The current zoning ordinance con- tains a section on off street parking, but it is not specific enough to caver the driveway or access problem. Staff feels very strongly that fonnal policies should be adopted in order to deal with the problem effectively. The severity of this problem becomes apparent when one considers the man-hours, labor, equip- nent, and materials that have been expended in our drainage maintenance program to correct many inconsistancies and variations in the field. The issue of public safety, and city liability is also crucial, as many installations can create hazards to the IOOtoring public. Attached are the reconmendations and criteria for procedures and per- mitting. At the workshop we will provide specific examples, recorrmended detail drawings, etc. JJ / jm Attaclm1ents (!/ e e ; . , , '-- ...-:::: D _ ~ 1) . r:- t::SI DE N I II<.:"'" ~:g J'v' =""/AY T"\S c.:.o M 1''' E.N"::>A'-IO N::> Fe.'?, J ' to- ~ C.~L f. ,1""\ ..., L": "'''' .~ p .., '0/ ,- -- I.., - '..'~' l" ;"'" t-- OA 1_ '1'. ~. ~ nRIYEV....t.

Please note that if a city decides to leave the Harris County program they IDuld not be eligible for 1985 Block Grant Funds. The Harris Cmmty program has been very efficient and La Porte has benefited tremendously from its participation.

SIMON DIRECTOR July 27, 1984 The Honorable Virginia Cline City of La Porte P.O. Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Mayor Cline: The Community Development Agency is continuing the formal procedures to qualify for participation in fiscal year 1985 for Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Develop- ment Act of 1974, as'amended. We have been pleased to serve your city as a part of the Harris County Community Development Block Grant prog- ram and desire to continue in our cooperative efforts. Each triennial year your city has the option to join with us in a for- mal agreement stating that Harris County Community Development Agency may include your population in our population count. As the amount of our grant depends upon our population count, if you choose to "opt out", we are unable to count your population in our base, thus reducing the amount of the grant. Our grant is aimed spe~~fica11y at low and moderate income neighbor- hoods which need improvements such as housing rehabilitation; neighbor- hood parks; demolition of unsafe, abandoned structures; water and sew- er; streets, drainage, and walkways; and fire equipment. Although this grant directly benefits low and moderate income neighbor- hoods, it aids in the improvement of Harris County as a whole. Partici- pation by your city increases our funding, which enables Ha~ris County Community Development Agency in the delivery of physical improvements and human services throughout our target areas. "Opt in" cities also have the opportunity to select a citizen representative to our Advisory Task Force, which reviews and comment on all CDBG projects. We are instructed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to inform you of the following: 1.) That your city cannot be the beneficiary of 1985 Community Development Block Grant'funds if it "opts out" or cancels the agreement. A new decision must be made for each triennial year even though the city has "opted out" in a previous year; 2.) That your city cannot apply for discretionary balance funds (Small Cities Program) in fiscal year 1985 if it is participating with Harris County. This also applies to any portion of the city 3100 TIMMONS LANE · SUITE 202 HOUSTON. TEXAS 77027 · 713/626-5651 /; .:2- e e /a: -.--...- ........- that is outside Harris County. The city must "opt out" or cancel the agreement to qualify for the Small Cities Program; 3.) That your city must notify both Harris County and the HUD-Fort Worth area office if it wishes to be excluded from participation no later than Septembe'r 14, 1984. Only by joining Harris County in a co-op agreement, can you participate as a beneficiary of Harris County Community Development Block Grant funds. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive funds. To establish the eligibility of a neighborhood receiving these improve- ments, it would have to meet certain conditions required by HUD. If you feel that your city may have an eligible area, a staff member from this agency will be available to help make this determination. We hope that you will join us in applying for the fiscal year 1985 grant and help us work toward the goal of providing physical improve- ments to low and moderate income areas in Harris County. Those cities which "opt in" must agree to cooperate in the undertaking of community development and housing assistance activities. "Opt in" cities must certify that their projects will benefit low and moderate income families, or prevent or eliminate slums and blight. Please find enclosed the cooperative agreement forms submitted for your approval. It is requested by this agency that the agreements be exe- cuted and mailed back to this office no later than September 14, 1984. This is necessary in order to be placed on the Harris County Commis- sioners' Court agenda for approval. It is requested by HUD ti.clt should you nc.,l.. desire to join Harris County in the Community Development Block Grant application that you so inform this agency and HUD-Fort Worth area office (address below) prior to September 14, 1984. We would be pleased to visit with you to address your City Council during the month of August and explain further the benefits of joining with us as a "co-operative city". Should any questions on .the coopera- tive agreements arise, please feel free to contact Bobbie L. Washington of this office. Yours sincerely, \... /). {. /7 (" - ,/-:~~L(,t.L,( ( )-/- '77'~'- ..

