BACKGROUND: Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) is developing Parcel 09100-00-00-01100 for the Southern Feeder Pattern Elementary School Project. To support the upcoming construction and future operation of the new elementary school, several easements have been requested across the adjacent County-owned Parcel 09100-00-00-002E0. Albemarle County Fire Rescue Station 11 is located on this parcel.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure & Placemaking - Invest in infrastructure and amenities that create connection, opportunity, and well-being.
DISCUSSION: Two easements are requested.
1) Dominion Power Easement: This easement (shown in Attachment A) would supply permanent power to the new Southern Feeder Pattern Elementary School.
2) Brightspeed Internet Easement and Licensed Use Area: The access for this service will be in two forms, one section will be a dedicated easement for the utility, the remainder of the area needed for the utility will run through an existing unused conduit connecting to the main utility service along Mill Creek Drive. This area will be in the form of a licensed use agreement which will not restrict future expansion or modification needed to the Fire Station located on the parcel. The plat showing the proposed easement and license areas is in Attachment B. The proposed Easement and Licensed Use agreement are being finalized and will be included with the public hearing documents.
BUDGET IMPACT: There would be no budget impact for these proposed easements and license.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
