CIVIL TRIAL LAW <br />TEXAS BOARD 0" LEGAL SPECIALIZATION <br /> <br />TELEPHONE 281 471-1886 <br />TELECOPIER 281 471-2047 <br /> <br />March 9, 1999 <br /> <br />Hon. Mayor & City Council <br />City of La Porte <br />City Hall <br />La Porte, Texas <br /> <br />Re: Seadrift Pipeline Corporation <br />Easement Right-of-Way Request <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />Seadrift Pipeline Corporation has requested a twenty foot (20') <br />right-of-way from the City of.La Porte, running north and south <br />under the legs of the Houston Lighting & Power Company highlines, <br />on the Public Works Center property on 26th street. Seadrift is <br />obtaining an exact metes and bounds description of the 20' strip. <br /> <br />I am requesting that Council give approval in principle to this <br />transaction, at its meeting of March 15, 1999. The revisions to <br />the easement which we are working on, include making the easement <br />subject in all things to Ordinance 915, the pipeline ordinance; <br />retention of a railroad right-of-way spur privilege for the City, <br />if desired; exact language as to the depth of the pipes; and <br />approval from Harris County Flood Control District of all of the <br />crossings of its facilities by the line. <br /> <br />HL&P is requiring that the pipeline be installed by a boring <br />method, with no open ditching. <br /> <br />Finally, the City is going to ask for provisions in the easement as <br />to burial depth and drainage crossings in the area between Fairmont <br />Parkway and Spencer Highway, as part of the drainage system for the <br />extension of Bay Area Boulevard to be constructed between Fairmont <br />Parkway and Spencer Highway. Thus, the right-of-way grant document <br />attached is preliminary, and will be subject to change during the <br />negotiation process. However, since there is only one City Council <br />meeting scheduled in March, staff did want to ask Council for <br />approval in principle of this matter. <br /> <br />Seadrift proposes to pay the City $200.00 per rod, which equates to <br />$0.60 per square foot for this area, or a total price of <br />$13,540.00. <br />
