It is assumed in this proposal that plats will only be needed for proposed water main extensions on private property since the mains will ultimately be maintained by Sanford. Plats are assumed not to be needed for service lateral connections to existing mains unless the laterals will be required to cess an adjacent private property. 2. Plats will clearly outline property and project parameters, for the purposes of securing additional right-of-way, permanent easements, and/or temporary construction easements to construct the project. Plats will be generated on a sheet size acceptable to the County, and in accordance with State of North Carolina and Lee County Register of Deeds standards. Proposed easement widths will be coordinated with Lee County and the City of Sanford. Easement Acquisition Assistance — To Be Performed By Martin McGill Inc. 1. Meet with County to review parcel maps, project schedule, existing documentation, the list of approved property owners to receive service, and other important considerations.
