<br />Page 3 <br />Minutes of November 21, 1991 <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br /> <br />Until HCFCD requirements can be met, the Developer would like the assurance <br />that the lot layout and street pattern would basically remain in it's present state. <br /> <br />Mter listening to the presentation, the Commission expressed their intention to work <br />with the Developer in an attempt to resurrect this subdivision. <br /> <br />5) DISCUSS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN FOR LOUISIANA CHEMICAL <br />COMPANY, 11100 OLD LA PORTE ROAD <br /> <br />John Armstrong dismisses himself from the meeting due to a conflict of interest. <br /> <br />Mr. Joerns addressed the Commission. <br /> <br />Louisiana Chemical is located at 10600 Highway 225 and consists of approximately <br />25 acres. Note: This area lies in the F101 Watershed. One half of the area is <br />already developed and houses a warehouse, offices, and equipment. The other half <br />is undeveloped and it is their intention to develop it into a large laydown yard. <br /> <br />Previously, the City of La porte and HCFCD entered into an interlocal agreement. <br />A master drainage plan was prepared and accepted for this watershed. At present, <br />improvements to the F101 Watershed have not been completed. <br /> <br />A plat was submitted to the HCFCD by Carlos Smith representing Louisiana <br />Chemical. Final approval of the plat was not received. Mter resubmitting, HCFCD <br />required coordination with the City of La Porte and the F101 Master Watershed <br />Plan which could result in dedication of the onsite channel for future use as a public <br />stormwater easement. <br /> <br />A possible solution could be to ask Louisiana Chemical to consider the 50 ft. being <br />utilized for a channel to be available for a public stormwater drainage easement in <br />the future. This 50 ft. for the interim and the future could serve as the 50 ft. <br />setback required between R-1 zones and industrial developments as required by the <br />Zoning Ordinance. This item would have to be reviewed and approved by the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission when the Major Development Site Plan is <br />considered. The City and Louisiana Chemical would need to agree on how to deal <br />with the interim situation where the benefit is to Louisiana Chemical and the long <br />term situation when public need is identified. <br />
