1. INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
Approval of temporary construction and permanent easements for the future West Travis County Public Utility Agency 1080 water line.
2. DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION
a) Background
The 1080 Transmission Main is a proposed 24” water line extending just west of the NW intersection of FM2244 and Bee Cave Parkway to a point approximately 8,798 feet west. The line will parallel, then cross Bee Cave Parkway, generally within easements, for approximately 6,755 feet, then proceed west, crossing Ranch Road 620 and continuing west, generally
paralleling Bee Cave Parkway, within easements, terminating at a proposed 24” water line location to be constructed by others. The transmission main will be owned and operated by the West Travis County Public Utility Agency (WTCPUA).
b) Issues and Analysis
The PUA is seeking easements from the City, among other affected property owners, authorizing construction and perpetual ownership of and access to the future water line. It is planned to cross four city properties:
a) 12308 Galleria Parkway aka "the Staats property" (TCAD Parcel ID 740545, PUA Project ID 3) 1.4139 acre permanent easement area
b) southeast corner of Bee Cave Parkway and RR 620 aka "the Crescent Tract" (TCAD Parcel ID 740568 PUA Project ID 11) .5520 acre permanent easement area
c) 3726 RR 620 aka "the Mollison Tract" (TCAD Parcel ID 541352, PUA Project ID 14) .0625 acre permanent easement area
d) west of and adjacent to 3726 RR 620 Bee Cave Parkway aka "Bee Cave Central Park" (TCAD Parcel ID 721564, PUA Project ID 16) .3882 acre permanent easement area
The alignments have been designed to generally avoid existing manmade features and substantial trees, but in the event there is a conflict, the PUA will be solely responsible for replacement and re-constitution, including, but not limited to replacement of paths (existing and future) and drainage infrastructure.
