Subdivision Committee.
Bryan- Committee's Recommendation - Annexation Undeveloped Acreage
Councilman Bryan gave a detailed report on the extensive
study made by the Annexation and Subdivision Committee relative
to undeveloped acreage lying southeast of the city limits of
Baytown. It was the opinion of the Committee that an effort
should be made to speed development of the acreage. A portion
of the area could be developed as residential sites and other
sections would be attractive to industry only, and such ann-
exation would be to the best interest of Baytown. Robert
Strickland, a local attorney representing Ashbel Smith Land
Company, and one of the property owners to be effected if
the annexation is approved, presented arguments against the
annexation and filed a letter from Mr. Lester Settegast,
Attorney at Law, requesting a hearing as provided in Article
I, Section 9 of the Charter of the City of Baytown. Mr Sette-
gast represents Bay & Bayou, inc., The Mound Company, and the
Robert A. Welch Foundations. After a lengthy discussion,
City Manager LeFevre introduced and read ordinances extending
the city limits of the City of Baytown to include approxi-
mately 2 square miles of undeveloped land southeast of the
City. Councilman Ward moved to adopt the ordinances as read.
