Jack Alarid of Tillson Built Somes, appeared in behalf of T~qr. F. T". Baldwin the owner of a three acre tract on the Bay in the City of La Porte in a Class A Zoned section. Mr. Baldwin wants to build a house with two bedrooms and two baths which contains 1053 square feet of living area. He is building (planning) the house within eight feet of the existing sewer line. To build a house corta~gg 1500 square feet he would have to either move the existing sewer or move the entire house ber~ind the sewer line thus destroying the view and reducing the value of his property.
