PURPOSE:

NEED/IMPACT:
The adjoining property owner has requested that a 0.117-acre section of Ford Place right of way be abandoned. The subject property is zoned “R-75” and valued at $6,500 by the Property Appraisal Department. Sale of the property would return it to the tax roll.

The subject property is no longer needed for alley purposes by DeKalb County; no substantial public purpose is served by its continued existence.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed the attached resolution and has approved it as-to-form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
