Commission approves Eversource easement to serve redevelopment at 584 Main Street
Summary
The commission approved granting an electrical distribution easement to Eversource across city-owned Map Lot 22-0243 to provide power for the redevelopment of 584 Main Street (the old Schleines Building), following staff presentation that the easement would run over an existing driveway.
The commission voted to approve a request for an electrical distribution easement to Eversource on city-owned Map Lot 22-0243 to provide additional power to 584 Main Street, the property undergoing redevelopment with commercial space on the first floor and residential units above.
Staff said the owner of 584 Main Street ‘‘needs more power to the building’’ and that a city-owned parcel behind the building could host Eversource infrastructure. The staff presentation noted an existing easement over the driveway and said the new easement would provide the distribution facilities needed to serve the redevelopment.
Commissioner Sebastian Giuliano asked whether the route would use the driveway or go directly to Main Street; staff replied that the driveway would be used and that the shaded area on the map represented the new easement for power infrastructure.
A motion to approve the CGS 8-24 report recommending the easement was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The easement approval allows the property owner and Eversource to proceed with the steps needed to install distribution infrastructure; the transcript records a voice vote but does not list a roll-call tally.
