Planning commission recommends City Council vacate 10-foot water-line easement in Joyful Park
Summary
Friendswood City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that City Council vacate a 10-foot public water-line easement in Joyful Park after staff said Public Works no longer needs the easement and it conflicts with required drainage and landscaping. The recommendation passed unanimously; numeric vote counts were not specified in the transcript.
The Friendswood City Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 10 recommended that City Council vacate a 10-foot public water-line easement in the Joyful Park subdivision, generally located at 2907 West Parkwood Avenue.
Speaker 4, a city staff member, told the commission that when the plat was recorded in 2022 the developer expected to loop the water line around the property but later bored under FM 528 and established service that way. "This 10 foot water line easement is a public water line easement," the staff member said, and Public Works "has confirmed that they do not nor will they need this easement," while the easement conflicts with the developer's required drainage and landscaping. Staff requested the easement be vacated and the matter forwarded to City Council for final action.
There were no members of the public who spoke for or against the request. Commissioners asked whether adjacent drainage and access easements would remain in place; staff responded that those other easements would stay.
Speaker 5 moved to recommend approval and the commission voted to forward the recommendation to City Council; the motion was recorded as passing unanimously. The transcript does not specify numeric vote counts.
