J V Addition Replat Page 2 of2 Conclusion and Recommendation: Public Services - Both the reserves have frontage along Sens Road, which provides access to these tracts. Currently, Harris County is acquiring right-of-way (ROW) for the widening of Sens Road to 100' ROW as a four-lane primary arterial to be aligned with State Highway 225 just north of 'P' Street. The plat shows a 20' wide strip for this purpose. Public utilities i.e. water and sanitary sewers are available in the area.
