Quit Claim Deeds along Ft. Benning Road Enhancement Project
Initiator
Felton G. Grant, Right of Way Acquisition Coordinator
Recommendation
Approval is requested to execute 15 ft. of City property to eleven various \n \n property owners of the Cliatt Shopping Center on Ft. Benning Road Enhancement \n \n City Project (from Shelby Street to Cusseta Road) to resolve a parking issue.
Approval
Pending
Background
The City is in the process of acquiring needed Right of Way and easements for

said City Project. In the process of negotiating with the Cliatt Shopping

Center. It was best determined to reverse the parking (see attached). To that,

the City will have to Quit Claim 15 ft of City property that runs in front of

the mentioned property and make it one way in and one way out and angle parking

spaces to allow room to back out. Parking diagonally does not give enough room

after Header Curb and Multi-Trail sidewalk is in place.
Analysis
This Quit Claim Deed is needed to accommodate parking for the Cliatt Shopping

Center.
Financial Considerations
Attorney fees for the Quit Claim Deeds will be paid from the funds allocated

for the project (0559-800-2160 82058-20100).
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Taking this approach would save all the businesses thereby continuing the Tax

Digest.
Legal Considerations
Council must approve this action by Resolution.
Recommendations/ Actions
Authorize the City Manager to execute Quit Claims 15 ft. of City property to

the eleven (11) various owners of the Cliatt Shopping Center on the Ft. Benning

Road City Enhancement Project (from Shelby Street to Cusseta Road) to resolve

the parking issue.
