Agenda Report #119



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: Quit Claim Deeds along Ft. Benning Road Enhancement

Project



INITIATED BY: Planning Department





Recommendation: Approval is requested to execute 15 ft. of City property to

eleven various property owners of the Cliatt Shopping Center on Ft. Benning

Road Enhancement City Project (from Shelby Street to Cusseta Road) to resolve a

parking issue.



Background: The City is in the process of acquiring needed Right of Way and

easements for said City Project. In the process of negotiating with the Cliatt

Shopping Center. It was best determined to reverse the parking (see attached).

To that, the City will have to Quit Claim 15 ft of City property that runs in

front of the mentioned property and make it one way in and one way out and

angle parking spaces to allow room to back out. Parking diagonally does not

give enough room after Header Curb and Multi-Trail sidewalk is in place.

Shopping Center.



Financial Considerations: Attorney fees for the Quit Claim Deeds will be paid

from the funds allocated for the project (0559-800-2160 82058-20100).



Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: Taking this approach would save all

the businesses thereby continuing the Tax Digest.



Legal Considerations: Council must approve this action by Resolution.

property to eleven various property owners of the Cliatt Shopping Center on Ft.

Benning Road Enhancement City Project (from Shelby Street to Cusseta Road) to

resolve a parking issue.
