Title
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Temporary Drainage Easement Agreement between AHV Guardian Legacy, LLC, and the City of Pflugerville associated with the Village on Legacy project located generally northeast of the intersection of Pfennig Ln. and Swenson Farms Blvd.
Summary
The temporary drainage easement is located at the Village on Legacy development located generally northeast of the intersection of Pfennig Ln. and Swenson Farms Blvd. A Letter of Map Revision based on Fill (LOMR-F) will be obtained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to change the boundaries of the 100 year floodplain after fill has been placed on the site. The current on-site floodplain was studied and was found to be ineffective flow. By removing it from the floodplain by means of fill, the base flood elevation will be lowered on both sides of the creek. The temporary public drainage easement will delineate and protect the current floodplain until the new floodplain boundary becomes effective. Approval of this item authorizes the City Manager to execute the easement and subsequently record it with Travis County. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the language of the easement agreement.
