Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Ms. Waters: I own a tract of land approximately 420 feet North of the intersection of Old Highway 146 and McCabe Road containing 2.8818 • acres. This property was re-zoned on the 6th day of March, 1978 in accordance with Ordinance No. 780-NN. The property was re- zoned for a period of two years, which of course, has now expired. We had intended to build 92 apartment units back at that time, but were unable to secure sufficient financing because of developments in the money market. Therefore, the project was not constructed. We would like to attempt to reapproach the project at this time and, therefore, request that the zoning ordinance be renewed. We believe that the uroperty's location and corresponding value indicates that the highest and best use caould be for higher density, such as apartments, etcetera. We therefore request that the re-zoning of the tract be on a permanent basis. With the money market so uncertain, we cannot be sure when all of the elements allow us to commence construction. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate the additional flexibility provided by such permanent zoning. If you would like to see the working drawings and specifica- tions for the apartments, I would be most happy to supply same. I enclose herewith a copy of the old Ordinance and a survey plat along with the $100.00 Application Fee. • Since ly yours F, rrin o eems FCW/hm • ' s ~P SHE STATE OF.TEXAS X - ' COUNTY OF•.
