Background and Discussion:

The project is located in northeast Harris County. The subdivision is approximately 9 acres and is connected to Dunes Drive to the west and Cloister Drive to the south. It is surrounded on the north and east sides by the golf course. The scope of this project includes upsizing the inlets and pipes to carry more capacity and a full pavement reconstruction of the roadway. 

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Patiowoods subdivision. Voluntary transfer of property is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Patiowoods Project area, Harris County, and FEMA. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.

 

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to fund the requested or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project will not be able to provide drainage benefits to the neighborhood.
