On the original plat there were several streets which were not (nor planned to be) physically connected. In order to avoid confusion, staff has recommended that Council approve several street name changes. The developers of Brookglen III are agreeable and have provided the City a list of names which have been reviewed and approved. If Council concurs with staff's recommendation, then an ordinance will be prepared for the regular meeting of July 18, 1984. lb Attachment cc: S. Gillett H. Freeman J. Sease D.

Dear Mr. Gartrell: In the past, the City of La Porte Police and Fire Departments, as well as our Ambulance Service, have had difficulties responding to calls to addresses on streets where the names have been continued from one section of a subdivision to the next but the street has not. As you can see, this is cause for concern as valuable time is wasted finding the correct section of the street. As was mentioned in Item One (1) under general comments of our letter to your firm dated January 13, 1983, this problem exists in Brookglen Section III. Therefore, the City is considering council action to have certain street names changed to avoid any increase, in the problems I mentioned before. If either you or Mr. Sullivan of Kay Homes wish to submit street names to be considered, please feel free to do so. Attached is a listing of street names currently in use in La Porte and the immediate vicinity. If you choose to suggest street names, please avoid duplication or similar sounding names. If you have any questions, please contact Darlene Williams at 471-5020, extension 279. Sincerel -~. ..%~ > Joh Joerns Director of Community Development lb Encl. ~3 T • ..

As I mentioned to you during our phone conversation that due to the fact that some of the streets are continuations of those in previously developed sections the names of those streets must remain. They are "Somerton Drive" "Brookwood Drive" "Gladwyne Drive" "Venture Drive" Those streets which are to be changes are: - " Barry Oaks Lane" (East of Brookwood)will'becotne'"Hedgestone~Drive" - "Shady Tree Lane" (East of Brookwood)~will~become "Kensington Drive" - "Wood Drift Drive" (East of Brookwood) will become "Huntersfield :.Lane^' With the above being changed we do not see any reason to change those names west of Somerton Drive nor Orchard Lane east of Brookwood. John, I appreciate your help concerning this matter and if there is anything more I can do please contact me anytime. Sin erely, ~,. Chris Semenza CS/cc .~ '~ • CITY OF LA PHONE (713) 471-5020 • P.

John Joerns D'•ector of Community Development lb ~~ CITY OF LA PORTE T0: Jack Owen FROM: John Joerns DATE: July 2, 1984 SUBJECT: Termination of Step I of EPA Grant - Lomax Planning Area I have discussed the status of our EPA Step I Grant with TDWR personnel in Austin. Presently, the grant is approximately 91~ complete. The only remaining items required by the grant and by the Engineering Agreement are: (1) Final preparation and Assessment~Amendment. ~10TE: Draft Copy has (2) Final Preparation of OTE: Draft Copy has (3) Prepare and execute a approval of an Environmental been submitted. a Facility Plan Amendment. been submitted. Public Participation Program. TDWR is agreeable to the termination of the Step I Grant at its present level of completion. If the grant were completed, it is doubtful that Step 2 and 3 funding (construction funds for reha- bilitation) would be received due to the low priority given to projects of this size and nature. If, in the future, funding for work of this nature became readily available, the City could re- apply for funds to complete the project and then proceed to construction. The termination of the Step I Grant (Lomax) would result in a total savings of $20,306: 25~ ($5,076) to the City and 75~ ($15,230) to the EPA. It is my recommendation that the City amicably terminate the Engineering Contract with Busch, Hutchison, and Associates and that Council pass a resolution stating that the City wishes to terminate the Step I Grant at its current level of completion.

