Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to decree that the Harris County Flood Control District declare as surplus property and abandon its interest in a 1.624-acre 60-foot drainage easement along HCFCD Unit Q119-00-00 (Q119-00-00-03-501.0) to Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and a 0.1944-acre 60-foot drainage easement along HCFCD Unit Q119-00-00 (Q119-00-00-03-502.0) to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 213-A, a political subdivision of the State of Texas, pursuant to section 49.226(b) of the Texas Water Code (Cedar Bayou Watershed, Precinct 3).
end
Background and Discussion:
This is a request to declare as surplus and abandon HCFCD drainage easements that are no longer needed along Unit Q119-00-00, due to new easements that have been dedicated to convey the public water through the newly constructed channels. The easement portions to be abandoned will not be used as the new alignment of channels routes water away from the surplus easements.
Expected Impact:
The release of these unneeded easements will facilitate the completion of the Brown Chatham Phase I Residential Development in process by Lennar Homes. The proposed development will consist of a small lot single family development and a small drill site served by three detention basins connected by culverts and channels. This development is located in eastern Harris County, north of I-10 between Garth Road and Hadden Road.
Alternative Options:
If the easements are not abandoned, the property will remain encumbered by unused Flood Control District easement rights that have no use, and the proposed residential development will not proceed.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
