Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the attached survey/plat for a permanent 3’x3’ Crown Castle Equipment Easement to allow the replacement of a light pole along Roxboro St. at the Durham County Administration II Facility located at 201 E. Main Street (See Easement Exhibit - LE1) and a 5’ temporary construction easement with Duke Energy (See Easement Exhibit - EE1) to allow construction access for the installation.
The replacement light pole will accommodate wireless communication equipment provided by Crown Castle and is necessary for the implementation of new 5G technology throughout the downtown Durham area (See Attachment 1 - pages 1-15). It is important to note that this type of replacement pole has already been installed in other locations in the downtown area to support this implementation.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This aligns with Goal 5 - Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government - The installation of the new pole and Crown Castle equipment is necessary to provide 5G technology services to customers, businesses, and citizens in the downtown area.
Resource Persons: Peri Manns, ASLA, LEED GA, Deputy Director of E, E &S; Mark Odom, Duke Energy Design Engineer
