• <br /> <br />City of La Porte <br />Zoning Ordinance <br />July 13, 1981 <br />Page 2 <br />Mr. Malone compared the proposed building code with those of some <br />of the sections of La Porte, which as I now understand the <br />requirements, the construction of such housing is from 800 square <br />feet on up. I certainly do not wish to hart the feelings of any <br />citizen, but if one should look as the houses around the City Hall <br />of La Porte, one would find that many of these dwellings are run <br />down, and in many cases have been patched up over the years. Quite <br />frankly, if these homes are placed in the City of Houston, they <br />would in all honesty possibly be classified as slum dwellings. <br />We would face the same conditions here, as such a home would <br />probably be built on a basic slab on lots that would have an <br />elevation which would permit flooding, such as we now see on 26th <br />street. <br />On the basis of the above comments, I urge the City Council <br />to retain the deed restrictions as they now are, and not make it <br />difficult for those of us who have spent considerable moneys in <br />building reasonably nice homes in this sub-division which are, in <br />• most cases, on heavy floating slabs and placed upon lots which <br />dirt has been brought in to assure that flooding would not occur. <br />My own home has never had any problem with water coming in from <br />rains, because it was properly planned in the beginning. <br />I request that this letter be read into the minutes of this meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
