If the intent is to ensure that containers do not become eyesores which detract from area <br />property values, you need to specifically address that issue. I believe we have a uniform <br />building code which could be modified for that specific purpose. It is simply not right to <br />judge something based on what it is referred to, without giving the opportunity to <br />transform it into what it will become. Remember this is only one component not a <br />finished product, hence the need for a permit. <br />If you would like us to submit plans of what is intended, we are in favor of that. We will <br />submit plans for both the building and the fence that will completely obscure the finished <br />storage building from public view. If you want to impose realistic time limits, that will be <br />acceptable as well. <br />As you can tell we are trying to work with the City of La Porte to ease concerns, but <br />please also understand that we are responsible property owners. <br />We do not appreciate being portrayed, on the front page of our local newspaper, as <br />someone trying to pull one over on the City staff. We ask that you rule in our favor to <br />allow the container to stay on our property.. <br />Sincerely, <br />W. O. and Carol Childs <br />911 East "M <br />LaPorte, TX 77571 <br />
