Permanent Duke Energy easement discussion stalls after neighbor concerns; no motion
Summary
Council discussion of a proposed permanent easement to Duke Energy for electric lines serving Origin Park generated criticism of Origin Park's communication with the town; no motion was made and the item died for lack of motion at this meeting.
Staff presented a proposal for a permanent easement to Duke Energy along an unimproved section of Kenwood Drive and Krogan Drive to install above-ground and buried electric lines to serve the Vista at Origin Park. Several council members expressed frustration with Origin Park's communications and said recent problems with that partner made them reluctant to approve an easement without further information.
After discussion the council did not place the item on a motion and it died for lack of a motion at this meeting. One council member told staff, "they failed this time," characterizing recent conduct by Origin Park as inadequate neighbor communication. The council indicated the item may return later with more information or in a different posture; no permanent easement was authorized at this session.
