Box 1115 <br />LaPorte, Texas 77572-1115 <br />Re: Amendment to the Special Conditional Use Permit for the <br />Former ICN Facility at 502 North Broadway <br />Deaz Mr. Lewis: <br />The former ICN facility on North Broadway was foreclosed on by the real estate <br />mortgage holders and is now owned by those lenders, John Hancock Insurance Company <br />and Rabobank Nederland. Our firm represents the owners in the marketing of this <br />property for sale and lease. The refrigerated/freezer warehouse portion of the facility has <br />• been leased to Associated Freezers Inc. Associated's lease did not include the azea <br />designated on the attached exhibit as the Truck Yazd and Container Staging Area. As we <br />discussed, ICN's plan envisioned a fully integrated business that included a trucking <br />operation. It was that trucking operation that necessitated the need for a sepazate truck <br />yazd. However, that plan is contrary to the industry norm. Virtually all warehouse <br />operators depend on unrelated carriers and do not attempt to maintain a fleet of their <br />own. Therefore, our request for the Amendment to the Special Conditional Use Permit is <br />to allow a lease of the azea designated for truck operations to an outside operator. The <br />proposed lessee already operates a facility approximately 500 yazds from this location <br />and, therefore, we would not expect any type of changes in the traffic patterns in the <br />area. Additionally, should Associated or any other user of the wazehouse facility find the <br />need for additional truck area, there are several acres of land contiguous with the existing <br />building designated as expansion area that could be utilized for that type of operation. <br />Should you have any additional questions, please give us a call. <br />Yours truly, <br />Gary A. <br />/jc <br />• Enclosure <br />Robe ey <br />ammo ~r~ bias <br />MDU9raMLAN00FHLE lEALTOfla <br />y~~ APPELT, WOMACK, RICKS, HERDER & PARSLEY, INC. <br />5~ ~"JS/ INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES • OFFICE LEASE • LAND DEVELOPMENT • INVESTMENT COUNSELING <br />~- OwneAMcmber COLLIERS intemadoml Property Consultants A E A L i0 A <br />