Of this amount, $6,599.20 has been spent leaving a balance of $18,400.80. The $6f599.20 has been spent on the architectural firm, Fred Buxton and Associates, for the Beautification Plan with a total cost of $8,789.20 to be spent on completion of the study. This will leave us with a new balance of $16,210.80. On May 28, 1984, several members of the Chamber of Commerce requested a meeting with the landscape architect to review the plans. A meeting was set for June 4. In attendance were John P. Zemanek, Char Icy Wheeler, Richard Wiebe and myself. At this meeting the Chamber members recommended that we start at 146 and Main Street spending the remaining amount of funds. Mr. Wiebe sent a copy of an addendum to me on June 6, and I presented it to you. You suggested that we not take this to council until we have the completed Beautification Plan. I contacted Mr. Wiebe asking for a completion date of the plan. He stated July 15, but because of illness the plan was not delivered until July 31 at 3:00 p.m. After you look over the plan, I recommend that this item be placed on workshop for council to give authorization to go out for bid on the first phase of this project. If this could be presented to council on August 8 for authorization to bid, we could have bids awarded by the last of August. If any further information is needed, please advise.

The current zoning ordinance con- tains a section on off street parking, but it is not specific enough to cover the driveway or access problem. Staff feels very strongly that fonnal policies should be adopted in order to deal with the problem effectively. The severity of this problem becomes apparent when one considers the man-hours, labor, equip- rrent, and rraterials that have, been expended in our drainage rraintenance program to correct many inconsistancies and variations in the field. The issue of public safety, and city liability is also crucial, as many installations can 'create hazards to the motoring public. Attached are the reconmendations and criteria for procedures and per- mitting. At the workshop we will provide specific examples, reconmended detail drawings, etc. JJ / jm Attachments (!,/ , I e e '~--"-... ~~ . ..... . .',.- ..1', EESIDEN'IAl....

Houston Lighting & Power Company has investigated this request and determined we have overhead distribution located within the area to be abandoned. Therefore, our company requests that a ten (10) foot ground easement and thirty (30) foot aerial easement be retained for the 210 foot length of line. It is further requested that a uopy of the closure ordinance be for- warded to this office after final action has been taken by the City Council. If we may be of any further assistance, please advise. /);s tru~y~/: / ~V-~Y-V / /{r<-- James L. Wyatt District Manager JLW/jm Attachments /53 e e ..,.--...- _'I ....- - ..

