RE:

Request for Easement and Right-of-Way Agreements at the Southwest High School Property

The City of High Point has requested that the board grant to it (for a consideration of $1) a permanent right-of-way affecting two small parcels of the Southwest High School property for the widening of Barrow Road.  The property area involves a total of 22,227 square feet adjacent to the current right-of-way line of Barrow Road.

The City of High Point has also requested that the board grant to it (for a consideration of $1.00) a utility easement affecting an area containing 15,528 square feet adjacent to the Barrow Road right-of-way. 

Additionally, the City of High Point has requested that the board grant to it (for a consideration of $1) a temporary construction easement affecting an area containing 21,981 square feet for its Barrow Road Widening Project.

RECOMMENDATION:    The administration recommends that the board approve the right-of-way and easement agreements requested by the City of High Point as described above affecting Southwest High School property.  In our judgment, granting the City’s requests will have a minimal adverse affect on any current or future anticipated activities taking place on the Southwest property.
