RECOMMENDATION: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of two (2) tracts of land totaling 9.130 acres to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 411 be approved.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 411 (the “District”) was created through the TCEQ in 2004, and currently consists of 161.945 acres within Harris County. The District is within the corporate limits of the City of Houston (the “City”) and has petitioned the City for consent to add two (2) tracts of vacant land totaling 9.130 acres, proposed to be developed as single family residential property, to the District. The proposed annexation tracts are located in the vicinity of Anderson Road, Bathurst Street, West Fuqua Street, and Almeda Road.
The Utility District Review Committee has evaluated the application with respect to wastewater collection and treatment, potable water distribution, storm water conveyance, and other public services.
The annexation tracts will be provided with wastewater treatment by the City's Almeda Sims Wastewater Treatment Plant. Potable water is provided by the City.
The nearest major drainage facility for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 411 is Sims Bayou, which flows into the Houston Ship Channel. The proposed annexation tracts are not within the 100 or 500 year floodplain.
By executing the Petition for Consent, the District has acknowledged that all plans for the construction of water conveyance, wastewater collection, and storm water collection systems within the District must be approved by the City prior to their construction.
The Utility District Review Committee recommends that the subject petition be approved.
