<br />Joel, as you are aware, we have tried very hard to rrotect our <br />homes from the obvious detrimental effects of the buildings proposed <br />by the Couchs, while at the same time not get involved in a <br />neighborhood feud. We have on several occasions agreed to meet with <br />the Couchs to express our concerns to them directly to no avail. <br />The belligerence demonstrated by Mr. Couch is difficult for us to <br />understand. Surely they must realize that we are very much effected <br />by his actions and have a right, and duty, to oppose his proposed <br />project. For him to take the position that 'l">le are not going to <br />tell him what to do with his property' is unreasonable and <br />counterproductive to a final resolution. We have no option but to <br />continue to oppose the proposed construction, but we are in the <br />hopes that the City will some day recognize that we too are tax <br />payers and should be considered in the deliberations. I only wish <br />the City would expended just a small portion of the time and energy <br />already committed on behalf of the Blackwells, et. al. to fulfill <br />the promises made to us many years ago, such as 'promptly providing <br />the residents of 'H' Street with city services commensurate with the <br />other residents of La Porte (specifically the area known as Lomax) <br />at the same cost to us as paid by the other residents (set <br />connection fees, no additional cost to the 'H' Street residents for <br />construction cost, etc.). Unfortunately the city has once again <br />ignored the rights and concerns of the longtime residents of 'H' <br />Street. <br /> <br />When the construction of Creekmont resulted in a loss of <br />drainage from the back of our properties, Mr. Joernes promised to <br />rectify the problem by having Park & Smyers, the contractor for <br />Creekmont, to construct an "inverted swell" to provide adequate <br />drainage to protect our properties. When this rromised "inverted <br />swell" became a small shallow ditch we were upset. Upset for once <br />again being "misled" by the City, and upset over the possibility of <br />our properties flooding. But I became angry when Mr. Joernes' <br />response to our concerns was 'if you flood, sue us'. 1 once again <br />feel that anger, we are truly the forgotten, abused captives of the <br />City. <br /> <br />Reiterating my previous correspondence, I would appreciate <br />being kept informed of all developments regarding this permit <br />application. It is our intention to pursue this matter by all legal <br />means, so notification of any action is necessary. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Gary l.J.
