BACKGROUND
Lennar Carolinas, LLC is planning a residential development on properties adjacent to Spencer Mountain and Poston Park. The intended development will be built in four phases on PID's #136564, #202774, #210660, #202166, #202167, and #135144. Water and sewer service will be provided along Lowell-Spencer Mountain Road for the initial phases of the development. Lennar is required to loop the water line through the development and back to Lowell-Spencer Mountain Road at a second location for reliability and redundancy in the event of a water line break. Lennar proposes to extend municipal water from The City of Lowell's system through Poston Park, connect the park to municipal service, disconnect the existing well, install multiple fire hydrants, and provide an irrigation tap for future use in exchange for Gaston County granting an easement for the water line. In addition to the water line easement, Lennar will need temporary construction easements and potentially a Sight Triangle Easement for a future entrance/exit. Approval of this Board Action authorizes the County Attorney to draft any necessary documents for recording purposes and authorizes the County Manager to negotiate the final terms and conditions of the easements and execute any necessary documents, including for recording purposes. Slight adjustments to the easements may be necessary once Lennar completes surveying of the agreed upon alignments. The Board Action requires no additional funding.
