Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to decree that the Hardy Toll Road Downtown Connector serves a public purpose and public necessity requiring the Harris County Real Property Division be directed to acquire an easement from Kurtz Properties LTD for access to the future Hardy Toll Road Downtown Connector.
end
Background and Discussion:
The access for maintenance of Harris County TR 1104 (Tract A) and the existing storm sewer trunkline is restricted by the proximity of Union Pacific and BNSF facilities. In addition to Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) not being able to access the tract, as it is currently landlocked by the rail lines, Kurtz Properties LTD needs additional storm sewer and detention capacity.
To meet the needs of both parties, Kurtz Properties LTD will allow HCTRA to utilize existing driveways serving Houston Foam Plastics to access Tract A through an access easement. In return for the access easement, HCTRA will allow 6.19 cfs of stormwater runoff from the future development of Houston Foam Plastics Building 4 into the HCTRA storm sewer trunkline and provide 0.73 acre-feet of detention volume within HCTRA’s detention facility. The Harris County Real Property Division will assist HCTRA to develop and negotiate an agreement documenting the terms and conditions of this access easement.
Expected Impact:
HCTRA’s Engineer has determined the proposed site development will not increase the discharge to the proposed Hardy Toll Road Downtown drainage system as the area of interest was considered as fully developed in the drainage study performed for the project.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended services for this identified need.
