Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a duly licensed
Professional Engineer.He stated that he has been
engaged in the engineering profession for approximately
18 years and that he is currently associated with
Johnny Busch,who has a degree in Civil Engineering
also from Texas A &M University.He further testified
that the plans and specifications forthe West Texas
Avenue Project were prepared by his firm,under his
direction and control and thathe is thoroughly familiar
with them.He described the limits of the project as
being from the West right of wayline of ThomasCircle
to the East bank of Goose Creek Stream andfrom the
West bank of Goose Creek Stream to the East right of
way line of Airhart Drive.He stated that this project
didnot included the bridge spanning the Goose Creek
Stream.
Mr.Hutchison testitied that on this project there are
two different types of contruction.The first type of
construction consists of resurfacing only.From the
West right of way line of Thomas Circle to a point 670
feet west of the West right of way line of Thomas
Circle the existing pavement will be resurfaced with 1£
inches of hot mixed asphaltic concrete pavement.The
second type of construction,from the point 670 feet
west of the West right of way line of ThomasCircle to
the East bank of GooseCreek Stream and from the West
bank of Goose Creek Stream to the East right of way
line of Airhart Drive,will consist of a7 inch reinforced
concrete pavement,39 feet wide (measured back to back
from the curbs)and the construction of a 7 inch high
-3-
630k
concrete curb.Mr.Hutchison,in response to questioning,
reiterated that the limits of the entire project begin
at Thomas Circle andend at Airhart Drive,but that
this project does not include the bridge spanning the
Goose Creek Stream.
Mr.Hutchison testified that pursuant to Council's
instructions,he had prepared estimates of cost for
this project.In his cost estimate he indicated the
maximum amount which could be assessed against the
abutting property based upon one hundred (100%)of the
cost of the curb and gutter and ninety (90%)or 9/10 of
the estimated cost of the remainder.He stated that the
notices which were mailed to the abutting property
owners andthe notice which was published in the Baytown
Sun reflected these maximum assessments which he had
calculated.He then stated that those maximum assess
ments were as follows:
Resurfacing with 1§inch concrete.asphaltic
pavement $8.23 per frontfoot
Construction of 7 inch reinforced concrete
pavement including grade preparation $29.84 per
front foot
Construction of 7 inch concrete curb $1.60
per front foot
The total assessment for that portion of the project
consisting of construction of the 7 inch reinforced
concrete pavement andthe 7 inch high concrete curb is
a maximum rate per front foot of $31.44.
Mr.Hutchison in response to questioning again emphasized
that these amounts arethe total maximum amounts assess
able against the abutting property.

on a full time basis forten years;that he has been a
licensed broker since January,1946;that he has testified
as an expert witness in State District Court,County

testified that he is a member of various associations

the Baytown Board of Realtors,having in the past
served as president of that organization and presently
serving asa member of its Board of Directors.Mr.
Graham testified that he is familiar with real estate
values in the Baytown area in general;that he is
familiar with the general types of improvements on the
West Texas Avenue Project;that he has examined the
plans and specifications for the project;that he is
familiar with the costs of the project to be constructed
pursuant to the plans and specifications and that he is
familiar with the cost estimated prepared by the City's
Consulting Engineer which is contained in the published
notice and in the notice which was mailed to the owners
of the property abutting the West Texas Avenue Project.
He testified that he is familiar with real estate
values in the immediate vacinity of the West Texas
Avenue Project;that he is familiar with the types of
property abutting the project and that he has made a
personal inspection of the entire West Texas Avenue
Project area.Mr.Graham further testified that in his
professional opinion the properties abutting the West
Texas Avenue Project and the owners thereof will receive
special benefits in the nature of enhanced value
because of the construction of the project.By way of
explaination Mr.Graham testified that as a general
rule the enhancement will be as follows:
Properties abutting that portion of the street
which is tobe constructed by the overlay ofl£
inches of asphaltic concrete pavement over the
existingconcrete pavement will be enhanced $3.00
per front foot.
Commercially usable property abutting that portion
of the street which mustbe completely reconstructed,
will be enhanced $8.00 per front foot and residential
property abutting the same portion will be enhanced
$5.00per front foot.
Mr.Grahamstated that these amounts must be adjusted
in certain instances because of such factors as elevation
of the property,depth of property,existance of pipeline
easements,and soforth.Mr.Graham then proceded to
give his opinion as tothe special benefits in the
nature of enhanced valuewhich each parcel property
abutting upon the West Texas Avenue Project would
receive.
Mr.Graham,in response to questioning from the City
Attorney,reiterated that each piece of property would
receive special benefits in the nature of enhancement
in value because of the construction of the project
equal toor in excess of the amount per front foot to
which he had testified.In response to further questioning,
Mr.Graham again reiterated that in forming his opinion
as to the enhanced values,he took into account such
things as flood hazard elevations,depth of properties,
uses of properties,and many other factors which might
effect the value of the real estate.In response to
inquiries from Mayor Gentry,Mr.Graham testified that
-5-
6306
one factor would be taken into consideration in deter
mining the enhanced value of a particular piece of
property would be the highest and best use to which the
property might be put.
Jack H.Reeves,who jointly ownes parcel of property abutting
the project with his brothers,James C.Reeves and W.
Gail Reeves,indicated that he would have no objection
to assessments based upon the enhanced valuewhich Mr.
Graham testified to and indicated that he and his
brothers would accept such assessments.Mr.Reeves went
on to compliment the City for the procedures which it
employed in the matter of giving notice and conducting
the hearing.
