Discussion and possible action to enter into a professional service agreement in an amount not to exceed $10,665.00 with PEUA Consulting LLC for platting, surveying and civil engineering services required to replat Tracts 38 and 23 of the Simeon Park Subdivision resulting from the division of existing platted property to acquire a 4.0 acre donation to Webb County for a fire station; authorizing a professional services exemption from Section 262.024(a)(4), Texas Local Government Code (Discretionary Exemption); authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #740-0204-8801]
Issue: The County’s decision to not purchase the remaining portion of Tract 38, Simeon Park Subdivision subsequent to the property owner’s donation of a 4-acre tract for a fire station has triggered a replatting requirement of the subdivided tract. To ensure compliance with state law and the model subdivision rules governing residential property in border counties, the remaining tract must be combined with adjacent property so that the resultant tract is ten (10) or more acres and therefore not subject to minimum water and sewer requirements or a deed restriction against residential use.
Solution: Secure required professional services to replat property in compliance with state law as necessary to finalize property donation.
Result:Commence construction of a county fire station to provide much needed emergency service for northern regions of Webb County.
