Request for approval of a certain project, decreeing the project to be a public necessity and convenience, directing the Harris County Real Property Division to acquire, and authorizing eminent domain, if necessary, for forty-nine (49) fee simple tracts for the public project known as Houmont Park Subdivision Drainage Improvements - 2018 project, for the purpose of channel improvements & stormwater detention, UPIN 19101MF14G01, Precinct 1.
end
Background and Discussion:
This project is in Greens Bayou (P100-00-00) watershed in East Houston, east of John Ralston Road. The existing drainage system is comprised of three earthen, trapezoidal open channels (P110-00-00, P110-04-00 and P117-00-00) owned and maintained by Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD). The proposed improvements include regrading the existing roadside ditches, 1,000-feet east and west of the existing drainage channels, replacing inadequate driveway and roadway culverts and channel improvements of the HCFCD Unit No P110-00-00, P110-04-00 and P117-00-00. Other improvements include multiple detention basins to cause no adverse impacts downstream.
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 community. This modification 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 Houmont Park Subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. No staffing impacts expected with the fiscal impact for this project coming from the 1080 Fund, Special Mobility Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division Subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future.
Alternative Options:
No alternative option for this project. The project would not be completed.
