Commissioners approve right-of-way permits for a water/sewer tap and multiple fiber-optic runs tied to west-county ARPA broadband work
Summary
The court approved a right-of-way agreement for a 2-inch water and sewer tap at 110 Red Oak Drive and granted multiple right-of-way agreements for fiber-optic installations on a series of county roads, described by staff as part of ARPA-funded broadband work on the county's west side.
Henderson County Commissioners Court approved a right-of-way agreement with East Cedar Creek Fresh Water Supply District for a 2-inch water tap and 2-inch sewer tap at 110 Red Oak Drive in the Glen Oaks subdivision, and separately approved multiple right-of-way agreements with a fiber provider to install fiber-optic lines on several county roads as part of west-side ARPA broadband work.
The water and sewer tap request was presented by a commissioner and approved by motion, with the commissioner's authorization to sign. Commissioner Tooley moved to approve the proposed utility line activity for East Cedar Creek Fresh Water; Commissioner Spivey seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
County staff then described a series of proposed fiber-optic installations covering segments of Baywood and Bayport boulevards, Canal Street, Crescent Drive, Tanglewood Drive, Lakeport Drive, Crestwood Drive and numerous other local roads in subdivisions including Glen Oaks, Baywood and Bonanza Beach. Staff listed per-road aerial or buried distances for each segment; examples included a 2,178-foot segment along County Road 2507, multiple aerial runs inside Glen Oaks totaling several thousand feet, and other short aerial placements on neighborhood streets. A commissioner noted the fiber work is part of an ARPA project to extend broadband on the west side of the county (Paint Springs area).
Commissioner Tooley moved to approve the right-of-way agreements for the listed fiber installations with the commissioner's authorization to sign; Commissioner Richardson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Court records show the approvals authorize the specific right-of-way activities described in the meeting backup. No construction start dates, contractor cost details or traffic-control plans were discussed on the record at this meeting; staff indicated some individual segments will be aerial and others buried as noted in the backup materials.
