Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the purchase of a vacant parcel of land, PID #233427, which is a 5.73 acre of land for the sum of $286,650, and to authorize the County Manager to execute all documents necessary to effect this acquisition.
The property located at 1211 Shiloh Glenn Drive is located just south of I-40 and west of NC-540 near the border of Durham and Wake Counties. This location was identified in the Land Acquisition Analysis provided by consulting engineering firm Freese and Nichols in March 2021 as an ideal location for the replacement of the existing and obsolete Slater Road Pump Station. Staff contacted the property owner, obtained an appraisal of the land, and negotiated the purchase price of the parcel. A survey was conducted, it has now been subdivided, and the County is ready to move forward with the fee simple purchase of the land.
The existing lift station is located on an easement at 2000 Sorrel Park Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560 The existing lift station is located outside of Durham County, in Wake County. This location will move the lift station back into Durham County limits as well as bringing the gravity sewer and force main back west of NC-540; therefore, eliminating the need for the gravity sewer and force main to cross under NC-540. Funding for the purchase of this parcel will come from the Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund Fund Balance.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This agenda item supports Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government.
