RE:

Sidewalk Encroachment Agreement and Widening Encroachment Agreement, Union Hill Elementary School Property

Guilford County Schools has been asked to execute two encroachment agreements pertaining to the requirements of the City of High Point and NCDOT, due to the construction of the new Union Hill Elementary School.

The sidewalk encroachment agreement is a three-party agreement between GCS, the City of High Point and NCDOT. The City of High Point is requiring these sidewalks be built by GCS along Triangle Lake Road and Central Avenue. These sidewalks will be built within the NCDOT right-of-way in these locations, and the City of High Point will take over the sidewalk maintenance once they are constructed.

The widening encroachment agreement is a two-party agreement between GCS and the City of High Point. Per the City’s requirement, GCS must install curb and gutter, install storm drainage facilities, and widen the road at this point along Central Avenue (a state maintained road). The encroachment agreement will allow GCS to do this work within the NCDOT right-of-way.

Please see the attached graphics outlining the areas addressed in the proposed encroachment agreements.

GCS legal counsel has reviewed this packet of materials.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the Board approve the execution and delivery of the sidewalk encroachment agreement and the widening encroachment agreement requested by the City of High Point and NCDOT, as described herein, affecting the Union Hill Elementary School property.
