SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Houston (City) and Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) for the Brays Bayou and South Braeswood Detention Basins.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve an ordinance for a First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City and HCFCD for the Brays Bayou and South Braeswood Detention Basins.
DESCRIPTION/SCOPE: This First Amendment updates the metes and bounds to remove the right-of-way for Braeswood Blvd from the conveyance and creates three detention cells totaling 5.538 acres. Tract 1, 2.577 acres, SY20-037A; Tract 2, 0.635 acres, SY20-037B; and Tract 3, 2.326 acres, SY20-037C. The amendment will also update the detention volume giving the City a total of 17.1 ac-ft and HCFCD will retain the remainder 20.1 ac-ft for flood mitigation.
LOCATION The project located along Brays Bayou at Loop 610 and South Braeswood Blvd; specifically know as Tract “A” of the Meyerland Addition, Section 7.
PREVIOUS HISTORY AND SCOPE: On September 4, 2019, under Ordinance 2019-0680 City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with HCFCD to allow for the design, construction and maintenance of three interconnected detention basins along Brays Bayou at Loop 610 and South Braeswood Blvd for flood mitigation. The City conveyed ±12.831-acre tract to HCFCD for the design and construction of the detention basins on the tract at its own expense. Upon completion, the City will have 11-acre feet of reserved detention volume into which it may actively divert storm water runoff from its City Project(s). HCFCD will retain the remaining 19-acre feet of detention volume for flood mitigation and will maintain all three detention basins, in perpetuity.
SCOPE OF THIS AMENDMENT: This First Amendment provides updated metes and bounds to distinguish the 5.538-acre tract to be divided into three interconnected detention basins. The amendment further excludes Braeswood Blvd right of way from the tract conveyance and conveys only the three detention basins as described in the metes and bounds of the First Amendment.
