The proposed sections of the subdivision are to be located on the south of North "D" Street, approximately 900 ft. north of Spencer Highway and the east of the Humble (Exxon) Pipeline Company corridor & La Porte Municipal Airport. In October 2000, the La Porte 33, L.L.C., purchased an approximately 20- acre tract of land out of the City's delinquent tax properties. The tract lies between the Pipeline corridor and the Church's property, which stretches up to North D Street. The developer wants to keep one-half of this tract with a front on North D Street as a part of this subdivision. Whereas, he intends to trade the other half with the Church's property along North D Street. The Church's consent with this land development or deal is reflected per their letter dated October 25, 2000 (attached). Section 4.01 of the Development Ordinance No.1444 requires the developer to submit a General Plan to illustrate the general design features of the subdivision, which is to be developed in phases or sections. The Spencer Landing Subdivision has been proposed in phases (Section 3 & 4). If approved, it will be followed by separate Preliminary and Final Plat submittal for each of its Sections 3 and 4. Analysis: As shown on vicinity map exhibit; the subject tracts are within the vicinity of Spencer Landing Sections 1 and 2 and the Bayshore Baptist Church along Spencer Highway. The access to the subdivision will be from North D Street. The plan has been phased in two sections with a total of 73 lots of single-family residential dwellings. The plan also includes one restricted reserve for detention facility and storm sewer lift station.
