ROADWAY RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION PROCESS FOR PENDING PROPERTIES AT LA PRESA SUBDIVISION
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to instruct the Engineering Department, in coordination with the Civil Legal Division, to resume the Roadway Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition process on pending properties in Colonia La Presa Subdivision; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #3085-6310-001-432001 (La Presa Colonia Facility - La Presa Community Center -Administration - Professional Services)]

Issue: This Colonia does not have road access easements between existing Tracts of Lots in compliance with State Laws and Model Subdivision rules. Residents living in these areas are requesting that Webb County build roads for better access to their properties.

Solution: The Engineering Department will request from each existing property owner the acquisition, by donation, of the necessary parcel of land to increase existing access roads up to 50' or 60' (feet) wide.

Result: Improved road conditions will meet compliance with State Laws, Model Subdivision Rules and provide residents of Colonia La Presa Subdivision public roads that will be maintained by Webb County. This will also provide better access to their homes and for mobile units of public entities such as; school buses, emergency vehicles, trash collection, etc.
