Aberdeen board unanimously approves consent items including Blue’s Corner guarantee, easement and CVB grant
Summary
At its Jan. 12 work session the Aberdeen Town Board approved a consent agenda that accepted a $40,906.25 performance guarantee for the Blue’s Corner subdivision, authorized a permanent utility and access easement for PCC Realty, and accepted a $120,000 CVB grant for auditorium renovations at the old Aberdeen Elementary School; the board amended the project ordinance to reflect the grant.
The Aberdeen Town Board unanimously approved its consent agenda at the Jan. 12 work session, adopting several development and project actions.
On a motion by Mayor Pro‑tem Tim Helms, seconded by Commissioner Bryan Bowles, the board accepted Resolution #26‑01 to take a performance bond of $40,906.25 guaranteeing installation of required infrastructure at the Blue’s Corner subdivision. The bond equals 1.25 times the developer’s engineer estimate of $32,725 for 7,700 square feet of sidewalk, as documented in the developer’s cost estimate. The motion carried 5‑0.
Also included in the consent package was a permanent utility and access easement for PCC Realty, LLC, subject to final town‑attorney review; the recorded draft grants a non‑exclusive 20‑foot utility and access easement with adjoining 5‑foot maintenance easements and assigns maintenance and indemnification responsibilities to the easement holder.
The board accepted a $120,000 one‑time project grant from the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention & Visitors Bureau to support auditorium renovations at the Old Aberdeen Elementary School. The board amended the Old Aberdeen Elementary School Renovation Project Ordinance to reflect total project revenues and expenses of $450,000 — incorporating the CVB award alongside the town’s matching contribution and existing grant revenues. The CVB letter specifies that funds must be spent for auditorium renovations and that receipts be submitted by June 30, 2027.
The board also approved a separate appointment: Eli Schilling was named an alternate member of the Board of Adjustment through Jan. 1, 2028 (motion by Commissioner Bryan Bowles; second by Commissioner Teressa Beavers; carried 5‑0).
Other formal actions at the meeting: the board entered closed session under N.C. Gen. Stat. 143‑318.11(a)(3) for attorney‑client privilege (motion passed 5‑0) and later adjourned the work session by unanimous vote.
Documents included with the meeting packet — the resolution text, a cost estimate from LKC Engineering, an Access and Utility Easement Agreement prepared by attorney John M. May, and the CVB funding letter — appear in the record for public review. The consent agenda motion and each individual vote were recorded as unanimous (5‑0).
