Ellie,
RWSA has reviewed the site plan and accompanying comment response letter for the CHO Airport Surface Parking
Expansion as prepared by Delta Airport Consultants, Inc. and dated May 2014 and has the following comment for the
applicant:
Sheet L -2 (RWSA Comment 8 from Comment Response Letter):
RWSA does not permit any trees, shrubs, structures, fences, or obstacles to be placed within an easement. The
existing water line easement (dated August 14, 2008, attached) states in paragraph 5 that "new trees, shrubs,
fences, buildings, overhangs, or other improvements or obstructions shall not be placed within the easement
conveyed herein." Additionally, it states the following in paragraph 8:
"The easement provided for herein shall include the right of the Authority to cut any trees, brush and
shrubbery, remove obstructions and take other similar action reasonably necessary to provide
economical and safe water line installation, operation, and maintenance. The Authority shall have no
responsibility to the Grantor, its successors or assigns, to replace or reimburse the cost of said trees,
brush and shrubbery or obstructions if cut or removed or otherwise damaged."
I have attached a list of acceptable groundcover options for placement within the 20' RWSA easement for
reference.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Victoria
