My name is Eusebio Garza, III, and I am a Texas Certified Residential Real Estate
Appraiser and have been evaluating property and real estate for the City of Corpus
Christi since June 1998. I have experience in appraising both commercial and
residential properties, and I am familiar with the real estate market in Corpus Christi.
I am familiar with the sound wall to be constructed at Flour Bluff Drive and
Cornerstone Drive, and I am familiar with the improvements to be made by
the City of Corpus Christi.
I have reviewed the project assessment roll; and personally reviewed the
parcel of land to be assessed. In my opinion this parcel will be specifically
benefited by the improvement to be assessed against it; without regard to the
community benefit.
In addition, it is my opinion that the parcel will be specially enhanced by
the improvement at least to the extent of the assessment stated.
Thank you,
