LaPorte City Council Meeting July 14, 1997 Cliff Hyde Flying Service Lease Issues · Cliff Hyde Flying Service appreciates the time and effort the city of LaPorte has put into the airport. · Cliff Hyde Flying Service has enjoyed 40 years as a family owned and operated business here in LaPorte and would welcome the opportunity to continue operations here as San Jacinto College's Flight Contractor for many more years to come. · Cliff Hyde Flying Service has submitted a proposal to extend their lease and remain in their current location under the new lease standards and criteria. e The City of LaPorte has taken the position that they will only issue a new lease for a different location due to Part 77 Rules. · The 'rexas Department of Transportation states that the Part 77 Rules are not mandatory for preexisting establishments. . Due to the fact that the buildings at Cliff Hyde Flying Service existed long before the Part 77 Rules, Cliff Hyde Flying Service feels that the Grandfather Clause should be invoked and they should be able to sign a new lease at their current location. . LaPorte Airport currently has more than one business inside the Part 77 Clear Zone and all cross the new building line. Despite this, some of these bus~esses have renewed..their.lease. . Cliff Hyde Flying Service is not in the current financial position to meet the proposal made by the City of LaPorte. . Therefore, so that Cliff Hyde Flying Service may continue to offer aviation services to the City of LaPorte, they encourage you to allow them to renew their lease under their current proposal. e . e 0" .> -: RIE&ST fOR CITY COUNCil AGENPAEM Agenda Date Requested: July 14. 1997 Requested By: Guy Rankin CO~ Department: Planning x Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

A 10.54 acre tract out of the W. P. Harris Survey, Abst. A- 30, Harris County, La Porte, Texas. This property is further described as being located in the 1200 Block ofMc Cabe Road. The project is identified as the Bayou Forest Apartments. (See Exhibit A) Planned Unit Development (p.U.D.) and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Applicants are seeking a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) for the purpose of developing an apartment complex within a Planned Unit Development (p.u.n.) zone. This SCUP is required by Section 8-400 of the City Zoning Ordinance 1501. The purpose of this hearing is to consider Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU97-001. This request is being processed simultaneously with the Bayou Forest Apartments General Plan as required by the City's zoning ordinance. Zoning Ordinance Section 10-200 establishes the following review criteria and conditions for approval of Special Conditional Use Permits: . That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity. · That the conditions placed on such use, as specified in each district, have been met by the applicant. . That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed, based on specific site constraints necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community. Bayou Forest APart_rs #SCU 97-001 6/19/97 - P&Z Meeting Page 2 of2 e Regarding the first of these conditions, compatibility with neighboring properties. Staff would note that the tract in question will be surrounded by a 6.7526 acre Neighborhood Commercial (NC) tract and the remaining 6.46 acre P.U.D. tract. In 1994, the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council considered and approved the overall 17 acre tract for possible development of higher density housing or apartments. Since that time, no changes have occurred in this area which would impact their decision. The second criteria to be considered is compliance with conditions and regulations of the zoning district in which the development is to be located. The development, as proposed in their General Plan, has issues that must be addressed. However, with necessary changes the overall layout may be workable. Specifics regarding the project issues are outlined in the staff report for the General Plan. . The final issue is the need for site specific conditions that the applicant must agree to meet. The proposed development does not come with any recommendation from staff If the Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 97-001 is granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission it must also be approved by City Council. Approval of the SCUP allows the applicant to submit a general plan for the Bayou Forest Apartments. A General Plan has been submitted by the applicant and will be considered by the Commission as a separate Agenda item. Please note that the proposed Bayou Forest Apartments, Phase I developments represent 176 units. If#SCU 97-001 is approved, it would allow the development of only Phase 1. The Phase II development will require the applicant to return to the Commission for formal approval. At this time, staff is not recommending approval of Phase II of the apartments. e e City of La Porte Special Conditional Use Permit Ordinance 1501 Permit # SCU 97-001 This pennit is issued to: Jim Clifton, of Sterling Development Owner or Agent 5703 Covehaven, Dallas, TX 75252 Address ; For Development of: ~ayou Forest Apartments Development Name 1200 Block of McCabe Road Address Legal Description: 10.54 acre tract out of the W.P.

