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 an added portion to a Water and Sanitary Sewer Easement within the Murchison Road Catalyst Site area that was granted previously to avoid a power pole from having to be relocated.
Background:
The City purchased the property on Bruner Street as a part of the Murchison Road Catalyst Site in 2014/2015. The Fayetteville Public Works Commission is completing a Water Main Encasement Project in the Bruner Street/Moore Street area. To complete the project, PWC needs to acquire 3 permanent utility easements and 1 temporary construction easement on the north and south sides of Bruner Street. The City granted these easements on September 28, 2020. The project consisted of encasing the water line going under the railroad to ensure the vibration of the railroad does not cause any negative impacts to the water line. As the project has progressed, PWC has found a need to extend the original easement to allow a current power pole to remain in place and not have to be relocated. The extension will require approximately 15 more feet of the parcel.
