RE:	City of High Point Sewer Easement Request for Shadybrook Athletic Complex, 2921 School Park Drive

The City of High Point is requesting a sewer easement from Guilford County Schools at 2921 School Park Drive as shown on the attached diagram. The proposed easement would be comprised of 2,897 square feet and is requested in order to provide sewer service to the city’s soon-to-be-constructed Shadybrook Athletic Complex. The actual sewer line itself will be located in the School Park Drive right-of-way (not on GCS property), but the city is requesting the easement in order to adequately access the line for maintenance.

Discussions with the city of High Point regarding sewer access for a future middle school on the GCS property at this location have indicated that the appropriate location for this school’s sewer tap could be accommodated using the existing sewer line in the Shadybrook Road right-of-way. As a result, a tap for this future school would not be needed in the School Park Drive sewer line.

The easement grant proposed will be accomplished by the recordation of a plat containing sewer easement dedication language and will be recorded by the City of High Point.

GCS legal counsel has reviewed this packet of materials.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the board approve the sewer easement at 2921 School Park Drive, as requested by the City of High Point for the Shadybrook Athletic Complex.
