SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title

Body
SUMMARY:
Parks & Recreation is in the process of completing a new $2.3 million project at the Countryside Sports Complex to construct a new, larger two-story building, press box, offices, storage, rest room, lockers, and concession. In addition, the stadium and surrounding fields will have illumination upgrades from current levels of approximately 20-foot candles to 30 and 50-foot candles. These proposed changes require a larger transformer located in the center of the complex. Duke Energy will remove the existing smaller transformer and replace it with a larger one.
The proposed easement will provide Duke Energy with the property rights necessary to construct and maintain its electric equipment within the easement to serve the City’s Countryside Sports Complex.
