Duke Power Right of Way for Seymour Senior Center <br /> The Board considered approving a right of way agreement as requested by Duke Power <br /> for power lines to be installed for the Seymour Senior Center on the Human Services Campus <br /> on Homestead Road, Chapel Hill and authorizing the Chair to sign. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that this is asking for the Board to grant a ten-foot easement without <br /> knowing where the easement is going to be, with the assurance that Duke Power will take into <br /> account features such as existing light poles, trees, and other amenities. He is opposed to <br /> doing this without a map. He would be glad to work with Duke Power to identify where the <br /> easement will be. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis endorsed this idea. <br /> Commissioner Carey asked if this was time sensitive and Purchasing and Central <br /> Services Director Pam Jones said that this is time sensitive for getting power laid for the <br /> Seymour Center. She said that they will work with Duke Power, but Duke Power does not <br /> decide on an easement until they are putting the lines in. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that the Board meets on several dates in the next two weeks and if <br /> the line needs to be laid, then the staff can quickly come back with the information. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis said that Duke Power put in the power line to the lift station at <br /> Gravelly Hill in the wrong place. He said that there is nothing wrong with asking for correct <br /> information. <br /> Pam Jones said that she would give this information to Duke Power, and if it appears <br /> that it might be a problem with time, she will bring the information back to the Board. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said she does not want the project delayed. <br /> DEFERRED <br /> s. Petition for Addition of Subdivision Roads to the State Maintained System <br /> The Board considered approving a recommendation regarding petitions to add Willow <br /> Oak Drive, Scarlet Oak Lane, and Boundbrook Drive to the State Maintained Secondary Road <br /> System. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that he pulled this item to vote against it, for previously stated <br /> reasons. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br /> approve a recommendation regarding petitions to add Willow Oak Drive, Scarlet Oak Lane, and <br /> Boundbrook Drive to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, 1(Chair Jacobs) <br />
