Whitney City Manager City Hall Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Mr. Whitney: Supplementing our letter to you of March 5, requesting that the City Council release Corpus Christi Industrial Properties, Inc. from its agreement to hold off the market certain platted lots facing High- way 44, we, at your request, furnish the following additional factual data. As is indicated by a copy of the plat of the Corpus Christi Industrial District herewith enclosed, Lots 1, 2 and 3 in Block 1, Lots 1, 2, 3, 48, 49, and 50 in Block 2, and Lots 1, 2 and 3 in Block 3 are shaded and indicated as included in the "Proposed Express- way." You will notice along the south line of these lots across the whole subdivision a 10 -foot utility easement is provided. In the above - mentioned utility easement Corpus Christi Industrial Properties, Inc. constructed at its expense a 10 -inch water line which is connected to the east to a City water line on Baldwin Boulevard. The City of Corpus Christi installed gas lines in this subdivision and the owner installed sewer and water connections. By reason of a 10 -foot utility easement along the south line of the group of lots hereinabove mentioned, these lots in each block must of necessity be sold and improved as single units, leaving that easement clear, because in the recorded restrictions it is provided that no building shall be erected or placed anywhere in the subdivision on a site of less than 100 feet in width. This would prevent the cutting of the 185 feet included in these lots in depth from Highway 44 from being improved as more than one building site. You will note that the 10 -foot utility easement is included in the 1$5 -foot depth from the south line of Highway 44. The restrictions also provide for a minimum of 10 -foot setback from the inside lot line of a building site, which leaves a net width perpendicular to Highway 44 of 165 feet for construction of improvements after deduction of a 10 -foot setback from Highway 44 and a 10 -foot setback for the utility easement. Corpus Christi Industrial Properties, Inc. assumes responsi- bility of making necessary connections to a sewer line and water line as needed for providing those services to these lots. Mr. Herbert W. Whitney - 2 May 5, 1959 We respectfully call your attention to the fact that these lots are being carried on all tax rolls as improved subdivision lots, and it is very urgently needed that they be released by the City Council so that they may be sold and improved as revenue - producing properties. Corpus Christi Industrial Properties, Inc. will complete con- struction of curb and gutter and paving of 44th and 45th Streets to the south line of Highway 44. If you find need for any further information, please call on us. Yours very truly, je�'� LHG:CM L. H. Gross, President Encl.
