Transit.

Public Service Committee Meeting
10/26/2009 12:30 PM
Motion for Pedestrian Easement
Department:Law
Caption:Motion to approve Pedestrian Easement Agreement between Augusta’s Historic
Cottage Cemetery, Inc.,a Georgia Non-Profit Corporation, and Augusta-Richmond
County for the purposes of constructing, installing, acquiring, and maintaining a ten
feet (10’) public pedestrian pathway across and through Cottage Cemetery.
Background:
Apple Valley Park abuts Cottage Cemetery, both of which abuts Apple Valley
Subdivision. Minor children and other pedestrians are endangered by having to walk
unto or near heavily-travelled Marvin Griffin Road in order to access park.
Analysis:The public, in general, and residents of nearby Apple Valley Subdivision, in
particular, should have safe and reasonable access to the park. Pedestrians need to
have ingress and egress opportunities without resorting to travel along Marvin
Griffin Road. As provided in the attached Pedestrian Easement Agreement, which
has been approved by the Cemetery, a public pedestrian only pathway across and
through the cemetery would provide the needed access to the park, in a safe and
reasonable manner.
Financial Impact:Approximately $9700.00
Alternatives:1) Grant Motion; 2) Deny Motion
Recommendation:Grant motion and authorize Mayor and Clerk of Commission to execute Pedestrian
Easement Agreement with Law Department guidance.
Funds are Available in the
Following Accounts:Splost V 325-06-1110 206065004
