Approval of the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) Acquisition of Approximately .061 Acre of Right of Way, Approximately .006 Acre of Permanent Drainage Easement, and Approximately .090 Acre of Temporary Construction Easement at 7858 Raintree Road, Wilmington, NC, which has Road Frontage on Market Street - this Acquisition is Part of the Market Street Access Management Improvement Project – County Manager The Commissioners adopted a resolution and budget amendment authorizing the sale of approximately .061 acre of Right of Way, approximately .006 acre of Permanent Drainage Easement, and approximately .090 acre of Temporary Construction Easement at 7858 Raintree Road, Wilmington, NC to be acquired by NCDOT. On October 11, 2017, the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority deeded approximately 1.140 acres of land located at 7858 Raintree Road, Wilmington, NC, which has road frontage on Market Street to New Hanover County. The Board of Commissioners was notified of this action in advance, via email, on October 9, 2017. This property was previously part of the New Hanover County utility system and was deeded to the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority subsequent to their creation. The policy is that once these properties are no longer needed by the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority then they are returned/deeded back to New Hanover County. This will leave approximately .983 acres unaffected. The Right of Way, Permanent Drainage Easement, and Temporary Construction Easement have been appraised by a certified appraiser with the Right of Way valued at $19,825, the Permanent Drainage Easement valued at $1,750, and the Temporary Construction Easement valued at $8,775, for a total value of $30,350. The New Hanover County Tax Department reviewed this property and is of the opinion that the offer is in line with sales. NCDOT has agreed to pay the County the full appraised value of $30,350 and also pay all associated closing costs. The funds will be deposited into the Bike and Pedestrian Path Capital Project Fund. The Right of Way will be used to fill a slope for a sidewalk that will be added and provide a buffer area for sidewalk maintenance. The Permanent Drainage Easement is for the maintenance of the headwall for the intake area of the drainage structure that will be installed there. In regard to the Temporary Construction Easement, the existing travel lanes of Market Street have dirt underneath that needs to be taken out and refilled with better dirt. The NCDOT is going to build a temporary detour while the dirt is being removed. The Temporary Construction Easement is where the temporary lanes will be during this process. Also, this easement area can be used during the construction of the project to provide room for the contractors to work and build the sidewalk.
