BACKGROUND:
NCDOT is in the process of constructing the Western Section of the Outer Loop. The Colonial Pipeline Company currently has a gas line within the construction limits of that project.

The City's Water Resources Department has reviewed Colonial's planned use of the property and has approved the easement.
The property is located at 3846 Battleground Avenue, parcel #0080317. The easements to be acquired by Colonial were appraised by Ann L. Graham with McNairy & Associates, LLC and the value given for these easements is $1,000.00. Property Management reviewed the appraisal and has determined that this offer is in line with the current values for this area and should be accepted.
The property located at 3846 Battleground Avenue is zoned CD-RM-18. This acquisition by Colonial Pipeline is necessary for the completion of the Western Section of the Outer Loop.
BUDGET IMPACT:
