Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Access Easement for 16 11th Street
INITIATED BY: Community Reinvestment Division
Recommendation: Approval is requested to grant an easement for use, access and
construction to Neighborworks Columbus, located at 18 11th Street, onto the
property located at 16 11th Street, Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia.
Background: Neighborworks Columbus desires an access easement onto 16 11th
Street to construct, replace, remove, maintain or modify the rear of their
building by installing a door exiting the south wall of the building, and
constructing a deck on the southeast corner of the building per the attached
plat. When MaBella's, located at 14 11th Street, put in their freezer, it
created an issue for Neighborworks Columbus to safely get out of their
building. Providing Neighborworks Columbus with an easement to make the
necessary modifications to their building will correct this safety concern.
Analysis: Neighborworks Columbus shall be solely responsible for all costs
related to any construction or maintenance activities it undertakes related to
the easement at no cost to the City. The easement will not interfere with the
current use of the property.
Financial Considerations: There is no financial obligation for the City.
Legal Considerations: The granting of an easement on City property to
Neighborworks Columbus requires the approval of Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the Resolution authorizing the City Manager
to grant an easement for use, access and construction to Neighborworks
Columbus, located at 18 11th Street, onto the property located at 16 11th
Street, Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia.
