AGENDA #4c
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Dedication of a Private Sewer Easement on Town Property (Greendale Park)
DATE: January 22, 2001
The owner of a lot on Sugarberry Road has requested that the Town dedicate a sewer utility easement. Please see the attached letter from the developer. Adoption of the attached resolution would authorize the Manager to dedicate a utility easement within Greendale Park, adjacent to Sugarberry Road.
The Town-owned Greendale Park (Battle Branch Greenway) property is located adjacent to Sugarberry Road. OWASA maintains an interceptor sewer line along Battle Branch and within Greendale Park.
The owner of a lot on Sugarberry Road intends to build a single-family home and has requested that the Town dedicate an approximately 15 foot by 15 foot sewer easement across a portion of Greendale Park. Please see the attached sketch. We have examined the area and agree with the owner that the sewer connection can be made with minimal impact to the park and little loss of vegetation. We agree that the proposed location is the best site for a sewer line to serve the new home.
The attached resolution would authorize the Manager to execute a Deed of Easement contingent upon the owner agreeing to locate the sewer line in a manner that would not result in the loss of any trees over 3 inches in diameter.
Manager’s Recommendation: That the Council adopt the following resolution authorizing the Manager to dedicate a sewer easement to Andre Tamers and Cindy Cuomo, such easement being located on a Town property described as Chapel Hill Tax Map 49.A.6c, contingent upon the owner agreeing to locate the sewer line in a manner that would not result in the loss of any trees over 3 inches in diameter.
