Vista Road
INITIATED BY: Planning Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested to enter into a lease agreement
with the Georgia Power Company (GPC) for a laydown lease agreement at 3321
Buena Vista Road.
Background: GPC has plans to work on the Bull Creek Substation which is
located adjacent to 3321 Buena Vista Road, a parcel owned by the city. GPC
would need access to the site as soon as possible and continued access through
the end of January 2019. The site will be used to store cranes, bucket trucks,
materials, etc. while working on the substation and a fence would be installed
to protect the GPC construction equipment/materials. The fence would be
removed once the substation project and restoration efforts are complete.
Analysis: The site is currently vacant and is suitable for this proposed
short-term lease for the purpose of servicing the adjacent electrical
substation.
Financial Considerations: Standard lease agreement total costs of $10.00 are
recommended for this project.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There are no annual fiscal impact
costs anticipated with this agreement
Legal Considerations: The City Attorney has reviewed this proposed lease
agreement and has approved.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approval is requested to enter into a lease agreement
with the Georgia Power Company (GPC) for a laydown lease agreement at 3321
Buena Vista Road.
