This right-of-way serves as the main entrance and parking facility for the City's Little Cedar Bayou Nature Trail system. As such, the City desires to maintain the natural aesthetic of the entrance by protecting it from additional development. Several years ago, the City purchased and deeded lots 7 & 8 in the block to a previous owner in exchange for a small section of property that was encroached upon during construction of the nature trail project. This action allowed for an alternate means of access to the subject property without compromising the public's access and the natural appearance of the trail system entrance. The previous owner did not develop the property as he had planned and the land was subsequently sold to Mr. Ornelas. In order for Mr. Ornelas to gain full access to Lots 25-32, the City must grant an Ingress and Egress Easement across that portion of the alley in Block 1445 located between Lots 7 & 8 and Lots 25 & 26. This easement will provide Mr. Ornelas the access he needs to build his home and utilize his property. Action Reauired bv Council: Ap rove an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an Ingress and Egress easement . g Sabino Ornelas access across a portion of the alley in Block 1445, La Porte. enda ~
