Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to decree that the Harris County Flood Control District project serves a public purpose and public necessity, which requires that the Harris County Real Property Division be directed to acquire one fee simple tract for the public project known as Drainage Improvements at Anderson Road and C144-00-00, for the purpose of stormwater detention, authorizing eminent domain if necessary. (Sims Bayou Watershed, Bond ID F-95, Project ID C144-00-00-E001, Precinct 1).
end
Background and Discussion:
The purpose of this acquisition is to secure additional acreage required for a stormwater detention basin, which is needed for mitigating downstream water surface elevation impacts in the C144-00-00 channel. These impacts result from the Harris County Engineering Department's installation of a Reinforced Concrete Box (RCB) beneath Anderson Road.
Expected Impact:
In addition, mitigating downstream water surface elevation impacts in the C144-00-00 channel, the basin is expected to remove 57 structures, 20.08 acres, and 0.12 miles of road from the 100-yr floodplain.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is rejecting/denying this request for acquisition, which will potentially prevent the structure from being built and implementation of the project.
