When:
Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019
Open House 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Formal Public Hearing 6:30 p.m.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Public Hearing is to provide information and gather comments on a proposed project to improve State Highway (SH) 286 from Farm-to-Market (FM) 43 to south of FM 2444 in Nueces County. Comments must be received on or before March 15, 2019 to be a part of the official public hearing record.
Description:
The proposed project would displace five single-family residences and non-residential/non-commercial structures. Businesses would not be displaced. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program, benefits and services for displacees, as well as information about the tentative schedules for ROW acquisition and construction can be obtained from the TxDOT district office at the address listed below. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons.
Portions of the proposed project area are located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year floodplain, which is defined as the zone with a one percent chance of a flood event occurring in any given year. The hydraulic design for the proposed improvements would be in accordance with current TxDOT and Federal Highway Administration design policies and procedures. The project would not increase the base flood elevation without coordination and approval from the appropriate FEMA Floodplain Administrator. Approximately 0.14 acre of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S. was identified within the project limits. Anticipated impacts would be authorized under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit 14.
The proposed project is needed to accommodate anticipated future growth in the area, to provide connectivity to other roadways in the region, improve safety, and facilitate access to major evacuation routes.
