Nederland Plan Commission
Attention: Mr. Tom Lee, Jr., Chairman
932 17th Street
Nederland, Texas - 77627
Gentlemen:
A question has arisen regarding the 1.87 Acre Tract in the 1300 Block of Twin -City
Highway which we Rezoned by An Amendment to Ordinance 146 on January 25 from Residential
to Commercial.
This action was taken in accordance with Article 1011, Vernon's Revised Civil Statutes,
the City Charter, and Ordinance 146, and resulted from the following:
1. About 1960: County purchased approximately 1/2 of the portion zoned Commercial for
the widening of Twin -City Highway.
2. October, 1965: Mrs. Rauwerda, the Property Owner, requested a Meeting with the
Plan Commission to present a proposal to increase the depth of the Commercial zone
along Twin -City Highway.
3. November 26: Notice of a Meeting sent to the Plan Commission with this proposition
as one of the Agenda Items.
4. November 29: Plan Commission considered and approved a Recommendation on Proposition.
5. December 14: City Council accepted the Recommendation and called a. Public Hearing
for January 11, 6:30 P. M.
17
Minutes Continued, March 22, 1966
6. December 23, December 30, January 6: "Notice of Public Hearing" published in the
Legal Section of the Mid- County Review.
7. January 8, January 12: Item included in mews Articles of the Port Arthur News.
8. January 11: Public Hearing conducted during Council Meeting and no one present in
favor of, or in opposition to, such Proposal; action tabled until next Meeting.
9. January 25: Public Hearing continued and Mrs. Rauwerda spoke in favor of the Propo-
sition to Rezone; no one spoke for opposition when invited to do so by Mayor; An
Amendment to Ordinance 146 was then adopted by the City Council providing for Rezoning
of such Tract from Residential to Commercial.
10. January 26: Item included in a News Article of Port Arthur News as having been
approved.
11. February: No question registered.
12. March 8: Petition of 100 citizens in the area up to three blocks from the Rauwerda
Property received, as attached; it was brought to the City Council's attention that
other area Cities, as a matter of Policy, notify Property Owners within 2001 of the
scheduled Public Hearing on a Rezoning Proposal.
Commercial Zones exist along Twin -City Highway, along Helena Avenue, and along Canal
Avenue; which are about the same distance as this area from some of the petitioner's
property.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Rezoning was done in accordance with applicable laws; however, it has been a practice
to zone an area between Commercial and Residential as "Semi - Residential and Parking
District" - to provide a sort of "buffer zone between these districts," where possible.
The petitioners present during the March 8th Council Meeting stated that "No Protest" was
registered at the Public Hearing as none of these Citizens within 2001 of the location
were aware of the Proposition.
It is, therefore, the recommendation of the City Councilthat the Planning Committee call
a Meeting for 7:00 P. M., Monday, April 4th, to consider recommending that the back 1001
depth (1001 x 195.69, along Cessac Addition, Section 1) be Rezoned from Commercial to
"Semi - Residential and Parking District."
This recommendation, if given, could be considered during the Council Meeting of April 12th.

We have one little park but it isn't enough. We need a better park. Once we went

and shall not give off pungent, toxic, or obnoxious odors or smoke in
the presence of temperatures in excess of 2500 F. in the duct. The
requirement that linings inside air ducts be fire - resistive is intended
to mean that they should be of low fire hazard; that is, be resistant to
ignition and burning to a high degree. Any material listed in Under-
writers' Laboratories, Inc. , Fire Protection Equipment List under the
heading Building Materials -- Hazard Classification (Fire) with a flame
spread rating not higher than twenty -five without evidence of continued
progressive combustion and with a smoke developed rating not higher
