Agenda Report#_____________
To: Mayor and Council
Subject: Ordinance for the Weems Road Watershed
Initiated By: Parks and Recreation Department
_____________________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Approval is requested to adopt an ordinance regulating access
to the Watershed located at 3131 Stinson Street, Columbus, Georgia, Parcel ID #
071 003 003.
Background: The Weems Road Watershed located at 3131 Stinson Street, Columbus,
Georgia, Parcel ID # 071 003 003 is surrounded on three sides by single family
homes and subdivisions. Currently the Watershed is used for fishing in
addition to other recreation. Because of the Watershed?s proximity to homes,
excessive noise from the area is disturbing to the nearby homes.
Analysis: Adopting an ordinance that would prohibit access to the Watershed
during the evening hours should resolve the noise issue during those hours. In
addition, to making it unlawful to park or use a boat at the Watershed will
significantly reduce the volume at any time of the day.
Amend: Chapter 4 of the Columbus Code by adding a new Section 4-2.2.
Recommendation: Authorize a resolution to approve the Ordinance restricting the
hours and regulating the access to the Weems Watershed, 3131 Stinson Street,
Columbus, Georgia, ID# 017 003 003.
