Council approves two appraisals for Lakeside HOA easement realignment

The Salisbury Town Council authorized two appraisals Aug. 25 for an easement area tied to a utility realignment affecting the Lakeside Homeowners Association and nearby residents.
Jake, a town staff member, said the realignment was necessary because other utilities were located within the existing easement and that the town had been in conversations with Lakeside HOA and affected residents. He asked the council for approval to obtain two appraisals for the affected easement area.
Council member Matt moved for approval; Council member Scott seconded. The council voted in favor, and staff will proceed to solicit appraisals for the easement area.
The action is preparatory: appraisals will establish valuation needed for any compensation or acquisition, and town staff said they would update the council after appraisals and subsequent steps with the HOA and utility contractors.
