PURPOSE:
To consider adopting a resolution to set a date and time for a public hearing related to potential abandonment of a 0.024 acre section of an alley located east of the intersection of First Avenue & Rockbridge Road right of way 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 0.024 acre section of an alley located east of the intersection of First Avenue & Rockbridge Road right of way be abandoned. The subject property is zoned “R-75” and valued at $3,600.00 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:
There is no fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
