Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing conveyance of right-of-way and related easement interests to the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $318,839.00, and authorizing a Memorandum of Agreement for infrastructure protection in connection with the SH 99 Segment B1 project (Executive Director of Capital Projects)
Background:
Approval of this resolution authorizes the conveyance of certain easement interests over City-owned property identified as P00087299 (Parcel 315) to the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”) in the amount of $318,839.00 in connection with the construction of SH 99 Segment B1.
TxDOT is proposing to acquire 1.848 acres (80,515 square feet) out of the 17.61-acre tract owned by the City of League City, GCAD Parcel # 428871, as right-of-way and related easements for the construction of SH 99 Segment B1. The 17.61-acre tract is currently used for the City’s Bay Colony Northpointe Section 2 subdivision detention pond. The proposed acquisition area is located at the northwestern portion of the detention pond. TxDOT’s design schematics indicate an elevated roadway in this area, and the supporting columns will not diminish the effectiveness of the existing detention pond.
