SUBJECT: 2052 Wynnton Road - Surplus Property

Recommendation: Approval is requested to declare property at 2052 Wynnton Road
a/k/a 184 017 024, as surplus and authorize the sale of Parcel A 0.336 acres
+/- property in Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia (see attached map).
Background: In the early 1980?s the City?s Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) identified the need for improvement at the Brown Avenue / Wynnton Road
intersection (see tax map). The project was needed in order to improve both
the intersection operational characteristics and traffic flow on Wynnton Road.
The project having been completed has Parcel A having 0.336 acres +/- and
Parcel B having 0.067 acres +/- remaining. Parcel B will be used as a City
Landscaped Area.
Analysis: The property was acquired by the City, for use as an improvement to
the Brown Avenue / Wynnton Road intersection. With the project completed the
adjacent property owner would like to acquire Parcel A. The 0.067 acres +/- of
Parcel B will be used as a Landscaped Area for the City and remain with the
City. Subject property presently follows current area zoning guidelines.
Financial Considerations: The property will be sold at Fair Market Value. The
property and any related improvements would be returned to the tax digest
roles.
Legal Considerations: The property can be sold in accordance with Section 7-501
of the City Code. Property will be sold retaining easements for combination
utilities, storm and sanitation pipes.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the attached Resolution to declare 2052
Wynnton Road a/k/a 184 017 024 as surplus and to advertise and sell said
property in accordance with Section 7-501 of the city Code in Columbus,
