Box 1115 <br />LaPorte, Texas 77572-1115 <br />Re: Amendment to the Special Conditional Use Permit for the <br />Former ICN Facility at 502 North Broadway <br />Dear Mr. Lewis: <br />The former ICN facility on North Broadway was foreclosed on by the real estate <br />mortgage holders and is now owned by those lenders, John Hancock Insurance Company <br />and Rabobank Nederland. Our firm represents the owners in the marketing of this <br />property for sale and lease. The refrigerated/freezer warehouse portion of the facility has <br />been leased to Associated Freezers Inc. Associated's lease did not include the area <br />designated on the attached exhibit as the Truck Yard and Container Staging Area. As we <br />discussed, ICN's plan envisioned a fully integrated business that included a trucking <br />operation. It was that trucking operation that necessitated the need for a separate truck <br />yard. However, that plan is contrary to the industry norm. Virtually all warehouse <br />operators depend on unrelated carriers and do not attempt to maintain a fleet of their <br />own. Therefore, our request for the Amendment to the Special Conditional Use Permit is <br />to allow a lease of the area designated for truck operations to an outside operator. The <br />proposed lessee already operates a facility approximately 500 yards from this location <br />and, therefore, we would not expect any type of changes in the traffic patterns in the <br />area. Additionally, should Associated or any other user of the warehouse facility find the <br />need for additional truck area, there are several acres of land contiguous with the existing <br />building designated as expansion area that could be utilized for that type of operation. <br />Should you have any additional questions, please give us a call. <br />Yours "truly, <br /> 1?~~- ~ <br /> Robe~arsley - <br /> ---- <br />INDMOUAL MEMBERSHIPS <br />SOCIETY OF <br />1NDU$llUAl AND OFFICE REAlTORS <br />- APPELT, WOMACK, RICKS, HERDER & PARSLEY, INe. m <br />sa;; INDUSTRIAL & COM_MERCIAL PROPERTIES .
