PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 17 Responses in Favor . Responses in Opposition LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES Being Lot 27, Block 'T", Ida Reed Addition, City of Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas, containing 0.26 acres, more or less, October 23, 2000 We, Paul E. and Betty J. Pate are requesting permission to construct a one-story apartment for my parents so that we may care for them. My dad has heart problems and is a diabetic and is experiencing numbness in his legs from the diabetes. We know his driving time is limited and my mother is not able to drive at all. We would like to be able to allow them their continued freedom and privacy which is important to them, yet be able to assist them whenever necessary. We would like to construct an approximately 800 square foot apartment which will be built and painted to match our home. We will landscape the apartment, put in a cement driveway, and build a carport onto our garage which will be a great improvement not only to our property but also the surrounding properties. The cement driveway which will be replacing our brick driveway will provide access both to our home and to the apartment. For future reference, in what we hope to be a very long time when my parents are no longer with us, we will attach the apartment to our home as an addition. We will be very careful so as not to cause our neighbors any disturbance either during or after construction. On behalf of my parents and ourselves we wish to express our appreciation for your consideration in this matter. Thank you all very much Paul E. Pate Betty I Pate i 5- 3 a - P D-25 91 ?
