Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Mobile Loaves & Fishes executed a Joint Use Access Easement Agreement filed and recorded in Document No. 2024012437 on January 19, 2024. Travis County is a lien holder of the Deed of Trust, document number 2023008180, made by Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Inc. As a result, Mobile Loaves & Fishes (“MLF”) requests Travis County’s written consent to the joint access easement agreement. The consent and field agreement are appended below. The Owners are parties to that certain Joint Use Access Easement Agreement recorded on February 06, 2024, as Instrument Number 2024012437 in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Joint Use Access Easement Agreement recorded on December 10, 2025, as Instrument Number 2025138054 in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas (as amended, collectively, the “Easement Agreement”). MLF has agreed to add such Additional Emergency Access Easement Area to the existing Emergency Access Easement Area. The requesting entity, Hanover Company stated the following, “Hanover is a neighbor to the Mobile Loaves and Fishes property in SE Austin, and there is an emergency access easement that benefits the Hanover property at 7811 Burleson Rd, Austin, TX 78744. This easement was amended earlier this year to correct for small scrivener's error in the surveyor’s original work. As field work commenced on the Hanover project, our team discovered that there is an Austin Energy pole that is in direct conflict with the proposed emergency access route. Because of this pole, we are unable to access the emergency access easement as intended. To address this issue, we have been coordinating with the engineering teams and ownership on both sides and have developed a proposed solution that would slightly expand the entrance of the easement. This expanded area would create a “bell-shaped” entrance that allows Hanover to maintain access while quickly tapering back into the existing easement area.” The second amendment for the emergency access easement has not been filed at this time; upon court approval of this request, the Travis County Judge will sign the lien holder’s consent.
