Board grants easement for electrical upgrade at 12009 Turf Lane; Dominion will restore disturbed grass
Summary
The Reston Association Board approved an easement that will allow Dominion Energy to install a dedicated underground electrical service line to an existing pedestal at 12009 Turf Lane. Staff removed a proposed lighting clause and said Dominion will restore landscaping disturbed by trenching.
The Reston Association Board of Directors voted Feb. 13 to approve a private easement request that will allow a dedicated underground electrical line to be installed to 12009 Turf Lane.
Why it matters: The easement resolves a member service request to allow a home owner to upgrade electrical capacity where a dedicated underground service is required by Dominion Energy. The action prevents potential delays in the homeowner's renovation plans and sets conditions for restoration after trenching.
What the board voted: The board voted to approve the grant of the easement to the property owner for the dedicated electrical line. Staff said the installation will use an existing pedestal on the property and there will be no above-ground improvements related to the work.
Key details from staff: Michael Reynolds, a staff member who presented the item, told the board that Dominion had committed to restoring any grass disturbed during trenching. Reynolds also confirmed that a previously proposed clause that would have allowed Dominion to add lighting "as they see fit" was removed from the agreement before the board vote.
Quote: "Dominion has committed to making any sort of restoration of grass that they may disturb while they're doing their trenching," the staff presenter said during the discussion.
Next steps: Staff will finalize and record the easement document with Dominion and the property owner and confirm timing for restoration work.
