DESCRIPTION

Polk County recently completed construction of new fire rescue station along Winter Lake Road at the southeast corner of its intersection with Reynolds Road to replace an existing EMS station located to the west.  The City of Lakeland (hereinafter “City”), as the provider of electric services, has provided service to the station but has requested an easement over its installed facilities.  A legal description for an easement measuring 15-feet wide for the newly installed service line along with a legal description for an easement measuring approximately 10-feet wide along the northern boundary of the site for an overhead electric line were prepared and submitted to the City.  The City has agreed to the easement areas and has prepared and submitted an Easement document for review and approval.  Approving and authorizing the Easement will give the City the easement needed to operate and maintain its electric facilities associated with the Fire Station.

RECOMMENDATION

Request Board authorize the aforementioned Easement to the City of Lakeland.

FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact.
