<br />. <br /> <br />. <br />9U7 Hilckbcrry Avel1ue <br />L~ Porte, Te~as 77571 <br />April 22, 1989 <br /> <br />EHXIBIT A <br /> <br />The Mayor ~nd Members of City Council <br />City of Ln Porte <br />P.O. Dox 1 11 5 <br />La Porte, Texas 77572-1115 <br /> <br />Bay~'1UD Zoninq <br /> <br />On April 13, I vlrote you a letter requesting that former <br />BayMUD be classified as R1 Low Density Residential. Since <br />then, I attended both workshops held by the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission and conducted a meeting of the Shady <br />River Civic Association, at which the subject of zoning <br />was discussed. In the interest of preserving and improv- <br />ing property values, I once again request that the for- <br />mer BayMUD area be classified as R1, recognizing that <br />some Neighborhood Commercial (N.C.) is desirable. Specific <br />comments are: <br /> <br />e The area to the west of Shady River is now planned <br />to be Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.). The fear <br />of the unknown plays a part here. Not having exper- <br />ience with P.U.D., we must stick with our request <br />for R1. The Zoning Classi.fication Explanations <br />sheet states that "a proposed P.U.D. must be com- <br />pat~ble with the underlying land use designation <br />. ....11 Perhaps, if the zoning maps or papers were <br />specfic that the underlying use for this land was <br />in fact R1, our fears would be allayed. <br /> <br />· The area north of Shady River is planned to be R2. <br />This is choice 'wooded area that butts directly <br />agains t Shady River, and R 1 would seem to be the <br />ideal classification for future development. <br /> <br />· When one enters the former BayMUD area, he encoun- <br />ters a maze of visual delights, such as a few beer <br />joints, a delapitated, former roller rink, an <br />abandoned gas station and the like--- not much of <br />an impression for a prospective home buyer who <br />would like to live in La Porte. Again in the in- <br />terest of preserving and improving property values, <br />we request that both sides of old 146 be classified <br />Rl. Some N.C. is desirable- the area on the east <br />side of 146 now proposed as N.C. would seem suf- <br />ficient. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincer/! y~~ <br /> <br />James R. #,l:r <br />President, Shady River <br />Civic Association <br /> <br />cc Planning and Zoning Commission <br />
