Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: June 30, 2004
Subject: Possible Grant of Pipeline Easement to Southwest Gas Company
1. Why this matter is before the board:
Board Authorization is required to grant an easement on District property.
2. History:
The District's Electric Department recently purchased a parcel of property (APN 17-480-02) at the
west end of Cedar Point Drive at Donner Lake. The location of this property is shown in Figure 1.
3. New information:
There are two developer projects that are currently under construction on nearby properties on the
north side of Donner Lake Road. It is planned that the water pipeline to serve these two projects will
be constructed along the easterly property line of the District-Owned parcel by one of the developers.
The developers have proposed installation of a natural gas pipeline in a joint trench with the water
pipe in order to provide natural gas service to their project. Almost all of the water pipelines at
Donner Lake have been installed jointly with gas piping and District staff has no objection to a joint
water-gas installation at this location.
In order to allow the joint pipe installation, it will be necessary for the District to grant an easement to
Southwest Gas. The location of this proposed easement is also shown on Figure 1.
4. Recommendation:
Grant a 10-foot wide easement for installation and maintenance of natural gas pipelines to
Southwest Gas Company.
