BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Briar Creek Greenway is a part of Park and Recreation’s current Capital Improvement Plan and is planned to run from Monroe Road to Central Avenue, in east Charlotte. The trail is within a densely developed area and will provide residents an alternative means of transportation to area amenities including Veterans Park and Chantilly Park. This portion of Briar Creek Greenway is being constructed to create a vital connector and pedestrian pathway under East Independence Boulevard to eventually reach Chantilly Park.
To construct this greenway project, which has a County-funded budget of $11,327,000, the County needs to acquire a small amount of Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) on the above referenced parcel. Construction is scheduled to start in late Fall 2025 or the Winter of 2026. Acquisition of the easement is consistent with Meck Playbook, the County’s guide for providing recreation, open space, and natural habitat protection.
The County engaged the services of the appraisal firm Integra Realty Resources. The firm’s assessed value of the temporary construction easement is $13,400. The owner is willing to accept the appraised value of $13,400. Per the greenway acquisition process established at the Board’s October 20, 2015 meeting, this acquisition is on the Board’s consent agenda because the purchase price is less than $30,000 and is less than or equal to the appraised value.
