Box 1115 <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br />Attn: Board of Adjustments c/o City Secretary <br />We are requesting the board to grant Process Products permission <br />to exceed the new 20 foot building line. This wculd allow them <br />to create a new facade on their existing building. Since their <br />existing buildings were built according the building lines of 10 <br />feet, set at the time of there construction in 1984. There is a <br />need to extend to this area again in order to cover. up and <br />enhance the building as it exists. <br />The main reason for remodeling the building is to create a more <br />aesthetic environment in the neighborhood. The buildings that <br />exist were all built at different times and are different styles. <br />The new propcsal would try to harmonize the buildings by making <br />• them the same style and character. This would be accomplished by <br />erecting a building similar to .the larger existing building. <br />This building wculd be built right over the top of the existing <br />building that does not conform in style and appearance, thus <br />concealing it and making both structures similar in <br />appearance. This could be done by only exceeding the exisiting <br />structure by about one foot. This would allow the new building to <br />cover the old one. Also, to make the building more harmoneuos to <br />the neighborhood environment, a new brick facade would be placed <br />over the existing metal. This would reduce the scale cf the <br />building and create a more residential appearance. <br />The new space needed by process Products could be accomplished by <br />simply erecting a building at the back of the existing building. <br />However., this would not change the appearance of the existing <br />buildings and further. create a conglomeration of buildings far less <br />appealing to the neighbor.hcod than the new structure a~ it is <br />proposed. Even though this approach would be far. less costly to <br />Process Products they have elected to spend the additional money <br />and create a more pleasant environment for everyone. It is our <br />hope the board will agree with this thought and allow process <br />Products to improve the building they already have even though it <br />does extend past the new building line. <br />• <br />
