Summary & Background
Scope of Work: Amazon.com Services, LLC, the current owner of the property at 7055 Campbellton Road, South Fulton, Georgia, has requested the Fulton County Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, (DREAM) and the Department of Public Works amend the terms of an existing sewer easement.
Amazon.com Services, LLC has completed construction of the Chattahoochee Logistics Center Project-an industrial development that has a sewer line connection into the County’s sewer system that required the dedication of an easement area consisting of 45,776 square feet located in Land Lots 59 and 63, District 09C, Fulton County, Georgia. The Fulton County Department of Public Works and DREAM are requesting approval to amend the terms of the County’s sewer line easement as referenced and recorded in Deed Book 62815, Page 308.
In accordance with County Policy, all contractual agreements and amendments thereto involving Fulton County are required to be in writing and approved by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. Pending approval of the Board of Commissioners, the county’s sewer easement agreement with Amazon.com Services, LLC will be amended to include language requiring Fulton County to provide at least 48 hours' advance notice before starting any work within the easement area and to promptly remove or release any liens or encumbrances resulting from their activities within the easement area.
Community Impact: The community benefits from the extension of the County’s sewer system and the addition of a commercial warehouse.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends acceptance of the amended easement terms.
Project Implications: Easement dedications by the owner of record to Fulton County are made a part of the public records and grant Fulton County access to perform construction, maintenance, and upgrades to the County’s sewer system once the proposed improvements are installed.
Community Issues/Concerns: None
Department Issues/Concerns: None
Fiscal Impact / Funding Source
