HomeMy WebLinkAbout029452 RES - 04/17/2012Resolution determining the necessity for and ordering the following
highway improvement in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, in
connection with the Flour Bluff Street Improvements: construction of
a sound wall structure on public right of way at the corner of Flour
Bluff Drive and Cornerstone Drive; specifying that this improvement
will be paid for partly by the City and partly by assessment; and
directing the City's Director of Engineering Services to file a notice
of the proposed assessment with the Nueces County Clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Under Corpus Christi City Charter Article X, Section 1(a)(12) and
Texas Transportation Code Chapter 313, the City Council determines that it is
necessary to make the following improvement and orders the improvement:
Construction of a sound wall structure (275 Linear Feet of FENCECRETE) on
public right of way at the corner of Flour Bluff Drive and Cornerstone Drive (the
"Project").
For purposes of this resolution, "highway" includes any part of a street, alley,
public place, or square including a part left wholly or partly unimproved in connection
with another street improvement.
SECTION 2. The Project consists of an improvement to be paid for partly by
the City and partly by assessments. An assessment against the abutting property
will create a hen on the property and a personal liability and charge against the
property owner.
If the property is exempt from a street improvement assessment lien when the
improvements are ordered, then no assessment lien will be created. The owner of the
exempt property, however, will be personally liable for an assessment in connection
with the property. An owner of exempt property may voluntarily execute a Builder's and
Mechanic's Lien Contract and Note to place a lien on the property.
SECTION 3. To ensure that assessment liens take effect as soon as possible,
and to ensure that the liens will apply to the fullest extent even if assessed property is
subdivided or sold, the Director of Engineering Services will file a notice of the
proposed assessment with the Clerk of Nueces County, Texas. This notice will
describe, or describe by reference, the parcel of property abutting the proposed
improvement. The notice will be substantially in the form attached to this resolution as
Exhibit A.
