IYTH f7 i i 1 June 10, 2004 Mr. Larry Hertel Li City Engineer City of Lubbock Lubbock, Texas .Dear Mr. Hertel: For many years the 4800-4900 block of Homestead Avenue, often called "never-never land" have suffered. This has gotten worse over the last few }ears with the leniency of zoning which permits competitive uses to be built in many places in Lubbock. It has suffered more and drastically the last six months with the traffic re-routing changes due to the Marsha Shar Freeway. It will indeed get worse as that construction is completed. P We need some assistance and relief involving that two -block area in South West Commercial Park called Homestead Avenue. You will notice that there is not even a Homestead Avenue for two and one-half miles to the north and a mile to the south. This is our request for you to chane the name of the 4800-4900 block from Homestead Avenue to Fiftieth Street. It is actuall g extension of Fiftieth Street to the northwest anyway. There are only four properties that would need new addresses. They are: A commercial Building (10 Tenants) 4918-4920 Homestead Ave., owned by Allen Hatch Pantechs Labs 4912 Homestead Ave., owned by Steve Holcomb u. Office and Storage 4910 Homestead Ave., owned by Don L. Harris Commercial Cleaning and Storage 4908 Homestead Ave., owned by Don L. Harris Rowe Plumbing 4902 Homestead Ave., owned by Bryan Rowe The reasons for this change are logical. (1) There is no need for it to be Homestead Ave. when 50th Street traffic funnels into it and will even more so when the construction is completed with the highway changes. (2) The new traffic routes are a very sever handicap to our property and tenants. (3) With the street name changed to 50"' Street, a more commonly known name, it will be easier for our businesses to be located and in turn perhaps reverse some of the negative aspects. We invite you to ride it and see our problem. Your cooperation and assistance in this matter will help ensure a more logical and efficient street name and property addresses. It will help four properties maintain instead of loose values. It will help the 19 + businesses there improve their business, and that is economic development. It will also make it more accessible to about 75 more tenants nearby. Thank you.
