PURPOSE:
To consider adopting a resolution to set a date and time for a public hearing related to potential abandonment of a 0.034 acre section of an alley located between 3103 & 3109 Kelly Street, Scottdale, GA that has ceased to be used by the public to the extent that no substantial public purpose is served by said alley. 
 
NEED/IMPACT:
State law requires that a public hearing be held on a potential abandonment of alley.  
The adjoining property owner has requested that 0.034 acre section of an alley located between 3103 & 3109 Kelly Street, Scottdale, GA 30079 be abandoned. The subject property is zoned “R-75” and valued at $9,000.00 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:
