7/5/2022 10:52:25 AM Several platted easements exist within the apparently undeveloped site. These easements appear to be occupied with city of Houston utility infrastructure. These utilities must be abandoned through the Joint Referral Committee process. We will prepare a submittal package to include the application, supporting documentation, and exhibits as required by City of Houston’s Joint Referral Commission (JRC) for abandonment / non-acceptance of the easements and any applicable utilities.