Road at "West 0": The cross-hatched area represents the area where the south shoulder of the road and the drainage swale has encroached approximately 12-15 ft. onto•the land designated as. tract "C" and tract "D". The roadway was staked and constructed by Brown & Root, Inc. when they located a portable asphaltic concrete batch plant on their 18.9+ acre site located at the west end of "West 0"~. After discussing the matter with all parties involved, staff recommends the following course of action: (1) Negotiate with the landowner for: (a) the abandonment of the existing 60' ROW of "West 0" (b) have a new field note description written for a 60' ROW that would be approximately .l2-15 ft. south of and parallel to the existing ROW. NOTE: Brown & Root, Inc. has indicated .that they would cover the costs associated with a new field note description and placement of appropriate monumentation. (c) abandon 17th street in its present location and pre- pare a new field note description for a 60'. wide ROW along the western boundary of tract .from the north .line of tract A to the north ROW line of the newly described "West 0" ROW. NOTE: .This action would be in line with the staff recommendation made earlier when . the 'owner requested the closing of. South .. 17th Street. (2) Request Brown & Root, Inc. to relocate the metal gate to a point just inside their ROW. Ui ? • 'r MEMORANDUM TO JACK OWEN~ July 6, 1984 PAGE 2 All of the concernea.parties have been .contacted and are. apparently agreeable to these corrective measures. However, staff recommends that the City receive a letter of a~greement~.from the concerned parties .before proceeding. If Council is agreeable 'to this plan of action, then staff will pursue this course of action. lb Encl. ~.. f '~ ' . :s !~• '' 0 n• 1. ~ ~-~ Q V h 1 C ci °o, ?- J ~9O O?C Z ~ a T _~ ? ~ ~ J ~ r .i ° ~ ~ J d e z ~ z ~ nOl 2 r "~ a ~ ° _ w d ~, uo(2 ~ ~ oa ~ ~ W p i ~ ~ ~W ~ Q zoo J11 . hZA~ ~~~ ~ w o w ? al ,~ >rw W ,qZ~ ( M ~ . ~ ~- u rc°m ~ ~ 2~ ~~ F „ I nub r y .a' h 0 u i i " ~ s ~ LL ~; ~~~o ~ t z °` is N Z ~ a f .rl ~.. ~ • ZW ~ 21g W ~1.2~~ O ~ I; u e A = m ~O ZI~WN~ W ~~'" ~a aomei a ~ ~ t ~_ ~~-- a~g 0 O vZ ;; ~ ~ N ~ ~~ or kw OZ d ~ h I~Q ~~.~~ v ~ ,~ ~ ~ m o 2 ('NO'a' .09) a '~ ~ '~ CY}9/7 o'b-OZr 773MOd -~ r ~. cI •assar/--~ .95eZO 5~- ~~I~l ~.

The Bayshore Municipal Utiiity District (BAYMUD) has been unwilling to issue a commitment to provide water due to the limitations of their existing system and related permits. During our recent meeting in your office, and more recently at a workshop session with BAYMUD, they have expressed the intention of sending a letter of request to you. They have also expressed uncertainty relative to which entity would actually be purchasing the water--Lakeland Group, BAYMUD, or the Property Owners Association for the tract. Since this is unclear and can be determined at a later date, we are writing to request the City's approval for the sale of water for~this purpose subject to negotiations to resolve such open issues. BAYMUD has expressed deep reservations relative to their ability to issue a commitment if they are to rely on LaPorte for their source of additional water. Their primary stated concern relates to one state- ment made by you in our recent meeting. Specifically, that water may not be available if other needs develop within the City limits. You did not clarify if this meant water could be cut off from future develop- ment, from existing users, or only in an emergency. In addition, even though you made it clear that LaPorte had the capacity to serve our entire project, they have expressed concern that the Subsidence District will cut your well permits, thus causing the inability of BAYMUD to service our tract. • ~C Mr. Jack Owens City of LaPorte July 2, 1984 Page Two Based on our current information, the 12" water line along our north property line would be sufficient to service our needs for the project. I have attached a summary of .the anticipated requirements based on the preliminary land plan which is also attached. We propose to install one meter to be read by~your employees for the billing. You would not have any maintenance responsibility within the project and would not be involved Zn the reading of individual meters or the related billing. It has been suggested that a ground storage facility be constructed on our site. This would benefit our project now and could serve as an entry point in the future for surface water source. It would be our intention to construct/pay for those improvements that are required and directly related to our tract. Again, based on current information and the projected 4-7 year build out schedule, no improvements appear'. to be required for some time. Regarding surface water; if we enter into a contract to buy water from LaPorte, we would commit to purchase water from the Water Authority,~if practical, or to continue to buy from the City, if not. We therefore request that you present our request to the City to first determine if they will provide the water. Secondly; as we discussed, since this will be a bulk purchase, would they consider a rate that reflects that and the reduced effort on your part relative to maintenance of the system. Once this is determined, we can then resolve the issues on which entity will buy the water and what the conditions of the contract will be. I want to thank you for your cooperation and the consideration shown to me. in our meetings. Should there be any questions, please contact Mr. Wally Grablie or myself at the number::above. I understand that you intend to place this on the agenda for the 7/11/84 Council meeting. If there are any additional copies or exhibits you require, please advise.

