Paulissen, City Ins.pector SUBJ ECT: Uncleared lots Oakgrove Block Mrs. Helen McFerren has requested to be heard by Commission regarding several uncleared,lots on Oakgrove Block. On May 5, 1980,. I talked with Mr. Edward Cade, owner of the East ~ of lot 11 and all of lot 12, Oakgrove, the lots in question. Mr. Cades belief is that the City of La Porte has not ho~ored an agreement in which he granted the City a Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drainage Easement, as consideration the City of La Porte was to fill Mr. Cades land with any excess soil and level the property. Mr. Cade allowed me to make a copy of this unsigned document. I talked with Knox Askins, May 6, 1980 and Mr. Askins does not have a signed Document. It is his belief that this document was never signed. I talked also on May 6, 1980 with H. Carlos Smith in reference to this property. Carlos says that the City did indeed put a sanitary sewer and a storm sewer across Mr. Cades' property. Carlos also said that excess fill was dumped and leveled by the City on Mr. Cades property. Carlos said that Cade wanted more fill and he (Cade) had a gentlemans agreement with the street contractor to get more fill. This is the fill that was dumped and never leveled. I have found reference to this easement in the Commission minutes of May 6, 1968. The easement was approved but the accompanying document referenced by the minutes as exhibit no. 4, was not with the minutes. If the City feels that we should indeed level and clear this property, Mr. Askins suggests written documentation with Mr. Cade, legalizing this agreement. This property is impossible to mow in its present condition and a bulldozer will be required to level and clear the underbrush on these lots. The owner of lots 10 and ~ of 11, Oakgrove. Adelma Wilbur of 4801 Canal in Houston, must still be notified to clear her property. I could not, determine if this property is clearable due to the dense undergrowth on the land. In closing I should note that Carlos Smith states that the City of La Porte has in no way renigged on any agreement and owes Mr. Cade no further consideration to the best of his memory.
