Executive Summary:
The Public Works Commission has asked the City of Fayetteville to grant to the City of Fayetteville by and through Fayetteville Public Works Commission, a public authority, a temporary and permanent easement to relocate the current water and sanitary sewer within the Ray Avenue drainage project area.
Background:
The City purchased the properties on Ray Avenue as a part of Festival Park and is currently planning a Ray Avenue drainage project along the right of way adjacent to Festival Park. The Fayetteville Public Works Commission will need to relocate the water and sewer in the area which has necessitated the need for a temporary and permanent easement along two of the properties the City owns. One of the properties, 335 Rowan Street, does have land use restrictions recorded and staff has received written confirmation from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality that the easements will not interfere with the restrictions in place. The other property located at 324 Ray Avenue was not attached to the restrictions.
