SUBJECT: Amend Ordinance 2020-0959 to replace survey exhibits included in the original submission made to the City of Houston by Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 542 with the correct survey exhibits for two (2) tracts of land totaling 5.304 acres.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve an amendment to Ordinance 2020-0959 to replace the survey exhibits included in the original submission made to the City of Houston by Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 542 for two (2) tracts of land totaling 5.304 acres.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The City of Houston ("the City) passed and adopted consent Ordinance 2020-0959 on November 10, 2020. This ordinance was for the addition of two (2) tracts of land totaling 5.304 acres to the district. Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 542 (the “District”) has requested that consent Ordinance 2020-0959 be amended to replace the survey exhibits, Exhibit A, with the correct survey exhibits that were mislabeled by the surveyor.
This District shares a boundary north of Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 558 that cuts through existing single-family residential lots. The intent of the consent ordinance was to shift the shared boundary of Harris County Municipal Utility Districts 542 and 558 to follow major roadways. However, the land surveyor for the districts inadvertently mislabeled the land descriptions for the two districts, resulting in attaching land surveys for land that was already within their respective boundaries. The proposed amendment will correct this error and use the correct land description for the two (2) tracts of land totaling 5.304 acres located in the vicinity of SH 99, Mueschke Road, FM 2920, and Rosehill Church Road. This does not change the prior review or recommended approval of the Utility District Review Committee.
Houston Public Works recommends that the amendment to Ordinance 2020-0959 be approved.