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Cline Dear Mayor Cline: The Community Development Agency is continuing the formal procedures to qualify for participation in fiscal year 1985 for Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Develop- ment Act of 1974, as amended. We have been pleased to serve your city as a part of the Harris County Community Development Block Grant prog~ ram and desire to continue in our cooperative efforts. Each triennial year your city has the option to join with us in a for- mal agreement stating that Harris County Community Development Agency may include your population in our population count. As the amount of our grant depends upon our population count, if you choose to "opt out", we are unable to count your population in our base, thus reducing the amount of the grant. Our grant is aimed specifically at low and moderate income neighbor- hoods which need improvements such as housing rehabilitation; neighbor- hood parks; demolition of unsafe, abandoned structures; water and sew- er; streets, drainage, and walkways; and fire equipment. Although this grant directly benefits low and moderate income neighbor- hoods, it aids in the improvement of Harris County as a whole. Partici- pation by your city increases our funding, which enables Harris County Community Development Agency in the delivery of physical improvements and human services throughout our target areas. "Opt in" cities also have the opportunity to select a citizen representative to our Advisory Task Force, which reviews and comment on all CDBG projects. We are instructed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to inform you of the following: 1.) That your city cannot be the beneficiary of 1985 Community Development Block Grant funds if it "opts out" or cancels the agreement. A new decision must be made for each triennial year even though the city has "opted out" in a previous year; 2.) That your city cannot apply for discretionary balance funds (Small Cities Program) in fiscal year 1985 if it is participating with Harris County. This also applies to any portion of the city 3100 TIMMONS LANE · SUITE 202 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77027 . 713/626-5651 ;;-:2- . \ e ~--- r:::: - , that is outside Harris County. The city must "opt out" or cancel the agreement to qualify for the Small Cities Program; 3.) That your city must notify both Harris County and the HUD-Fort Worth area office if it wishes to be excluded from participation no later than September 14, 1984. Only by joining Harris County in a co-op agreement, can you participate as a beneficiary of Harris County Community Development Block Grant funds. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive funds. To establish the eligibility of a neighborhood receiving these improve- ments, it would have to meet certain conditions required by HUD. If you feel that your city may have an eligible area, a staff member from this agency will be available to help make this determination. We hope that you will join us in applying for the fiscal year 1985 grant and help us work toward the goal of providing physical improve- ments to low and moderate income areas in Harris County. Those cities which "opt in" must agree to cooperate in the undertaking of community development and housing assistance activities. "Opt in" cities must certify that their projects will benefit low and moderate income families, or prevent or eliminate slums and blight. Please find enclosed the cooperative agreement forms submitted for your approval. It is requested by this agency that the agreements be exe- cuted and mailed back to this office no later than September 14, 1984. This is necessary in order to be placed on the Harris County Commis- sioners' Court agenda for approval. It is requested by HUD that should you nu,~ desire to join Harris County in the Community Development Block Grant application that you so inform this agency and HUD-Fort Worth area office (address below) prior to September 14, 1984. We would be pleased to visit with you to address your City Council during the month of August and explain further the benefits of joining with us as a "co-operative city". Should any questions on the coopera- tive agreements arise, please feel free to contact Bobbie L. Washington of this office. Yours sincerely, t......L) . -1- /7 r . r;~cL.J ( (j1,"rJ'V- -' Leister A.

Of this amount, $6,599.20 has been spent leaving a balance of $18,400.80. The $6,599.20 has been spent on the architectural firm, Fred Buxton and Associates, for the Beautification Plan with a total cost of $8,789.20 to be spent on completion of the study. This will leave us with a new balance of $16,210.80. On May 28, 1984, several members of the Chamber of Commerce requested a meeting with the landscape architect to review the plans. A meeting was set for June 4. In attendance were John P. Zemanek, Charley Wheeler, Richard Wiebe and myself. At this meeting the Chamber members recommended that we start at 146 and Main Street spending the remaining amount of funds. Mr. Wiebe sent a copy of an addendum to me on June 6, and I presented it to you. You suggested that we not take this to council until we have the completed Beautification Plan. I contacted Mr. Wiebe asking for a completion date of the plan. He stated July 15, but because of illness the plan was not delivered until July 31 at 3:00 p.m. After you look over the plan, I recommend that this item be placed on workshop for council to give authorization to go out for bid on the first phase of this project. If this could be presented to council on August 8 for authorization to bid, we could have bids awarded by the last of August. If any further information is needed, please advise. . ss/ms FI /' E 4' CITY TOTAL PRICE . (. ~1..,.J i1 ...fl t5 \o,t-'" ~y l') U UNIT PRICE v QTY.

TARIN, MAl e e CI'IY OF IA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMJRANDUM 10: FRCl1 : Jack Owen ~TE: August 3, 1984 Jom Joems SUBJECT: Recornnended Driveway Policies and Procedures The City is experiencing difficulty in pennitting, reviewing, approving, and recording driveway installations. The current zoning ordinance con- tains a section on off street parking, but it is not specific enough to cover the driveway or access problem. , Staff feels very strongly that forrral policies should be adopted in order to deal with the problem effectively. The severity of this problem becomes apparent when one considers the m:m-hours, labor, equip- TIEIlt, and lffiterials that have been' expended in our drainage lffiintenance program to correct many inconsistancies and variations in the field. The issue ('of public safety, and city liability is also crucial, as m:my installations can create hazards to the IOOtoring public. Attached are the recorrmendations and criteria for procedures and per- mitting. At the workshop we will provide specific examples, recorrmended detail drawings, etc. JJ/jrn Attaclnnents :,: .

