BACKGROUND
This item authorizes a settlement in lieu of proceeding with condemnation from Plains Capital Bank, of approximately 16,022 square feet of land for right-of-way and 14,167 square feet of land for a temporary working space easement located in Dallas County for the Southwest 120/96-inch Water Transmission Pipeline Project. This settlement will allow acquisition of the property without further condemnation proceedings.
This acquisition is part of the Long Range Water Master Plan and the Water Distribution Master Plan. The water transmission main is required to facilitate conveyance of treated water to the south and southwest portions of Dallas and its customer cities. Installation of approximately 32 miles of 96-inch and 120-inch water transmission pipeline is needed to meet near term critical demands associated with the population growth as determined through master planning efforts. The overall pipeline is sized to meet future water demands. The consideration is based on an independent appraisal. There are no relocation benefits associated.
