BACKGROUND: On October 23, the Board considered sanitary sewer easements needed to provide service to the new Elementary School #10, which is currently under construction on the County's Twin Creeks (Moniese Nomp) District Park and Educational Campus site. As a part of that item, it was noted that one portion of the requested easement, an easement that wraps around the new school to provide possible future expansion. for OWASA service areas to the north, required additional exploration. While this easement does not contain the sewer line that will provide connection to the school, the easement was a requirement of the Town of Carrboro and Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) as part of approval of the school development permits. The location of the easement, as it was proposed by the engineer employed by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, had the potential to impact the remaining portions of the educational campus, as it was located wholly outside of the Elementary School #10 parcel. Staff was asked to work to assess and resolve this question, and bring back a different solution to this regulatory requirement. In early November, County staff met with representatives from OWASA, the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools and the architecture and engineering firm for the Schools (Corley Redfoot and Zack). Based on that discussion and work by the engineers, the easement has been re- routed so that nearly all of the corridor is within the 19 acre elementary school site (please see attached map). Only a very small sliver of the corridor now protrudes onto the remainder of the educational campus. This sliver of easement corridor was necessary to design around a stream buffer on the elementary school site. In staff's opinion, this redesign has negated the impacts on the remainder of the campus. The easement language includes a provision, similar to that included in the previous easement, that allows for open space and future trails in the easement corridor. For some time now, the County has been working on acost-sharing arrangement with M/I Homes and Priority Development, the two landowners to the south of Twin Creeks that are involved in the off-site sewer extension to the school. Acost-share agreement has been developed by the County Attorney and attorneys for the landowners that will split the cost of construction of the sewer extension among the County, M/I Homes and Priority Development. This agreement is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the granting of the sewer easement. The cost of the sewer line construction is addressed within the capital project ordinance for Elementary School #10. The proposed cost-share agreement involves a cost share for sewer construction among the County, M/I Homes and Priority Development. The County's share of the cost of the off-site sewer extension is $82,941 (out of a total of $219,931), with provisions for sharing any additional costs for rock removal as noted in Exhibit F of the proposed agreement. Funding for the County's share of the sewer construction covered by the cost-share agreement is included in the Twin Creeks Infrastructure capital project. Specific amounts will be brought back for approval in a capital project ordinance at a subsequent time. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that: 1. The Board approve the easement document granting a sanitary sewer easement to OWASA as depicted on the map attached to this abstract which easement will be finalized by the County Attorney when the revised utility easement map is prepared by the architecture and engineering firm for the Schools, and 2. Authorize the County Manager to execute, on behalf of the County, the cost-share agreement, including any changes to it that are approved by the County Manager and the County Attorney, provided said changes do not substantially alter the agreement in the form attached. 3 Prepared by and return to: Geoffrey E..
