DESCRIPTION
As a result of a proposed residential development the County, through its Development Review Process, has requested utility easements for the construction and/or future maintenance of utility facilities associated with the development. The proposed development is located to the east of US Highway 17/92 at its intersection with Ernie Caldwell Boulevard in the northeast portion of the County. The plans include the construction of off-site wastewater utility improvements consisting of the installation of a force main along Ernie Caldwell Boulevard to connect the development to existing facilities near CR 547. The majority of the force main is proposed to be installed within existing rights-of-way or easements; however, portions of the proposed force main are located just outside of the right-of-way/easements. Three easements have been identified to accommodate the installation and future maintenance of the portions located outside of the existing right-of-way/easements and the developer has coordinated the granting of a Utility Easement from the adjacent property owner, Standard Sand & Silica Company, for the easement parcels, which has been executed and delivered to the County. Accepting the Utility Easement will give the County the easements needed to construct and/or maintain the utility facilities associated with the proposed development.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board accept the aforementioned Polk County Utilities Easement.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
