BACKGROUND: Elementary School #10 received Town of Carrboro Conditional Use Permit approval in early 2007, and construction began on the school at the County-owned Twin Creeks site in the late spring of this year. Provision of sanitary sewer service to the school requires extension of an existing OWASA sewer outfall from Glen Ridge Towhhomes within the Lake Hogan Farms area to the south. An extension of this line has been defiigned and permitted by Corley, Redfoot and Zack (CRZ), the engineering firm for CHCCS. The design has been approved and permitted by OWASA and the State. In order to bring water service to the school along Eubanks Road, and Continue construction on the sewer line (a considerable portion has been cleared and graded),. easements need to be recorded that will extend the lines to the school. This includes an easement for a water line along the Eubanks Road to the elementary school site, continuing south within the school site. The sewer easement addresses a long segment of gravity sewer near Jones Creek within the County's Twin Creeks property (both park and educational campus sections). The proposed sewer easement follows the west side of Jones Creek, until crossing the creek near the point where the creek turns westward, and thence to the new school. The easement documents have been prepared by CRZ and would grant the necessary easements (to be provided under separate cover).
