§ 62-97. City divided into blocks.

In order that the purpose and intent of this article be carried out and drilling for oil and gas within the city may proceed in an orderly manner and for convenience and clarity in identifying the location of approved or proposed drilling locations, drilling units shall be described by use of the state plane coordinate system (Lambert) for the south central zone of the state. For this purpose, the corporate limits have been divided into blocks containing 640 acres and being 5,280 feet square. All blocks or portions thereof, which are located within the corporate limits, are listed and described in an exhibit marked "A" styled "Lambert Coordinates Describing 640 Acre Blocks within the City Limits of the City of Baytown" below. The boundary lines of each block shall be contiguous with all adjacent blocks, as shown on such exhibit "A." Each block shall be identified, as shown on such exhibit "A," by the number of blocks distant it is located along the Lambert Coordinates north and west, north and east, south and east, or south and west from the intersection of coordinates 3,276,000 east and 708,000 north, which intersection is about 600 feet west of the city hall. For example N2E2 will identify the block which is the second block north and the second block east of the intersection of coordinates 3,276,000 east and 708,000 north.
