David Hyde, 324 Spencer Landing, La Porte,Texas; this proposed location is right across the street from his neighborhood and any hazardous cargo will put citizens at risk. Ann Sullivan, 10537 Spencer Landing, La Porte,Texas; she was also worried about possible hazardous materials being brought into that yard. Rita Jordan, 332 Spencer Landing, East La Porte;Texas spoke in opposition against the wrecker service because it would ruin the aesthetic of the area. Rich Dent, 205 Spencer Landing, West La Porte;Texas spoke in opposition of the proposal because many teenagers use Spencer to get to the high school and that an 18 wheeler will not be hidden by an eight foot high fence. Bobby Slocum, 10839 Mulberry, La Porte,Texas; spoke in opposition of the proposal as he owns a towing service and there is not enough work in La Porte to require another company. William Dickerson, 327 Spencer Landing East, La Porte, Texas; spoke in opposition of the wrecker yard because the surrounding area is under developed and if they were to allow that wrecker service then it would set the tone for the rest of the developments in the area. Daniel Large, 201 Jaime Court, La Porte, Texas; spoke in opposition because he thought a wrecker yard would significantly diminish the appearance of the area. Grace McDuffy, 243 Bayside Crossing Drive, La Porte,Texas; spoke in opposition as there are already too many trucks on Spencer Highway and she does not feel safe driving around so many trucks. Kwayne Landin, 10421 N.Ave. H St., La Porte,Texas; spoke in opposition as a representative of the Bayshore Baptist Church. He did not believe a wrecker yard would make sense in that area, especially when further east along Spencer you have available property in a more industrial area. Katie Aginoscio 3106 Eagles Nest Drive, La Porte,Texas; spoke in opposition because it would negatively affect her new home's value.
