Background and Discussion:

This encroachment agreement grants the Flood Control District access over the Copano NGL Services LLC easement to allow the Flood Control District to construct a maintenance road to access the proposed T.C. Jester Storm Water Detention Basin located South of Cypress Creek.

 

Expected Impact:

This agreement allows the Flood Control District to construct a maintenance road to access the proposed basin for construction and maintenance.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be to eliminate the construction of Basin 2 from the T.C. Jester Storm Water Detention Basin project, which would result in a significant reduction in storm water detention capacity.
