Recommendation

Approve the attached Ordinance deleting from the "Official Map of the \n \n Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia" an unimproved segment of Cathryn \n \n Drive, north of Camille Drive as surplus authorizing its disposal in accordance \n \n with the City Code.

Approval

Approved

Background

Cathryn Drive has a segment of its right-of-way unimproved north of Camille

Drive. The property owners of 2631 and 2701 Camille Drive use this segment as

access to their property (see attached photo). Mr. Anderson Frazer of 2701

Camille Drive made a formal request by letter to purchase his half of the

unused right-of-way. He indicated in the same letter that Louie Robinson, Jr.,

property owner of 2631 Camille Drive supported his request.

Analysis

The proposed street abandonment of this segment of Cathryn Drive was not

constructed as a street. The north end of this street segment ends at the

Clubview Heights Subdivision boundary that is also the Fall Line Trace. The

property value and disposal of said property to adjoining property owners will

be handled by the City's Community Reinvestment department.

Financial Considerations

Community Reinvestment Department will determine the sales value of these

property remnants.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

The final sales value will be deposited to the Finance Department.

Legal Considerations

The purpose of this ordinance is to declare this street surplus and to

authorize its disposal which has to be approved by Council.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve an ordinance declaring an unimproved segment of Cathryn Drive surplus

and authorize its disposal.
