School board approves permanent easement to Dominion Energy at Bright Beginning South Campus
Summary
The Williamsburg-James City County School Board approved a request to grant a permanent easement to Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion Energy Virginia) at the Bright Beginning South Campus, allowing equipment and lines to occupy the specified land area.
The Williamsburg-James City County School Board voted Jan. 9 to grant a permanent easement at Bright Beginning South Campus to Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as Dominion Energy Virginia.
Mister Schneitz presented the item as a review of the right-of-way agreement and request for a perpetual permanent easement at the Bright Beginning South campus, which the meeting record described as supporting “ID number 4 of the Elevate 28 plan.” In his presentation Schneitz said the easement would “allow Dominion Energy / Virginia Electric Power Company the perpetual right and privilege and exclusive easement over, under, through, and upon above and across the Bright Beginning South campus.”
After the presentation a board member moved to approve the right-of-way agreement and request for a permanent easement to Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion Energy Virginia) “as presented.” The motion was seconded and approved by the board in roll-call-style 'Aye' responses.
Nut graf: The board approved a perpetual easement that, according to the presentation, authorizes Dominion Energy to place and maintain facilities across Bright Beginning South Campus; the easement was presented as part of the district’s Elevate 28 plan support items and approved without extended debate.
Details and next steps: The board vote transfers the easement right to the utility; the presentation did not provide a legal description or a map in the transcript, nor did it record financial compensation or mitigation terms. The board-approved motion and the presentation text in the record identify Dominion Energy Virginia as the grantee and cite the request as a permanent, perpetual easement. The board did not request further study in the recorded discussion and directed no additional conditions in the motion.
Ending: The board adopted the easement as presented; the division or board office will follow any internal steps to complete the agreement and record the easement.
