Ellis County shifts county‑farm sewer easement alignment to avoid driveway and trees
Summary
The court approved a legal description change that shifts an existing sewer easement on the Ellis County Farm roughly 30 feet to avoid an existing driveway and tree line; the easement area remains unchanged.
The Commissioners Court approved a correction to a previously recorded sewer easement across the Ellis County Farm that shifts the alignment roughly 30 feet to avoid an existing driveway and tree line identified after construction crews arrived. County Engineer Zach Garrick said the easement acreage remains the same and only the legal description and alignment are changing to prevent damage to existing features.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about ownership of the shared driveway and whether the change would convey any rights away from the county; staff said the driveway remains within the county easement and no conveyance of private property is occurring. The court approved the revised legal description and directed staff to obtain revised survey drawings after construction.
