respectfully petitions the City Council of the City of La Porte, Texas (the "City"), for its
written consent to the creation of a municipal utility district and would show the
following:
I.
The name of the proposed District shall be HARRIS COUNTY MUNICIPAL
UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 561 (the "District").
II.
The District shall be created and organized under the terms and provisions of
Article XVI,Section 59 of the Constitution of Texas and Chapters 49 and 54,Texas Water
Code, together with all amendments and additions thereto.
III.
The District shall contain an area of 234.686 acres of land,more or less, situated in
Harris County, Texas. All of the land proposed to be included within the District is
within the corporate limits of the City. All of the land proposed to be included may
properly be included in the District. The land proposed to be included within the District
is described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all
purposes (the "Property").
IV.
Prior to applying to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for creation
of the District, the Petitioner will hold fee simple title to the Property. The Petitioner
hereby represents that the Petitioner will own a majority in value of the Property prior to
applying to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for creation of the District,
as indicated by the certificates of ownership to be provided by the Harris County
Appraisal District.
V.

688550_2
VI.
L e Pointe at La Port, Inc. has entered into an earnest money contract to purchase
some of the Land and desires to be considered as a Petitioner for the consent to creation
of the District.
VII.
The general nature of the work proposed to be done by the District at the present
time is the purchase, design, construction, acquisition, maintenance, ownership,
operation, repair, improvement and extension of a waterworks and sanitary sewer
system for residential and commercial purposes, and the construction, acquisition,
improvement, extension, maintenance and operation of works, improvements, facilities,
plants, equipment and appliances helpful or necessary to provide more adequate
drainage for the District, and to control, abate and amend local storm waters or other
harmful excesses of waters, and such other purchase, construction, acquisition,
maintenance, ownership, operation, repair, improvement and extension of such
additional facilities, including roads, parks and recreation facilities, systems, and
enterprises as shall be consistent with all of the purposes for which the District is created

VIII.
There is,for the following reasons, a necessity for the above-described work. The
area proposed to be within the District is urban in nature,is within the growing environs
of the City, and is in close proximity to populous and developed sections of Harris
County, Texas. There is not now available within the area, which will be developed for
single family residential, multifamily, and commercial uses, an adequate waterworks
system, sanitary sewer system, or drainage and storm sewer system, or roads, or parks
and recreational facilities. The health and welfare of the present and future inhabitants
of the area and of the territories adjacent thereto require the purchase, design,
construction,acquisition,ownership,operation,repair,improvement and extension of an
adequate waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, and drainage and storm sewer
system,roads,or parks and recreational facilities. A public necessity,therefore,exists for
the creation of the District, to provide for the purchase, design,construction,acquisition,
maintenance, ownership, operation, repair, improvement and extension of such
waterworks system,sanitary sewer system,and drainage and storm sewer system,roads,
and parks and recreational facilities to promote the purity and sanitary condition of the
