DATE: December 19, 2023

FROM: Edwin Revell, Executive Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: Three utility easements across the Killeen Public Facility Corporation’s property located along W.S. Young Drive
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Killeen Public Facility Corporation is the recorded owner of the property described as Lot 1, Block A of the Young Family addition. This property is the land that is adjacent to Condor Park, U.S. Business Highway 190, and W. S Young Drive. The land is currently being developed as the Station 42 Apartments, formally known as Tank Destroyer Apartments.
Included in the construction of the apartments, public water and sewer infrastructure was constructed. For the City of Killeen to accept these utilities they need to be located within a public utility easement or right-of-way. The acceptance of the utilities is a requirement for the final Certificate of Occupancy for the development. The President of the Killeen Public Facility Corporation (PFC) will need to sign the included easement documents on behalf of the PFC.
Once signed by the President of the PFC, the City will work to execute and record the easement documents with Bell County.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
1. Do not authorize the President of the PFC to sign the easement documents.
2. Authorize the President of the PFC to sign as the owner’s representative of the Killeen Public Facility Corporation to authorize the recordation of the public utility easements.
Which alternative is recommended? Why?
Staff recommends authorizing the President of the PFC to sign as the owner’s representative of the Killeen Public Facility Corporation and to authorize the recordation of the public utility easements. The easements are a requirement for the city to accept the installed public utilities and allow for the final certificate of occupancy to be issued for the apartments leasing the land.
