Scope of Work: JBGL Atlanta Development 2014, LLC, the owner of the real property located at 5560 Abbotts Bridge Road, Johns Creek, Georgia 30097, 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 area.
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 to remain within the County’s water line easement area.
The Fulton County Department of Real Estate and Asset Management and the Fulton County Department of Public Works are requesting approval to amend the terms of the County’s water line easement as referenced and recorded in Deed Book 67871, Page 295.
At the request of JBGL Atlanta Development 2014, LLC, the Department of Public Works completed an on-site assessment of the area, which is approximately 1,690 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 permitted
Community Impact: Fulton County retains its full access to maintain its water service line while granting the property owner the conditional approval to install stormwater infrastructure within the County’s water line easement area
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, DREAM, accepts the conclusion of the Department of Public Works to accept the terms in the Indemnification Agreement and recommends its approval
