TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: Property Disposition ? 3228 Levy Road

Recommendation: Approval is requested to declare property at 3228 Levy Road

Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia (see attached map).



Background: The Housing Authority of Columbus Georgia acquired the property

under the provisions of Georgia?s Urban Redevelopment Law (O.C.G.A. Title 36,

the City from the Housing Authority in 1998. The City has no further use for

said property and the property is to be developed to promote economic

development in Columbus South.



Analysis: Prior to acquisition or control, by the City, the property was used

for residential purposes. Subject property presently follows current area

zoning guidelines. It has been determined that the City will not need said

property in the foreseeable future.



Financial Considerations: The property will be sold at Fair Market Value or

greater. 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.

Road a/k/a 063 018 030 as surplus and to advertise and sell said property in

accordance with Section 7-501 of the city Code in Columbus, Muscogee County,
