RE: Street and Alley Closing
Dear Mr. Herrera:
As you know, I am trying to meet the needs of a client of mine who desires to develop in La Porte.
I already have submitted a street and alley closing application with the City's Planning Department.
I wish to close North 5th Street from West Barbour's Cut Boulevard to North "H" Street and the
remnants of the alley between North 5th Street and North 4th Street.
Due to the needs of my client, I wish to proceed at this time without knowing what the City will
charge me for this street and alley closing. I agree that I will pay 75% of the fair market value of the
appraisal once the City provides me with a dollar amount in an uncontested manner. I also
understand that City Council has final say on these closures and that I am at risk of having this request
turned down. Should this occur, I will restore the alley and street to a condition that is equal to or
better than how I found it.
I appreciate you working with me on this project.
Sincerely,
BRUCE ANGEL'S ENTERPRISES
