Title
Vote on a request to approve the purchase of property by the Town of Cary
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve the purchase of property in Chatham County for the construction of a wastewater pump station
Introduction & Background: The Town of Cary has been working to acquire property and easement for a new pump station in the northern portion of the joint use area for over a year. The Chatham County property owner has agreed in principle to sell to Cary the 2.8-acres needed for the Winding Pine Pump Station and 1.2-acres for pipeline and driveway easement. The site and easement (approximately 4-acres in total) is a portion of the 65-acre parcel located in Chatham County. With Chatham's consent or approval of this purchase, Cary will be able to move ahead with the land acquisition.
Discussion & Analysis: This project has already received most of the construction permits, design plans are complete, and we are planning to submit for Chatham County site plan review. This project is designed, funded, and ready for bidding upon receiving the remaining permits and regulatory approvals and securing the remaining property needed for easements and construction of the facility. Three primary features of this project make it important for future wastewater collection and treatment services in this area.

The Plan is designed, among other things, to guide future infrastructure improvements in the area.

The service area south of Wake Road in Chatham County is designated as very low density residential according to the Joint Land Use Plan. The project will also provide capacity for Wake RTP and the western part of Cary located in Wake County....
