<br />LaUlel Industries, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 1516. 7805. 16th 51. <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Phone: (713) 471-1731 <br />Fax: (713) 471-9175 <br /> <br />Laurel Industries <br /> <br />July 29, 1992 <br /> <br />PURPOSE OF VARIANCE REQUEST <br /> <br />Laurel Industries business has grown during the nine years of <br />it's existence to become the largest US producer of antimony <br />oxide products. The company continues to grow, and in order to <br />remain a world-wide leader in this business, must expand it's <br />operations to include additional manufacturing, warehousing, and <br />laboratory space to provide value-added services to our <br />customers. Our plan is to construct one building of <br />approximately 11,200 square feet to be used for manufacturing and <br />warehousing; and to construct another building of approximately <br />3700 square feet to include administrative offices, conference <br />room, and laboratory. The administrative building will improve <br />the appearance of our site by permitting us to remove trailers <br />that are currently being used for offices and lab, and will <br />present a more professional appearance to our customers and to <br />the public. This expansion will also require us to hire <br />additional employees to supplement our existing workforce, and <br />the total expenditure is estimated at $4,000,000. <br /> <br />Antimony oxide is a fine white inorganic chemical powder that is <br />mainly used to make plastics fire retardant, and in the man made <br />fiber industry as a catalyst. <br /> <br />Both the proposed manufacturing and office building set backs and <br />lot coverage will blend in with the existing buildings on our <br />street. We will have adequate space for parking and truck <br />movement. <br /> <br />100180 <br />
