T0: <br />4. Action Required: Approval of the permit from Houston Port Authority to install <br />utilities, pending receipt of $6,787.50 from B.M.W.. B.M.W. shall also be <br />responsible for any other incidental expenses. <br />FROM: <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGEi~DA ITEM <br />1. Agenda Date Requested: August 12, 1985 <br />Date• Aug~t 8. 1985 <br />2. X Report <br />Resolution <br />Ordinance <br />3. Project Summary: g,M.W. experienced problems in securing a utility easement <br />necessary for the extension of utilities to serve their development on SH146. <br />Therefore, an alternate route was established through land owned by the <br />Houston Port Authority. <br />The Houston Port Authority does not grant easements. Their standard <br />practice is to issue a permit for the installation of utilities. The permit <br />is for a period of 50 years and has a fee of $6,787.50. B.M.W. will cover <br />this & any other expenses associated with securing the permit. According <br />to Houston Port Authority, the land will soon be owned by Tenneco. At that <br />time, the City will negotiate with Tenneco and secure a permanent utility <br />easement. <br />5. Alternative: Pay the property owner along the initial route $10,000 or <br />proceed with condemnation which would substantially delay the project and <br />may result in more expense. <br />6. Recommendation: Approve the permit from Houston Port Authority to install <br />utilities, pending receipt of $6,787.50 from B.M.W.. B.M.W. shall also be <br />responsible for any other incidental expenses. <br />~.
