This drainage system collects stormwater from the county road known as Pocahontas Drive and conveys it to Mills Bayou. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The drainage system lying along the north 10 feet of property owned by the Crawford’s has been in existence for many years. Based on a search of the records it has been discovered that this system was installed by the developer of the Colony Estates Subdivision and an adjacent landowner. A drainage easement was created and recorded between the respective parties for the infrastructure and the maintenance of which was to be the developer's responsibility, Valleybrook Developers, Inc. This drainage system collects and conveys county stormwater from Pocahontas and Alden Road; however, the county never has officially been granted a drainage easement cover the existing infrastructure. During the most recent repair to this drainage system, the staff requested that Mr. Ronald Crawford grant the Board of County Commissioners a drainage easement to facilitate the future maintenance of this system. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove acceptance of the Easement RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Easement for recording and acceptance into the County’s permanent maintenance system.
