tenants. <br />We understand that one of the goals set out by the City of La <br />Porte recently is to enhance the present environment within its <br />boundaries so as to attract more of the employees of the companies <br />now here or~'planning to work here so that they would not leave the <br />community to purchase their homes. Faced with the option of <br />investing their money in a strictly residential area such as are <br />found closer to Clear Lake, or buying property close to a trailer <br />settlement, one need not guess at their choice! <br />We as}: that you keep your commitment to us, and not downgrade <br />property values in our and other similar additions. <br />M inc~ly~ .. <br />( s.
