Cramerton commissioners discuss Baltimore School easement; no action taken
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed easement to protect the historic Baltimore School building, with Attorney Karen Wolter saying the easement would allow town access and lien authority if the structure is not maintained; commissioners requested amendments and asked staff to seek a right of first refusal from the owner.
At the March 23 special meeting the Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners reviewed a draft easement agreement intended to preserve the Baltimore School structure and protect its historic landmark status.
Attorney Karen Wolter explained the easement would not make the town responsible for routine maintenance but would allow the town to enter the property if it was not being properly maintained, place a lien on the property and bill the owner for repairs. Commissioners asked staff to request that the current property owner, Fred Glenn, be asked to give the town a right of first refusal should the property be offered for sale or if upkeep provisions are breached.
Attorney Wolter told the board she would amend the draft easement per the board’s requests and bring the revised agreement back for the board to review. No formal action was taken at the meeting on the easement agreement.
