Harvey Way, 220 William R. Harvey Way, 211 William R. Harvey Way and College Place
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Hampton University, a Virginia nonstock corporation, formerly known as Hampton Institute, (the “Licensee”) intends to install utility improvements on and to certain property within the City of Hampton located at 230 William R. Harvey Way (LRSN 12001061), 220 William R. Harvey Way (LRSN 12001064), and 211 William R. Harvey Way (LRSN 12001055) (the “Licensee’s Parcels”). The City of Hampton (the “City”) is the owner of William R. Harvey Way and College Place (collectively the “Right of Way”) running adjacent to Licensee’s Parcels. As stated in the Licensee’s encroachment application, Licensee requests that the City grant them permission to encroach into a 1,570 +/- square foot area of the Right of Way designated as “E1” and being illustrated on Exhibit “A” attached to the Encroachment Agreement presented to Council for approval herewith, all areas more or less the “Licensed Area”. The specific purpose of the encroachment is to install new chilled and heat utility lines at a depth of five feet (5') below the ground's surface (the “Licensed Improvement”). Licensee advises that the width of excavation trenches will be four feet (4') on average although width of excavation may vary.
The application and request were routed to City staff and local utility companies, and none had any objections, but some recommended certain conditions that are included in the attached Encroachment Agreement. Therefore, pursuant to Hampton City Code § 34-86, City staff recommend approval of the Encroachment Agreement.
