Background and Discussion:
Pine Trails Subdivision is in Northeast Harris County, Texas, Precinct 2 (redistricted from Precinct 1). The
subdivision consists of approximately 525 acres and 1,800 homes. The residents have experienced structural flooding during several recent flood events. Approximately 264 homes were reported to have flooded during Hurricane Harvey. The purpose of this project is to reduce flooding in homes. The proposed solution
includes upgrading storm sewers and adding 3 detention ponds. This amendment clarifies the values on the previous amendment.
Expected Impact:
Approving this amendment contributes to the project, which seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the community.
