El Paso Board of County Commissioners – Board approves agreement on Highway 105 widening

By Marlene Brown

At the Nov. 4 meeting of the El Paso Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), the board approved a Memorandum of Agreement and Acceptance of Temporary Construction Easement associated with the Highway 105 widening from Lake Woodmoor Drive to Martingale Road. The BOCC said it has the authority to purchase and hold real and personal property from property owned by Douglas A. Williams and Diane E. Williams to be used by the county for road construction, utility construction, drainage, slope maintenance, repair, and ingress and egress on the project. The board determined that approval would best serve the interests of the public. The agreement authorizes payment from the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPTRA) funds of $670.

During the Nov. 13 meeting, the board approved a request for a subdivision exemption for a Town of Monument tank site by Interstate 25 Properties LTD, Cebleco Holdco Exchange LLC, and the Town of Monument.

The application encompasses 5.87 acres to be divided into one lot and four tracts, as well as the dedication of 7,290 square feet of public road right-of-way. The property is zoned C-1 (commercial) and is located immediately southeast of the intersection of Beacon Lite Road and Bricker Road.
