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: Fulton HCB, LLC, the owner of the real property located at 2600 and 2618 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, Georgia 30022 has requested the conditional approval of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to allow storm sewer pipe and related facilities, a private water service line and related facilities, sidewalk, benches and public art within the County’s existing sewer and water line easements onsite.
At the request of the fee simple property owner, Fulton HCB, LLC, the Fulton County Department of Real Estate and Asset Management and the Fulton County Department of Public Works request approval to amend the terms of the County’s sewer and water line easement for this location.
The Department of Public works has completed an onsite assessment of the encroachment area of approximately 1,532 square feet and confirmed the County’s sewer and water systems will not be adversely impacted and can continue to be properly maintained if this encroachment is granted.
The purpose of the Indemnification Agreement is to affirm the terms of Fulton County’s conditional approval of the encroachment of private improvements within the County’s sewer and water line easement areas at 2600 and 2618 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, Georgia 30022.
Community Impact: No negative impacts to sanitary sewer or water services or access to maintain the County’s onsite sanitary sewer and water lines will result by permitting the requested encroachments within the County’s easement areas.
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: The Indemnification Agreement allows Fulton County full access to maintain its sanitary sewer and water service lines while granting the property owner the conditional approval to allow storm sewer pipe and related facilities, a private water service line and related facilities, sidewalk, benches, and public art within a portion of the County’s existing sanitary sewer and water line easement areas.