Please note that prior to the condemnation, the City will secure an appraisal and make an appropriate offer.

Taub Texan Building 4th Floor Houston, TX 77024 Dear Mr. Tau.b, Thank you for taking my call on Tuesday. I appreciate your time and sincerely hope that we can quickly come to an agreement. This letter is intended to further explain the City's request for a utility easement across Blk. 143, lots 9-16. Although initially presented by Decker McKim, this utility installation project is actually a joint venture between Decker McKim and the City. The project is intended to bring water and sewer mains to an area along SH 146 that is presently without service. We have received, without compensation, easements from the other landowners along the route and hope to convince you to do likewise. We feel that the route chosen is best for both the City's and your interests, especially when considering future development potential of your tract. To better explain the project, I am enclosing an outline explaining the City's position and several exhibits describing the project. Once you have reviewed this package I would appreciate your response. The City has already taken bids on this project and we plan to award a construction contract on July 14. 1997. We, therefore, need to quickly reach an agreement with you or examine our options. Please call if I can answt:r any questions or if you fed a meeting would be beneticial. Again. I thank you for your time. .. Enclosun.:s JJ/dlv 1'.t'l.Bllxllli. Larllrte.Tcx;1<77i72-111'i. (iIIHil-502L) e It Attachment to letter dated July 2, 1997 From John Joems to H.J.N. Taub NOTES: UTILITY INSTALLATION ALONG SH 146 . Block 143 Area Map shows the proposed route for the water and sewer mains . The water main is within the right-of-way of SH 146. The right-of-way of SH 146 cannot accommodate both utilities. . A portion of the proposed sanitary sewer is within the initial 10 foot of property, parallel to and adjacent to SH 146 right-of-way. This location would not interfere with future development because; . The minimum building setback in a General Commercial Zone is 20 ft. (See attached Table: Section 6-500, Table B - Commercial) . The Zoning Ordinance also requires 6% landscaping. Many developments choose to landscape along the frontage. . The utility easement (forin attached) does not prevent access to the property. Driveway. access according to applicable State and City policies and regulations is 'permissible. . The City avoided using the 11th Street right-of-way because; . City has no long range plans to use II th Street as a roadway . Having this right-of-way available for closing would allow for adjacent landowners to accumulate larger tracts for development. . Avoiding 11th Street also allows the City to negotiate additional right- of-way for Little Cedar Bayou. In your specific case, if a street and alley closing were applied for, I would recommend to City Council an exchange of the residual of lots 15 and 16 for a similarly valued portion of 11th Street. This has been done previously under a plan blessed by City Council. (See exhibit 96-10). . Also provided for you are excerpts from construction plans for the sanitary sewer. . \J.E;; ~ T uDu ST. /Xl I"") ,.....J I ~ CTl 7 3 ~I a a w w ...... (/) (/) 0 0 --l --l U U .s::. 8 +> ...... ......

The Utility Extension Agreement estimated that the project might cost as much as $112,000. Since that time, plans have been prepared by Carlos Smith, easements have been obtained, the project has been advertised, and bids were received on June 19, 1997. A bid tabulation is attached. Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and determined the low bid from R.L. Utilities, Inc. is within the budgeted amount and R.L. Utilities, Inc. is qualified to perform this work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with R.L. Utilities, Inc. in the amount of 106,814.00 for construction of Water and Sewer Lines Along SH 146. In addition, it is recommended that $5,186 (4.9%) be set aside as contingency for a total of $112,000.00 for the project. Action Required by Council: Consider approving an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with R.L.

