Information on Discussions with Piedmont EMC Regarding the <br /> Possible BMX Bicycle Course in the PEMC Easement <br /> At the April 14`x'worksession,the Work Group report included a suggestion for the <br /> Board's consideration for location of a future BMX bicycle course in the PEMC <br /> high-transmission powerline easement that transects the property from west to <br /> east.The proposed master plan reflects a general outline of a possible course. <br /> The location of this course is technically within the educational campus portion of <br /> the property, as per the original Preliminary Concept Plan However,it is in an area <br /> where little activity is possible by an entity in terms of built facilities. Generally, <br /> some facilities such as parking lots and other non-structural components have been <br /> permitted from time to time to occur within such easements, with the <br /> understanding that the power company reserves the right to take measures <br /> necessary for upkeep or emergency access and construction (possibly resulting in <br /> the loss of the"facility'within the easement) as needed <br />