Dear Mr. Gartrell: In the past, the City of La Porte Police and Fire Departments, as well as our Ambulance Service, have had'~difficulties responding to calls to addresses on streets where the names have been continued from one section of a subdivision to the next but the street has not. As you can see, this is cause for concern as valuable time is wasted finding the correct section of the street. As was mentioned in Item One (1) under general comments of our letter to your firm dated January 13, 1983, this problem exists in Brookglen Section III. Therefore, the City is considering council action to have certain street names changed to avoid any increase in the problems I mentioned before. If either you or Mr. Sullivan of Kay Homes wish to submit street names to be considered, please feel free to do so. Attached is a listing of street names currently in use in La Porte and the immediate vicinity. If you choose to suggest street names, please avoid duplication or similar sounding names. ~If you have any questions, please contact Darlene Williams at 471-5020, extension 279.

They are "Somerton Drive" _ "Brookwood Drive" ~~ ~~ ~' "Gladwyne Drive" ~ ,•'_. "Venture Drive" Those streets which are to be changes are: - " Barry Oaks Lane" (East of Brookwood)~will'become~"Hedgestone~Drive" - "Shady Tree 'Lane" (East of Brookwood)'will'becotite "Kensington Drive" - "Wood Drift Drive" (East of Brookwood) will become "Huntersfield :.Lane"' With the above being changed we do not see any reason to change those names west of Somerton Drive nor Orchard Lane east of Brookwood.

Presently, the grant is approximately 91X complete. The only remaining items required by the grant and by the Engineering Agreement are: (1) Final preparation and Assessment Amendment. 1~OTE: Draft Copy has (2) Final Preparation of NOTE: Draft Copy has (3) Prepare and execute a approval of an Environmental been submitted. a Facility Plan Amendment. been submitted. Public Participation Program. TDWR is agreeable to the termination of the Step I Grant at its present level of completion. If the grant were completed, it is doubtful that Step 2 and 3 funding (construction funds for reha- bilitation) would be received due to the low priority given to projects of this size and nature. If, in the future, funding for work of this nature became readily available, the City could re- apply for funds to complete the project and then proceed to construction. The termination of the Step I Grant (Lomax) would result in a total savings of $20,306: 25~ ($5,076) to the City and 75X ($15,230) to the EPA. It is my recommendation that the City amicably terminate the Engineering Contract with Busch, Hutchison, and Associates and that Council pass a resolution stating that the City wishes to terminate the Step I Grant at its current level of completion.

Road at "West 0".• The cross-hatched area represents the area where the south shoulder of the road and the drainage swale has encroached approximately 12-15 ft. onto~the land designated as. tract "C" and tract "D". The roadway was staked and constructed by Brown & Root, Inc. when they located a portable asphaltic concrete batch plant on their 18.9+ acre site located at the west end of "West 0"~. After discussing the matter with all parties involved, staff recommends the following course of action: (1) Negotiate with the landowner for: (a) the abandonment .of the existing 60' ROW of "West 0" (b) have a new field note. description written for a 60' ROW that would be approximately .l2-15 ft. south of and parallel to the-existing ROW. NOTE: Brown & Root, Inc. has indicated .that they would cover the costs associated with a new field note description and placement of appropriate monumentation. (c) abandon 17th street~in its present location and pre- pare a new field note description for a 60'. wide ROW along the western boundary of tract .from the north .line of tract A to the north ROW line of the newly described "West 0" ROW.. NOTE: .This action would be in line with the staff recommendation made earlier when . the 'owner requested. the closing of. South 17th Street.

Dear Mr. Gartrell: FORTE • LA FORTE, TEXAS 77571 In the past, the City of La Porte Police and Fire Departments, as well as our Ambulance Service, have had'~difficulties responding to calls to addresses on streets where the names have been continued from one section of a subdivision to the next but the street has not. As you can see, this is cause for concern as valuable time is wasted finding the correct section of the street. As was mentioned in Item One (1) under general comments of our letter to your firm dated January 13, 1983, this problem exists in Brookglen Section III. Therefore, the City is considering council action to have certain street names changed to avoid any increase in the problems I mentioned before. If either you or Mr. Sullivan of Kay Homes wish to submit street names to be considered, please feel free to do so. Attached is a listing of street names currently in use in La Porte and the immediate vicinity. If you choose to suggest street names, please avoid duplication or similar sounding names.

