Report from VP Justin Oates
The City of Rock Hill has requested easement agreements to support infrastructure related to the Cherry Road improvement project focused on the beautification and pedestrian safety on Cherry Road. The easements provide access to the city to provide utilities supporting Sanitary Sewer, Water, Electricity and Communications.
The first of the four locations is 1916 Alumni Drive. This area is associated with the York County Pennies for Progress Project. Phase I is complete and additional work is anticipated to support pedestrian safety. The second location is 700 Cherry Road. This is the land in front of the Winthrop University Louise Pettus Archives. The third location is 1008 Cherry Road, the land in front of the unimproved property on Cherry Road between Richmond Drive and the city of Rock Hill Fire Station/park and baseball field. The final property is also at 1008 Cherry Road and is the land in front of the Winthrop University Recreational Complex marquee structure.
Kathy Bigham moved to approve the easement agreements pertaining to 1916 Alumni Drive, 700 Cherry Road, and the two parcels at 1008 Cherry Road. Tim Hopkins seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
