Although the line from the roadway to the building will cut <br />through an area with existing trees, the trees are in poor condition and have been approved by <br />the Town of Hillsborough to be removed and replaced with more appropriate trees. The <br />replacement of the trees is included in the scope of work for the project. <br />The College has executed the agreement and requests that the County, as joint property owner, <br />do likewise. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with approving this agreement. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the right of way <br />agreement with Duke Energy for underground power lines at the Durham Technical Community <br />College -Orange Campus; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board. <br />
