Background

The Department of Engineering received a request from Alfred Blackmar, Vice

President of Facilities with Aflac to close and transfer title of Jeanette

Avenue to Aflac. Aflac is working on a physical site security plan at its

Wynnton Road campus to include ingress/egress.

Analysis

Aflac has hired professionals to advise them on making improvements to their

campus. One of the suggestions is to close Jeanette Avenue at Buena Vista Road

and use the Wynnton Road intersection as an access point to their enclosed

campus. Aflac owns the property on both sides of Jeanette Avenue. The

estimated daily traffic is.

Financial Considerations

Aflac will be responsible for all cost associated with the disposition of the

property. The right of way will be restored to the tax rolls.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

There is no projected annual fiscal impact. The City will no longer be

responsible for maintenance.

Legal Considerations

Council approval is required to close and abandon public streets.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approval is requested to authorize the changing of the Official Street Maps and

Tax Maps of the Columbus Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia by

officially closing and abandoning a section of right of way for Jeanette

Avenue beginning at the north right of way Line of Buena Vista Road and

the south right of way line of Wynnton Road as shown on map or plat titled
