Agenda Analysis

Analysis

 

This ordinance authorizes the granting of permanent and temporary construction easements and access easements to Piedmont Natural Gas Co. on property owned by the Metropolitan Government at 1591, 1595, and 1599 Emerald Drive.

 

Piedmont requested these easements for the purposes of purposes of constructing, installing, maintaining, operating, repairing, altering, replacing, removing, relocating, inspecting, upgrading, and protecting one or more pipelines. Piedmont completed the work that necessitated the easements several years ago, but the associated documents appear to have been inadvertently misplaced. Piedmont has agreed to pay fair market value, as determined at the time of construction, as compensation for these easements.

 

Fiscal Note: Piedmont Natural Gas Co. will pay $16,560 to Metro for the use of the easements at 1591 Emerald Drive, $1,375 for the use of the easements at 1595 Emerald Drive, and $1,875 for the use of the easements at 1599 Emerald Drive, for a total of $19,810.
