FROM: Edwin Revell, Executive Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: Maintenance Easement Covenant Agreement (MECA) for the Killeen Public Facility Corporation's property located at 801 South W.S. Young Drive
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Killeen Public Facility Corporation (PFC) 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, at the intersection of U.S. Business Highway 190, and South 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, are stormwater facilities that include piping, inlets, swales, and detention ponds. In accordance with Chapter 32 of the City of Killeen Code of Ordinances and the Engineering Drainage Design Manual, a property owner that is developing the property must enter into a MECA with the City of Killeen. The MECA allows the City to inspect the stormwater facilities and follow up with any needed maintenance as required to keep everything functioning as intended. It is a requirement for the owner of the property to sign and execute the maintenance agreement since it is tied to the property. In the event the property is subsequently sold, any maintenance responsibilities will be transferred automatically to the new owner.
The President of the 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 route for execution and record the MECA documents with Bell County.
