RE:

Authorization to Acquire Permanent Easement Area for a Traffic Signal at NC 150 West & Spencer-Dixon Road for the Benefit of NCDOT, Northern Guilford Middle/High Schools

At the time of North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) approval for the Northern Guilford Middle and High Schools complex at 616 Simpson-Calhoun Road and 7101 Spencer-Dixon Road, respectively, NCDOT determined that a traffic signal would be required at the intersection of NC 150 Hwy West and Spencer-Dixon Road to accommodate traffic that would be generated by the two schools. To accomplish this, GCS needs to acquire from the four property owners at this intersection certain permanent easement area related to this traffic signal. Copies of easement area drawings are included as attachments to this memorandum. GCS counsel has reviewed this packet of materials and will be responsible for the preparation of the necessary Deeds of Easement to implement any permanent easement acquisitions if approved by the Board.

The administration requests that the Board authorize the acquisition from Robert Flake Shaw, Jr., Howard and Patricia Greene, James and Evelyn Shelton, and Laverne P. Hilton of permanent easement area at this intersection for the benefit of NCDOT and so that the traffic signal can be installed per the requirements of NCDOT.
 
RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the Board authorize the acquisition from Robert Flake Shaw, Jr., Howard and Patricia Greene, James and Evelyn Shelton, and Laverne P. Hilton for the benefit of NCDOT of permanent easement area containing a total of approximately 4,280 square feet at the intersection of NC 150 Hwy West and Spencer-Dixon Rd for a total amount of not more than $3,000.
