Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work: AG EHC II (EMP) MULTI STATE 2, LLC, the owner of the real property located at 3000 Hembree Road, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009, has requested the conditional approval of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners via an Indemnification, Maintenance, and Land Use Agreement for Private Improvement to install stormwater infrastructure within the County’s existing water line easement.
The purpose of the Indemnification Agreement is to formally affirm the terms of Fulton County’s conditional approval of an encroachment(s) of private improvements within the County’s water line easement area referenced and recorded in Deed Book 67227, Page 81.
At the request of AG EHC II (EMP) MULTI STATE 2, LLC, the Department of Public Works completed an on-site assessment of the area, which is approximately 123 square feet, and confirmed that the County’s water system will not be adversely impacted and can continue to be properly maintained if this encroachment is granted.
Community Impact: Fulton County retains its full access to maintain its water service line while granting the property owner the conditional approval to allow installed stormwater infrastructure to remain within the County’s water line easement area
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management accepts the conclusion of the Department of Public Works to accept the Indemnification Agreement and recommends its approval.
Project Implications: No negative impacts to water service or access to maintain the onsite water line will result by allowing stormwater infrastructure to remain within the County’s easement.
