The City of La Porte has been petitioned by Chaparral Group, Inc., to close, vacate, and abandon the East
"L. Street Right-of-Way between Blocks 1121 and 1160, Town of La Porte (see Exhibit A of Ordinance _

per the ordinance, "Fair market value shall be considered seventy-five percent (15%) ofthe value as
detennined by such independent appraisal". The applicant has subsequently remitted payment to the City
in the amount of $20,748.

Staff recommends closing, vacating, and abandoning the East "L" Street Right-of-Way as shown on Exhibit
MA" to the attached ordinance.