SIMON OIRECTOR July 27, 1984 The Honorable Virginia Cline City of La Porte P.o. Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Mayor Cline: The Community Development Agency is continuing the formal procedures to qualify for participation in fiscal year 1985 for Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Develop- ment Act of 1974, as amended. We have been pleased to serve your city as a part of the Harris County Community Development Block Grant prog~ ram and desire to continue in our cooperative efforts. Each triennial year your city has the option to join with us in a for- mal agreement stating that Harris County Community Development Agency may include your population in our population count. As the amount of our grant depends upon our population count, if you choose to "opt out", 'We are unable to count your population in our base, thus reducing the amount of the grant. Our grant is aimed specifically at low and moderate income neighbor- hoods 'Which need improvements such as housing rehabilitation; neighbor- hood parks; demolition of unsafe, abandoned structures; water and sew- er; streets, drainage, and walkways; and fire equipment. Although this grant directly benefits low and moderate income neighbor- hoods, it aids in the improvement of Harris County as a whole. Partici- pation by your city increases our funding, which enables Harris County Community Development Agency in the delivery of physical improvements and human services throughout our target areas. "Opt in" cities also have the opportunity to select a citizen representative to our Advisory Task Force, which reviews and comment on all CDBG projects. We are instructed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to inform you of the following: 1.) that your city cannot be the beneficiary of 1985 Community Development Block Grant funds if it "opts out" or cancels the agreement. A new decision must be made for each triennial year even though the city has "opted out" in a previous year; 2.) That your city cannot apply for discretionary balance funds (Small Cities Program) in fiscal year 1985 if it is participating with Harris County. This also applies to any portion of the city 3100 TIMMONS LANE · SUITE 202 HOUSTON. TEXAS 77027 · 713/626-5651 - tit that is outside Harris County. The city must "opt out" or cancel the agreement to qualify for the Small Cities Program; 3.) That your city must notify both Harris County and the HUD-Fort Worth area office if it wishes to be excluded from participation no later than September 14, 1984. "l) .' ~ . " Onty by joining Ha'rris County in a co-oP agreement, can you participate as a beneficiary of Harris County Community Development Block Gr?nt funds. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive funds. To establish the eligibility of a neighborhood receiving these improve- ments, it would have to meet certain conditions required by HUD. If you feel that your city may have an eligible area, a staff member from this agency will be available to help make this determination. We hope that you will join us in applying for the fiscal year 1985 grant and help us work toward the goal of providing physical improve- ments to low and moderate income areas in Harris County. Those cities which "opt in" must agree to cooperate in the undertaking of community development and housing assistance activities. "Opt in" cities must certify that their projects will benefit low and moderate income families, or prevent or eliminate slums and blight. Please find enclosed the cooperative agreement forms submitted for your approval. It is requested by this agency that the agreements be exe- cuted and mailed back to this office no later than September 14, 1984. This is necessary in order to be placed on the Harris County Commis- sioners' Court agenda for approval. It is requested by HUD that should you Aot. desire to join Harris,County in the Community Development Block Grant application that you so inform this agency and HUD-Fort Worth area office (address below) prior to September 14, 1984. We would be pleased to visit with you to address your City Council during the month of August and explain further the benefits of joining with us as a "co-operative city". Should any questions on the coopera- tive agreements arise, please feel free to contact Bobbie L. Washington of this office.

CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM JULY 31, 1984 TO: Jack Owen, City Manager FROM: Stan Sherwood, Director Parks & Recreation SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing Beautification Plan The amount of $25,000.00 was approved for the Beautification Plan. Of this amount, $6,599.20 has been spent leaving a balance of $18,400.80. The $6,599.20 has been spent on the architectural firm, Fred Buxton and Associates, for the Beautification Plan with a total cost of $8,789.20 to be spent on completion of the study. This will leave us with a new balance of $16,210.80. On May 28, 1984, several members of the Chamber of Commerce requested a meeting with the landscape architect to review the plans. A meeting was set for June 4. In attendance were John P. Zemanek, Charlcy Wheeler, Richard Wiebe and myself. At this meeting the Chamber members recommended that we start at 146 and Main Street spending the remaining amount of funds. Mr. Wiebe sent a copy of an addendum to me on June 6, and I presented it to you. You suggested that we not take this to council until we have the completed Beautification Plan. I contacted Mr. Wiebe asking for a completion date of the plan. He stated July 15, but because of illness the plan was not delivered until July 31 at 3:00 p.m. After you look over the plan, I recommend that this item be placed on workshop for council to give authorization to go out for bid on the first phase of this project. If this could be presented to council on August 8 for authorization to bid, we could have bids awarded by the last of August. If any further information is needed, please advise.
