Duke Energy Carolinas has requested that the Board grant a right-of-way affecting a 20-foot strip at 319 Stage Coach Trail to permit the installation of two poles, guys, wires and overhead wiring. This wiring will serve North Carolina Department of Transportation Sign J for the newly constructed Painter Blvd. The requested right-of-way would have a width of 10 feet on each side of a centerline, which would be determined by the centerline of the electrical facilities to be installed.
The location of the proposed right-of-way crosses a portion of this property that is not of sufficient width for any foreseeable school use or activity. As such, it was deemed a feasible location for the requested right-of-way.
The right-of-way agreement tendered by Duke Energy is the same document form that has been submitted and approved by the Board of Education and recorded on multiple occasions during 2007. Legal counsel has reviewed the Duke Energy document submitted for this agenda item and is of the opinion that in the context of this agreement and the rights being requested by Duke Energy, the words “easement” and “right-of-way” are used interchangeably. Legal counsel has determined that the use of either label in this document would not adversely impact Guilford County Schools.
RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the board approve the right-of-way requested by Duke Energy Carolinas, as described herein, affecting the 319 Stage Coach Trail property.
