BOX 846 • GROVES, TEXAS 77619 ~ (409962.4471 ~ FAX (409) 963.3388 February 9, 2009 RE: Deannexation Request Mayor Deloris Prince City of Port Arthur P.O. Box 1089 Port Arthur TX 77641-1089 Dear Mayor Prince, Thank you for your willingness, and that of the Port Arthur City council to discuss this deannexation request from the City of Groves. Please accept this letter as a formal request to deannex approximately SO acres of undeveloped property behind and just north of the Church of Christ and the Time Warner office on Hwy 347. The entire area is right at 19 acres. Two maps are attached showing the current city limits and the foot print of the proposed apartment complex known as Champions Cove. As you can see the project would be in two separate city jurisdictions if left as is. It is our hope that you and the city council will see fit to deannex the portion of the project that would be in Port Arthur and allow the City of Groves to annex this property placing the project in one city's jurisdiction. If the City of Port Arthur were to grant this request this would allow the City of Groves total jurisdiction for the project and would leave all of the developed commercial property within the city limits of Port Arthur. Sincerely, ad Bailey Mayor City of Groves CIIY LIMIT AT C6V iEP.
