PUBLIC PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION - JRC ADMINISTRATION
NEED TO ABANDON, MODIFY OR DEDICATE A NEW PUBLIC EASEMENT OR RIGHT-OF-WAY?
Whether you're developing or selling property in conjunction with a building project, you frequently have to relocate City infrastructure such as street right-of-way or underground utilities. In the City of Houston, these requests are processed by the Joint Referral Committee ("JRC"). In other communities, there are complicated and often frustrating processes that you must follow to the letter of the law. If you are dedicating a new public easement by separate instrument, there could also be tremendous amount of coordination necessary between a host of key players - controlling government jurisdictions, special utility districts, legal counsel, engineers, architects, etc.
