Street dedication ceremony held at Sunilandings
The streets of Sunilandings,
the new residential and comm-
ercial waterfront development at
Port Alto, were dedicated to
Calhoun County in ceremonies
Thursday sponsored by the Port
Lavaca Calhoun County Chamber
of Commerce.
Built fo meet county specifi-
cations, the 1.5 miles of paved
streets are part of the first phase
of the Sunilandings resort de-
velopment located on Caranca-
hua Bay, near Palacios and Port
Lavaca. Phase 1 includes 71 acres
of the planned 400-acre comm-
unity, with 45 acres given over to
channels, marinas and streets.
Pants pilferings
probed by police
A thief, or thieves with a
preference for pants, made off
with 51,268 in cash and jewelry
during two residential burglaries
over the weekend.
According to police the two
incidents occurred at two houses
along Main Street shortly after 1
a.m. Sunday.
Gregorio Sanchez, Jr., 815
Main, told police that someone
had entered his house and took a
pair of pants which contained a
billfold with $640 along with two
rings Valued at $438. Also
missing were credit cards and
c!‘Vi
driver’s license.
Julia Muniz, 914 Main, report-
ed a pair of pants, also con-
taining a billfold and $150, along
with a second billfold with $40
were discovered missing around
1:30 a.m. Saturday.
Sunday, July 15 James Scott of
Bsyfront Trailer Park reported
that a yellow Huffy Scout bicycle
valued at $100 had been taken.
James Moore of Circle L Trailer
Park told police that a cassette
tape player and 7-8 tapes were
taken from his pickup while
parked at the Pavilion Park.
Accepting the streets for Cal-
houn County was Roy Smith,
county foreman for Precinct 3, in
which Sunilandings is located.
The streets were presented by
Anita L. Koop, owner and
developer of the property.
The exclusive waterfront com-
munity, designed for single-fam-
ily dwellings, will be developed
in three phases. A total of 139
home sites are expected to be
developed in the first phase.
Plans include the addition of
small marinas, with a unique
floating dock system for boats up
to 60 ft. in length. Also planned
are a waterfront club and restau-
rant complex, a hotel/boatel
facility, health club and tennis
courts.
Preservation and enhancement
of the environment are of pri-
mary concern to Ms. Koop, who
explained that all development is
limited io singie-famiiy dwell-
ings, with no high-density areas
permitted on the 400-acre site.
"I’ve lived in this area all of
my life, and have a great
appreciation for the quality of life
available here," Ms. Koop said.

appeal to the customer.
Students earn
BA degrees
Two area students were among
the 1,047 students that were
planned to provide steady growth
of a stable resort community,
rather than the sudden spurts of
growth you can expect in a high-
density area.”
Unique features of the comm-
unity include the design, which is
unlike those of other resort areas
in the state. In addition to
increasing the number of water-
front lots available, the building
of numerous navigable channels
has provided new areas of
development for marine life, with
channel depths and related fac-
tors carefully calculated to pro-
vide good circulation and other
optimum conditions necessary
for marine life to flourish. These
channels, with grassed banks,
provide residents with easy boat
access to their homes via docks
on the bay and channels.
Another unusual aspect of
Sunilandings is that the develop-
ment has its own on-site water
supply, with water and sewage
treatment plants which exceed
Koop said. “We realize that
many property owners will be
‘part-time’ residents who live in
other areas and come here on
holidays and weekends. We want
to provide a stable environment
that will bring business and new
people into the area, but in a way
that will provide comfortable
growth, and be of benefit to all
concerned."
Ms. Koop said a major con-
sideration in planning the devel-
opment was the location, which
she considers excellent for a
resort development.
