  • Summary of Amendments to Lake Conroe Rules and Regulations
    SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO LAKE CONROE RULES AND REGULATIONS SJRA welcomes any comments or questions concerning the proposed amendments to the Lake Conroe Reservoir Rules and Regulation. Please feel free to submit them to [email protected] by May 15, 2015. The Lake Conroe Rules and Regulations (the "Rules") were last amended on August 28, 2003. The proposed amendments reformat and restructure the Rules. This allows for reference to specific Rule provisions by Chapter, Section, Subsection and Subdivision. The revisions were requested by Montgomery County law enforcement so that citations could be issued with reference(s) to the specific provisions of the Rules. Aside from reformatting and restructuring the Rules, the proposed amendments make the following substantive revisions to the Rules (summarized below by Chapter): 1. Definitions. Certain definitions were added or clarified. Notably, the term "Private Structure" was added to refer to a basin, pier, wharf, floating structure, boat dock, or any other structure providing for anchorage or storage of Vessels that is privately owned or operated and not associated with a commercial operation. A "Marina" is defined to apply to the same types of structures, with the difference being that they are associated with a commercial operation. The term "Encroachment" is revised to refer to any structure, building, appurtenance or other fixture permanently placed upon Authority land, that cannot be immediately removed from Authority land, or that otherwise infringes upon the rights of the Authority in and to Authority land. 2. Boating. The proposed amendments specify the various federal and state laws and regulations that apply to the operation of boats and vessels on Lake Conroe.

  • Listing of Texas Ports
    TRANSPORTATION Policy Research CENTER Overview: Texas Ports and Navigation Districts The first Navigation District was established in 1909, and there are now 24 Navigation Districts statewide.1 Navigation districts generally provide for the construction and improvement of waterways in Texas for the purpose of navigation. The creation of navigation districts is authorized in two different articles of the Texas Constitution to serve different purposes. Section 52, Article III, authorizes counties, cities, and other political corporations or subdivisions to issue bonds and levy taxes for the purposes of improving rivers, bays, creeks, streams, and canals to prevent overflow, to provide irrigation, and to permit navigation. Section 59, Article XVI, authorizes the creation of conservation and reclamation districts for the purpose of conserving and developing natural resources, including the improvement, preservation, and conservation of inland and coastal water for navigation and controlling storm water and floodwater of rivers and streams in aid of navigation. This section authorizes conservation and reclamation districts to issue bonds and levy taxes for those purposes. Generally, however, navigation districts are structured, governed, and financed in the same manner. Chapters 60 through 63, Texas Water Code, set forth provisions relating to navigation districts. The purposes and functions of navigation districts are very similar, regardless of the Chapter of the Water Code under which they were created. More than one chapter of the Water Code may be applicable to the manner in which a given navigation district conducts its business. Chapter 61 (Article III, Section 52, Navigation Districts) authorizes the creation of districts to operate under Section 52, Article III, Texas Constitution.

  • Landmark Designation Report
    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission Planning and Development Department LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: R. L. Jolley House AGENDA ITEM: II OWNER: Susan Elizabeth Taylor HPO FILE NO: 12LM271 APPLICANT: Same DATE ACCEPTED: Aug-8-2012 LOCATION: 2527 Pelham Drive – River Oaks HAHC HEARING: Sept-20-2012 SITE INFORMATION: Lot 2, Block 40, River Oaks Section 1, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a historic two-story, brick residence. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The R. L. Jolley House at 2527 Pelham Drive, designed by well-known architect Hiram Salisbury, was built in 1930 for Russell and Loretto Jolley. Russell Jolley was a prominent engineer and longtime board member of the San Jacinto River Authority. The R. L. Jolley House is historically significant to Houston’s architectural history because of its design by the locally prominent architect Hiram Salisbury. It is also significant due to its distinct styling featuring Georgian Colonial Revival design elements combined with a large turret on the primary façade. Moreover, this property is significant because of its association with the River Oaks community, which is a historically significant example of early twentieth century affluent garden suburbs. The R. L. Jolley House qualifies for Landmark designation under criteria 1, 4, 5, and 6. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE 2527 Pellham Drive On June 15, 1930, a sketch of the proposed house ran in the Houston Post Dispatch under the title “R.L. Jolley Residence.” It read, “Contract has been let to the Benson-Hall company for the construction of this $15,000 home in River Oaks for Russell L.
