The construction of the Fairview Parking lot expansion began in August, <br /> 2016 and achieved substantial completion in early January, 2017. This additional parking lot <br /> expansion features a new asphalt driveway and sixty (60) new asphalt parking spaces. The site <br /> plan and associated photographs are included in Attachment 1, "Site Illustrative with Photos". <br /> As part of the Fairview Park parking lot expansion, additional site lighting for the new driveway <br /> and parking areas are included in the design. These site lights match the existing fixtures <br /> installed with the initial construction of Fairview Park. <br /> Duke Energy Carolinas is requesting this standard access and maintenance Easement (see <br /> Attachment 2 — Fairview Park Easement) to properly service the site lighting utilities for Fairview <br /> Park. This Easement is a connected extension from the existing Easement with Duke Energy <br /> Carolinas from the Orange County Motor Pool facility located at 600 Hwy 86 North. <br />
