Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Cathryn Drive - Street Abandonment
INITIATED BY: Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached Ordinance deleting from the
"Official Map of the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia" an
unimproved segment of Cathryn Drive, north of Camille Drive as surplus
authorizing its disposal in accordance with the City Code.
Background: Cathryn Drive has a segment of its right-of-way unimproved
north of Camille Drive. The property owners of 2631 and 2701 Camille Drive use
this segment as access to their property (see attached photo). Mr. Anderson
Frazer of 2701 Camille Drive made a formal request by letter to purchase his
half of the unused right-of-way. He indicated in the same letter that Louie
Robinson, Jr., property owner of 2631 Camille Drive supported his request.
Analysis: The proposed street abandonment of this segment of Cathryn Drive was
not constructed as a street. The north end of this street segment ends at the
Clubview Heights Subdivision boundary that is also the Fall Line Trace. The
property value and disposal of said property to adjoining property owners will
be handled by the City's Community Reinvestment department.
Financial Considerations: Community Reinvestment Department will determine the
sales value of these property remnants.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The final sales value will be
deposited to the Finance Department.
Legal Considerations: The purpose of this ordinance is to declare this street
surplus and to authorize its disposal which has to be approved by Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve an ordinance declaring an unimproved segment
of Cathryn Drive surplus and authorize its disposal.
