Bill Smith appeared to answer any ques- <br />tions. There was no one present to speak against this <br />rezoning. <br /> <br />D. Lots 9, 10 and 13 through 24, Block 327 - Decker McKim. <br />Mr. McKim was present to answer questions from the Council. <br /> <br />Council brought out the fact that there are several single <br />family residences in the immediate area of these lots. It <br />was stated that this project would cause excessive truck <br />traffic in a predominantly residential area. <br /> <br />McKim stated he felt this entire area should be zoned Indus- <br />trial to take care of the supporting Port business. He <br />stated there are 11 blocks of land between the railroad, <br />Barbour's Cut Boulevard and 146 that are being utilized or <br />will be for this same purpose. He stated if this property <br />is not rezoned it would be selective zoning, since there <br />are similar projects in the immediate area. This project <br />will be a way station for trucks that cannot get into the <br />Port. The trailer will be left here on this property and <br />a smaller truck called a pony will carry it on into the Port <br />when it was open. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />The Joint Public Hearing adjourned at 7:55 P.M. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Mayor Meza called to order the Regular Meeting of the La Porte <br />City Council. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Council considered the minutes of the August 5, 1981, Regular <br />Meeting of the La Porte City Council. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Councilperson Kibodeaux to approve the <br />minutes as presented.
