Dear Stephen,
American Valve & Hydrant Company has entered an agreement to purchase property on
Hollywood Avenue from Donna Watson Hebert. The property consists of 2.85 acres making up
lots 14 —17 of the Van Wormer Industrial Sites. Lot 14 is adjacent to our property and is
currently zoned Heavy Industrial. Lots 15 through 17, consisting of approximately 2.0 acres is
currently zoned General Commercial — Muti Family Dwelling.
We would like to request that lots 15 through 17 be rezoned to a Heavy Industrial zoning district.
This would allow our company to expand our operations into this area. We are currently
evaluating a new product line that will increase our sales volume. The rezoning of this property
will eliminate any obstacles to make this happen.
After purchasing this property, we plan to invest capital to enhance its value and to improve its
appearance. The agreement to purchase this property, however is contingent on getting lots 15
through 17 rezoned as requested. A representative from our company will attend the May 15th
Joint Public Hearing, and I can be reached at 409-832-5181 to answer any questions you may
have prior to that time. Thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely,
Timmy J. Sudela
Manager of Engineering
