Title
Consider and take action on a request for Consent to Drainage Easement to Galveston County Management District No. 1 through drainage and detention facilities owned and operated by the City (Deputy City Manager)
Background:
If approved, the City will be consenting to the conveyance of a drainage easement to Galveston County Management District No. 1 (“MD 1”) that will allow for the conveyance of storm water from MD 1’s boundary through storm water and detention facilities owned and operated by the City.
Galveston County MUD 14 (“MUD 14”) , pursuant to the Restated Utility Agreement between MUD 14 and the City dated January 22, 1999, as amended, conveyed, for ownership, maintenance, and operations, drainage and detention facilities (the “Facilities”) to the City under the Utility Conveyance and Security Agreements described as follows: (i) Bay View, Section One approved by the City Council of the City of League City on August 28, 2012, under Agenda Item 10D; and (ii) Bay Colony Parkside, Section One approved by the City Council of the City of League City on June 23, 2009, under Agenda Item 10F. MUD 14 has the fee simple ownership of the real property where the City’s drainage and detention Facilities are located.
MUD 14 is now conveying a drainage easement to MD 1 so as to allow for the flow of storm water through the properties MUD 14 owns in fee, but that are encumbered by the City’s ownership of the Facilities, therefore the City’s consent to the easement is necessary and proper. It has long been the plan for the drainage from the properties now lying within the MD 1 boundary to follow this easement route. Prior conveyance documents graphically depicted this easement, but did not properly describe it by metes and bounds. The City’s consent to the easement and its subsequent recordation will remove potential ambiguities as to its location.
