RE:	Duke Energy Carolinas Right-of-Way Agreement, Northern Elementary School

Duke Energy Carolinas has requested that the board grant rights-of-way affecting 30 and 20-foot strips at Northern Elementary School to permit the installation and maintenance of overhead and underground wiring to serve the school campus. The requested rights-of-way would have widths of 15 and 10 feet on each side of a centerline, and their locations would be determined by the centerline of the electrical facilities to be installed, as shown on the attached diagram.

The Right-of-Way Agreement requested by Duke Energy Carolinas is similar in format and content to other right-of-way agreements approved for Duke Energy Carolinas at various recent Board meetings.

GCS legal counsel has reviewed and approved this agreement and memo as to form and legality.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the board approve the rights-of-way requested by Duke Energy Carolinas, as described herein, affecting the Northern Elementary School campus.