Ordinance Area Map Application SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City has been petitioned by Mr. Doug Latimer to close, vacate, and abandon the alleys of Blocks 679 & 680 as well as the adjacent North 17th Street Right-of-Way between Blocks 679 & 680, Town of La Porte, to facilitate future expansion of his business. The Planning and Public Works Departments have reviewed this request and have determined that the City has no immediate or future plans to utilize the rights-of-way in question. Staff has solicited comments and received letters of no objection from each of its franchised utility companies. In accordance with Chapter 21, Section 21-28 of the Code of Ordinances, the fair market value of the rights-of-way in question have been determined to be $0.546875 per square foot. This process utilizes the average HCAD appraised value of adjacent, comparible properties ($0.3125 per square foot) and multiplies by a factor of 1.75. The rights-of-way to be closed contain 36,800 square feet, resulting in a total payment of $20,125.00 of which the City has subsequently received from the applicant. Recommendation Staff recommends vacating, closing, and abandoning the alleys of Blocks 679 & 680, Town of La Porte as well as the North 17th St. Right-of-Way for future expansion of applicant's business. A~tion Required by Council: Consider approval of an ordinance to close, vacate, and abandon the alleys of Blocks 679 & 680, Town of La Porte as well as the right-of-way of North 17th Street between Blocks 679 & 680.

'.11 SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION As part of the FY 96-97 Budget for capital improvement projects, City Council approved $50,000 for city wide sidewalk repairs and $20,000 for a new sidewalk along Fairmont Parkway. The sidewalk repairs are in numerous locations, in different neighborhoods throughout the City. The first phase of new sidewalk is along the north side of Fairmont Parkway, between Broadway and City Hall. The next phase will extend the sidewalk to SH 146. Design and engineering were performed on this project utilizing City staff. On July 3, 1997, the City received competitive bids from four qualified contractors (see attached Bid Tabulation). The low bid was submitted by Purtis Construction of Houston in the amount of $56,911.50. Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and determined the low bid from Purtis Construction is within the budgeted amount and Purtis Construction is qualified to perform the work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Purtis Construction in the amount of $56,911.50 for construction of the Fairmont Parkway sidewalk and for city wide sidewalk repairs. In addition, it is recommended that $13,088.50 be set aside as contingency for a total of $70,000 for these two projects. Action Required by Council: Consider approving an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Purtis Construction in the amount of $56,911.50 for construction of sidewalks and further authorizing $13,088.50 to be set aside for Contingency. . ....~... .~... .".... ..p.,. ........ft~..~,...,..,... .... __......r.......~'.. _ v....__ .._ _ ., ~ ......"

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: Jul~. 1997 Requested By: Guv Rankin ~1~- Department: Planning x Report Resolution x Ordinance Exhibits: 1. 2. Ordinance Letters from Electrical Contractors SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION - In recent weeks there has been a question raised about the wiring in flexible conduit known as BX/MC/Armor Clad within the City of La Porte. Flexible conduit is not currently allowed by the City's electrical code (last updated in March 1989). After some research, we know that the use of wiring in this conduit is safe and accepted by communities that follow the National Electric Code. It is staff's recommendation that "Section 5.02 Conduit in Commercial Buildings" of the Electric Code be repealed. This section states: "Wiring in all commercial and residential buildings shall be enclosed in rigid conduit or metallic tubing. For the purpose of this Section 5.02, hotels and motels shall be considered commercial buildings." Several electrical contractors within the City also support this change. Action Required by Council: Consider approving Ordinance 97-1637-B repealing Section 5.02 of the Electric Code.

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572-1115 Gentlemen, Per our conversations over the last several weeks, I wish to support the revisions to the City ordinance that allow the use of armored cable and metal-clad cable. Both of these products are approved by the National Electrical Code and many of our neighboring cities. We know of no safety problems with either cable, if as with any product, the installation is done properly. The deletion of section #5.02 would help reduce the fmancial burden on our business customers in La Porte. Sincerely, Pfeiffer & Son, Inc.
