Mark Sokolow,
Please place on the agenda approval of the location for the proposed RV
Park site. The land is approximately 8 acres located in front of the Parks and
Wildlife building, an area once used for storage of abandoned boats and trailers.
The storage area was moved after Hurricane Rita and this 8 acres has been mowed
periodically since then. The Pleasure Island Commission is in final negotiations
for a contractual agreement which is a 5 year lease with options of renewal. The
Commission has an action item on their September 11. 2007 meeting to finalize a
contract agreement,
This area is located behind a levee wall from T.B. Ellison. we should see no
opposition to this location from island residents or the general public.
Enclosed is a map of the area and a letter from the Corp of Engineers
approving the location.
Respectfully,
Jimmy R. Dike

Dear Mr. Dike:
In reference to your telephone conversation held last week. concerning the
proposed RV Park between our property and thc golf course, please be advised that all of
the proposed area was formed from the placement of dredged material on it for many
years. As vou know. the United States has the paramount right of Navigation Servitude
over this area and if it is ever required for the existing Sabine Neches Canal Project. there
exists a possibility that this area could be used and you would be required to remove any
structures in the proposed area.
At the present time. we have no requirements for this area. Therefore. with the
above understanding, we have no objection 7o you constructing an RV Park on this area.
I have enclosed a copy of a map of the area. Should you require additional information,
please feel free to call me ar ,409~766-3803.
Sincerely,
/Salvatore J. Arcidia[~o
