Guilford County Schools (GCS) needs to acquire easements to permit the construction of a public sewer line to McLeansville Elementary. The new design requires that GCS acquire permanent easements and temporary construction easements from two (2) landowners.
Landowner #1: The connection to the city sewer system would be from the southeast corner of the property identified in Deed Book 5929, Page 114 and the southwest corner of the property identified in Deed Book 4586, Page 1945 and Deed Book 5287, Page 1238. The easements needed to complete this connection are 10 linear feet (102 sq. ft.) for a permanent public sanitary sewer easement and 28 linear feet (285 sq. ft.) for a temporary construction easement.
Landowner #2: The remaining easements needed would run along the northern portion of the property identified in Deed Book 6550, Page 1785. The easements needed for this section of the project consist of 632 linear feet (12,646 sq. ft.) for a permanent public sanitary sewer easement and 610 linear feet (6,098 sq. ft.) for a temporary construction easement.
Landowner #2 has requested an exchange of the needed temporary and permanent easements across his property for fee simple ownership of a parcel which contains the sewer sand filter bed that GCS owns identified in Deed Book 1695, Page 103. This sewer sand filter bed is currently being used for McLeansville Elementary School, but it will no longer be needed upon completion of the public sewer system. The size of the sewer sand filter bed parcel is approximately .40 acres (17,424 sq. ft.).
RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends approval of the acquisition of the needed easements from Landowner #1 at a price of $200.00. In addition, the administration recommends that the board declare the parcel that contains the sewer sand filter bed as surplus property and recommend to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners that GCS be allowed to exchange fee simple title to the sewer sand filter bed parcel described in Deed Book 1695, Page 103 for the temporary and permanent easements needed from landowner #2, with the understanding that the sewer sand filter parcel will not be deeded to landowner #2 until the new public sanitary sewer system is installed and operational for McLeansville Elementary. The administration also recommends that if approved by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, no additional formal action by the board will be necessary in order to implement the easement acquisitions as discussed above.