If the grant were completed, it is doubtful that Step 2 and 3 funding (construction funds for reha- bilitation) would be received due to the low priority given to projects of this size and nature. If, in the future, funding for work of this nature became readily available, the City could re- apply for funds to complete the project and then proceed to construction. The termination of the Step I Grant (Lomax) would result in a total savings of $20,306: 25X ($5,076) to the City and 75~ ($15,230) to the EPA. It is my recommendation that the City amicably terminate the Engineering Contract with Buseh, Hutchison, and Associates and that Council pass a resolution stating that the City wishes to terminate the Step I Grant at its current level of completion. ~~ ~, ,., Jo Joerns lb ~1-3-~`~ CITY MGR'S nPF~r,F .~ • C~~~?

The cross-hatched area represents the area where the south shoulder of the road and the drainage swale has encroached approximately 12-15 ft. onto~the land designated as, tract "C" and tract "D". The roadway was staked and constructed by Brown & Root, Inc. when they located a portable asphaltic concrete batch plant on their 18.9+ acre site located at the west end of "West 0". After discussing the matter with all parties involved, staff recommends the following course of action: (1) Negotiate with the landowner for: (a) the abandonment of the existing 60' ROW of "West 0" (b) have a new field note description written for a 60' ROW that would be approximately .l2-15 ft. south of and parallel to the existing ROW. NOTE: Brown & Root, Inc. has indicated .that they would cover the costs associated with a new field note description and placement of appropriate monumentation. (c) abandon 17th street in its present location and pre- pare a new field note description for a 60'. wide ROW along the western boundary of tract from the north .line of tract A to the north ROW line of the newly described "West 0" ROW.

The Bayshore Municipal Utiiity District (BAYPIUD) has been unwilling to issue a commitment to provide water due to the limitations of their existing system and related permits. During our recent meeting in your office, and more recently at a workshop session with BAYMUD, they have expressed the intention of sending a letter of request to you. They have also expressed uncertainty relative to which entity would actually be purchasing the water--Lakeland Group, BAYMUD, or the Property Owners Association for the tract. Since this is unclear and can be determined at a later date, we are writing to request the City's approval for the sale of water for this purpose subject to negotiations to resolve such open issues. BAYMUD has expressed deep reservations relative to their ability to ~ issue a commitment if they are to rely on LaPorte for their source of additional water. Their primary stated concern relates to one state- ' ment made by you in our recent meeting. Specifically, that water may not be available if other needs develop within the City Limits. You ` did not clarify if this meant water could be cut off from future develop- ment, from existing users, or only in an emergency. In addition, even though you made it clear that LaPorte had the capacity to serve our entire project, they have expressed concern that the Subsidence District will cut your well permits, thus causing the inability of BAYMUD to service our tract. • , Mr. Jack Owens ' City of LaPorte July 2, 1984 Page Two • Based on our current information, the 12" water line along our north ~' property line would be sufficient to service our needs for the project. I have attached a summary of the anticipated requirements based on the preliminary land plan which is also attached. We propose to install one meter to be read by your employees for the billing. You would not have any maintenance responsibility within the project and would not be involved Zn the reading of individual meters or the related billing. It has been suggested that a ground storage facility be constructed on our site. This would benefit our project now and could serve as an entry point in the future for surface water source. It would be our intention to construct/pay for those improvements that are required and directly related to our tract. Again, based on current information and the projected 4-7 year build out schedule, no improvements appear. to be required for some time. Regarding surface water; if we enter into a contract to buy water from LaPorte, we would commit to purchase water from the Water Authority,~if practical, or to continue to buy from the City, if not. We therefore request that you present our request to the City to first I determine if they will provide the water. Secondly, as we discussed, since this will be a bulk purchase, would they consider a rate that I reflects that and the reduced effort on your part relative to maintenance of the system. Once this is determined, we can then resolve the issues on which. entity will buy the water and what the conditions of the contract will be. I want to thank you for your cooperation and the consideration shown to me in our meetings. Should there be any questions, please contact Mr. Wally Grablie or myself at the number;:above.
