Rev. Joseph A. Koebel, Pastor Page 2 <br />St. Mary's Church 10-26-77 <br />(4) It is our understanding that Mr. H. Carlos Smith, Engineer - <br />Surveyor, has agreed to donate his engineering and survey- <br />ing services at no cost to the City, to improve this <br />portion of Bayshore Drive. <br />(5) The improvement of Bayshore Drive must be completed and <br />opened to traffic, before the City Commission could <br />formally pass its ordinance, officially closing the <br />portion of Katherine Avenue situated within the Church's <br />property. <br />(6) Inasmuch as the City feels that the relative value of the <br />portion of Katherine Avenue, which you seek to have <br />closed, and the new portion of Bayshore Drive, which you <br />would dedicate to the City of La Porte, are approximately <br />the same, there would be a waiver by the City of La Porte <br />of its usual requirement that an appraisal be made of a <br />portion of a street sought to be closed, and that the <br />owner pay 75% of the appraised value to the City. <br />If this meets with your approval, please secure formal approval <br />• by the Good Shepherd Council, the governing body of St. Mary's <br />Church, and advise us of its approval. If the City of La Porte <br />can be of any further assistance, or can provide any further <br />information, please don't hesitate to call. <br />We will look forward to working with St. Mary's Church on this <br />project. <br />Yours very truly, <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />By <br />r Virginia Cline <br />ety Commissioner, <br />o"Sition 3 <br />VC:jm <br />cc: Good Shepherd Council <br />St. Mary's Church <br />816 Park Avenue <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />• Hon. Mayor and City Commissioners t/ <br />City of La Porte <br />P. O. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />
