PURPOSE:

To consider adopting a resolution abandoning a 1.13-acre section of Right of Way known as Pleasant Hill Way Located in Land Lots 229 & 252 of the 16th District of DeKalb County, GA that has ceased to be used by the public to the extent that no substantial public purpose is served by said right of way.

 

NEED/IMPACT:

State law requires that a public hearing be held on a potential abandonment of right of way. 

The adjoining property owner has requested that a 1.13-acre section of Right of Way Known as Pleasant Hill Way Located in Land Lots 229 & 252 of the 16th District of DeKalb County, GA to be abandoned. The subject property is valued at $37,000.00 by the Property Appraisal Department.  Sale of the property would return it to the tax roll.  The subject property is no longer needed for right of way purposes by DeKalb County; no substantial public purpose is served by its continued existence. The abandonment and subsequent sale of the subject property would serve the public purpose of continuing the productive use of the property and returning the property to the tax rolls of DeKalb County.

The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed the attached resolution and has approved it as-to-form.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact. Property will return onto the tax roll.
