Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of an order authorizing and directing Harris County Flood Control District, a political subdivision of the State of Texas, to abandon its interest in a 50’ drainage easement located in a strip of land 50’ in width, upon a 214.3-acre tract of land in the J. Hamilton Survey, A-877 in Vol. 1199, Page 592, of the Harris County deed records from Channel Ownership and Maintenance Responsibility Program - Z100-00-00-R007, tract C135-00-00-01-501.0 - Abandonment, UPIN 20090MF1EC01, Precinct 1.
end
Background and Discussion:
The C135-00-00 Channel was realigned in 2006 to a new public easement at that time, the previously existing easement became unnecessary at that time and was to be abandoned. This abandonment will complete the process from 2006.
Expected Impact:
This abandonment will remove the unnecessary encumbrance on the private property of the unused drainage easement.
Alternative Options:
Harris County Flood Control District would retain an unused easement for a channel that no longer exists.
