Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Sir: <br />By this letter, we make application to the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission for a 1.1' variance in the <br />requirements regarding minimum distance above base <br />flood elevation. This request is for Block 653, La Porte, <br />Tx., also known as 400 N. 16th Street. <br />According to the variance procedures in the ordinance, <br />• we maintain that the levels required in the ordi- <br />nance will render the property unusable for our needs. <br />The height of the finished slab, as required, will <br />not allow us to drive our machines into the pro- <br />posed structure. We have worked closely with the City <br />Engineering Dept. and have concluded that this vari- <br />ance both gives us relief, while maintaining the <br />integrity of the ordinance. <br />Further, we find no reason to suggest that the <br />granting of this variance will result in additional <br />threats to public safety, any public expense, nuisances, <br />causing fraud on or victimization of the public, or <br />conflicts with existing laws or ordinances. <br />Under separate cover, we include a statement from <br />Per. Carlos Smith addressing the effect of this <br />variance upon flood heights. <br />In conclusion, allow me to reiterate, that without <br />this variance, we will be forced to abandon our project. <br />Regards , <br />i~~~~~ ~. <br />• homas C.
