Summary
This resolution has been included on the agenda to follow for discussion and potential action regarding the waterline easement and temporary construction easement (Parcel 3) needed for the 12-Inch Looping Improvements in 749’ Pressure Zone Project. The City has determined the public need to acquire the waterline easement and temporary construction easements as part of the 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program for water. This project will provide a new 12-Inch waterline along Weiss Lane, Pecan Street, and Cameron Road. This waterline will serve growth in the southern part of the Central Pressure Zone.
Unfortunately, the property owner has not been agreeable to the cost and/or the terms outlined in the waterline easement and temporary construction easement proposals. Staff and the City’s land acquisition consultant, 7 Arrows Land Staff LLC, have conducted discussions with the property owners regarding the waterline easement and temporary construction easement terms. At this time, it is necessary to initiate condemnation proceedings to advance the acquisition process and allow the project to move forward.
