1 Memorandum TO: FROM: Charles Stewart, County Administrator Jim Bruner, County Engineer DATE: January 29, 2007 RE: Application for Abandonment of a portion of the right-of-way on Ocean Street between Myrtle Street and Cedar Street, in Arnold Subdivision As required by the Ordinance, staff has reviewed the application of M.F. Martin, Attorney for Don Gentile for abandonment of a portion the right-of-way on Ocean street between Myrtle Street and Cedar Street adjacent to Lots 6 and 7 Block A and Lots 6 and 7 Block B as shown on the attached sketch. a. SOURCE OF TITLE: Recorded plat April 9, 1889 deed book DD, page 642 and 643. It does not show a width on Ocean Street. The tax map indicates 50 feet right-of-way. The plat does not have a name, but the prior deed was executed by W. Arnold. The tax map calls this Arnold Block Subdivision b. PRESENT USE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY: This portion of the right-of-way proposed for abandonment currently contains the Johnson Rocks and is not currently used by the public as a street. c. PAST HISTORY: To the best of staff s determination, this portion of the right-of-way has not been opened as a street to the public since d. POTENTIAL USE IN THE FUTURE: This portion of the right-of-way will continue to be used as the area containing a rock revetment. e. BENEFIT TO PUBLIC IN CONTINUING USAGE: The public will continue to benefit from the protection of adjacent property by the rock revetment known as the Johnson Rocks. f. BENEFIT TO PUBLIC IN ABANDONMENT: Abandonment would return the property to the tax digest. Staff has no objection to the request for abandonment of a portion of Ocean Street right-of-way between Myrtle Street and Cedar Street in Arnold Subdivision. However, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources informs us that the State of Georgia claims that portion of the right-of-way seaward of the ordinary high water mark. This area includes approximately 28% of the right-of-way that is contained totally within the rock revetment. Therefore, if this abandonment is approved, this area must be excluded from the abandonment. In addition to the sketch and original application, I have attached a list of all property owners with their addresses within 500' of this street. /js Attachments
