A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DISPOSE OF THE STREET SEGMENT OF

GREEN ISLAND DRIVE AND RIGHT-OF-WAY BEGINNING AT THE NORTH RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF

NEWLY CONSTRUCTED GREEN ISLAND DRIVE CUL-DE-SAC AT GAINES CREEK ROAD

NORTHEASTERLY TO THE WEST RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF RIVER ROAD TO COLUMBUS REGIONAL

SENIOR LIVING, INC. BY QUIT CLAIM DEED.

WHEREAS, Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc. is developing a Continuing Care

Retirement Community on 40 acres of property between River Road and Green

Island Drive having 196 Apartment Homes and Garden Villas; and,

WHEREAS, Green Island Drive runs directly through this development which

creates potential conflicts with residents and patients having to cross a

public roadway; and,

WHEREAS, the developer has worked with the adjoining property owners of Gaines

Creek Subdivision agreeing to certain improvements in order to permanently

close Green Island Drive; and,

WHEREAS, the closure is deemed to be in the public interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES:

The following improvements shall be made as a condition of this street

closure:

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to provide a pedestrian access

onto the Spring Harbor entrance road from the planned cul-de-sac at the

intersection of Green Island Drive and Gaines Creek Road.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., will install a fountain at the planned

pond located between the facility front door and the neighbor's property with

the intent of aerating the pond at all times.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., will plant an evergreen screen along

the edge of Green Island Drive between the road and the five neighborhood's

property. The plant material planned for this screen is the same material

currently planted in the area, Illeagnus. Columbus Regional Senior Living,

Inc., will plant three gallon sized plants at five foot intervals and will

attempt to do so early in the construction process so as to allow for growth

before opening.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., will agree to "shield" street lights

on the west side of Green Island Drive to direct the light emitted on to

Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc. property only.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to increase the screening of

Garden Villas 40-42 as specified in the "Supplemental Screening Plan" dated

June 3, 2003, which is made part of this document by reference.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to pay the reasonable and

customary fees for the legal work and survey work required to affect this

transfer.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to create a permanent 50 foot

buffer zone from the edge of lot 1 through lot 6. Columbus Regional Senior

Living, Inc., will record a covenant to prevent any development in the above

buffer zone (excluding roads, retaining walls, utilities or other installations

mandated by local building codes or requirements).

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., has agreed to engage Bob Best of Best

Landscaping to prepare a landscape plan of evergreen trees and plantings to be

installed between lots 1 through 5 and Green Island Drive. This plan will be

developed in consultation with these five homeowners and Columbus Regional

Senior Living, Inc., agrees to implement this plan so long as the requests of

the homeowners are reasonable in nature.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to maintain, in perpetuity, the

drainage ditches contiguous to lots 1 through 5, along both sides of Green

Island Drive to insure positive water flow and to prevent standing water.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees, through an arrangement with

the City, to have installed curb, gutter, sidewalks and resurfacing of Green

Island Drive from Gaines Creek Road to Mountainbrook Road.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to replace the streetlights

along Green Island Drive between Gaines Creek Road and Mountainbrook Road. The

streetlights to be used are envisioned to be the ones currently in use in the

section of Green Island Drive scheduled to be transferred to Columbus Regional

Senior Living, Inc.

? Columbus Regional Senior Living, Inc., agrees to contribute $40,000 for the

installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of River Road (SR 219) and

Double Churches Road.
