Based on a request from NCDOT, PSNC is requesting an additional easement from the Town to install a gas line on Kildaire Farm Road.  PSNC has an existing gas line currently on Town property located at the existing bridge over Swift Creek.  The new easement is needed due to NCDOT's request that the gas line not be placed under the new bridge being constructed as part of the Kildaire Farm Road Widening Project.  PSNC will retain access to the existing easement.  The proposed easement is shown on the attached map.

Fiscal Impact:  There will be no fiscal impact to the Town due to this easement. 

Staff Recommendation:  Staff recommends approval and execution of this request.
