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: Kariff Rhooms and Shamion Rhooms, the owners of the real property located at 215 LaChaize Circle NW, Sandy Springs, Georgia 30327, have 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 an existing County sewer 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 within a Fulton County sewer easement area.
The Fulton County Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, DREAM, and the Fulton County Department of Public Works are requesting approval to amend the terms of the County’s sewer easement as referenced and recorded in Plat Book 467, Page 20.
At the request of Kariff Rhooms and Shamion Rhooms, the Department of Public Works completed an on-site assessment of the area, which is approximately 85 square feet, and confirmed that the County’s sewer system will not be adversely impacted and can continue to be properly maintained if this encroachment is permitted.
Community Impact: As per the terms of the agreement, Fulton County retains its full access to maintain its sanitary sewer service line while granting the property owner the conditional approval to install stormwater improvements within the County’s sewer line easement area
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, DREAM, accepts the conclusion of the Department of Public Works to formally accept the terms of the Indemnification Agreement and recommends its approval.
Project Implications: No negative impacts to sanitary sewer services or access to maintain the County’s onsite sanitary sewer line will result by allowing stormwater infrastructure to be installed within a portion of the County’s sewer easement.
