Open Letter to the County Commission
I want to explain how the 2006 County Commission cost the citizens of Augusta over S100,000.00. The
2006 Commission made a decision to sell a surplus property to me based on faulty information in
September of that year. Had the truth been known, the purchase price should have been wellover
5100,000.00 instead of the S12,500.00 the property was sold to me for.
Obviously when presented with inaccurate information, it's virtually impossible to make the proper
decision. But that Commission is not without some blame because they failed to ask some very basic
questions prior to approving the sale, such as, where did we get the property, how much did we pay for
it, what is the value listed by the Richmond County Tax Commissioner now and what is the current
zoning.
Had these questions been asked, the Commission would have learned that the property was purchased
from William F. Gaskins in 1991. The property was known as Lot 2 (aka Parcel B,819 Camellia Road and
Map & Parcel# 032-1-085-00-0) in the William F. Gaskins subdivision and the purchase price was
S109,500.00. Originally Lot 2 had 100' of frontage on Camellia Road. Prior to selling to Augusta, Gaskins
re-subdivided the property. A portion of the property was added to Lot 1 and a portion was added to Lot
3. All three Lots remained Lots of Record and maintained their R-1 Zoning. The deed and plat described
a property containing 0.49 acres and having 50' of frontage. The legal description was a reference to the
master subdivision plat recorded in the County Courthouse. This property being in an approved
subdivision was zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. Had the Commissioners checked with the
Richmond County Tax Commissioner, they would have learned he valued the property for $125,000.00
because it had been grandfather as an R-1 zoned property. Armed with this accurate information, they
would have been able to challenge the inaccurate information presented to them. They would have
learned the plat was wrong, the appraisal was wrong and there was no easement on the property, not
to mention that a Resolution to sell was never discussed or voted on the day of the sale. lf this current
Commission had taken me seriously and listened when I presented much of this same evidence at the
5/512075 Co. Commission meeting, Augusta would have saved an incredible amount of time and
thousands of dollars in legal fees. But no, you listen to Mr. Grantham that day. Now I would never say
Mr. Grantham didn't tell the truth, but I will say his memory didn't serve him well that day.
The County Commission was told the property had been inaccurately surveyed and only contained 0.42
acres and had only 40' of frontage. Based on the inaccurate survey the parties involved incorrectly
assumed the lot to be too narrow to be zoned R-1. This led to the appraisal grossly underestimating the
value of the property. Furthermore, a reference to an easement that didn't exist on the original deed
and plat, also contributed to the reduced value. Prior to closing, I obtained a copy of the appraisal. I
noticed the plat used in the appraisal didn't match the plat being sold to me. I emailed my attorney and
asked him to check with the County Attorney. I never heard back from them and assumed there was no
problem. The plat shown in the appraisal is from the 1993 Official Zoning Map of Augusta and clearly
shows the property is zoned R-1. These errors resulted in a parcel of land measuring 20' x 150' being lost
forever, until 2015 when I discovered where the land had gone and realized the City and I had both been
the subjects of misinformation. This is why I returned the property to Augusta; I finally realized both
Augusta and I were the victims of a fraud. For this I hold Augusta harmless.
For some unknown reason, the current Law Dept. showed no interest in reclaiming this lost land for
Augusta when I presented them with the original deed and plat. Dumbfounded by this, I went to the
County Tax Appraiser with my evidence. After comparing my evidence with the Courthouse records he
completely agreed with me and voided the bogus deed & plat and reclaimed the land for Augusta.
As of now, two lots exist where there was originally only one and the title to each lot is now tainted. The
only way to restore the true value (S100,000.00 +) and correct the title is for the County Commission to
order the Law Dept. to recombine the two parcel owned by Augusta on Camellia Road into one parcel
located at 819 Camellia Road. This could easily be done by drafting a corrective deed and plat. That
would then match the original deed and plat (which was a Lot of Record) purchased by Augusta in 1991
from Mr. Gaskins.
I want to assure the Commission my sole purpose for writing this letter is so the people of Augusta can
recover the money they lost in this unfortunate transaction. lf the original deed and plat are
reestablished by way of a corrective deed, then the people of Augusta would then again own the
valuable lot that they paid 5109,500.00 for in 1991. lt is the Commission's civic and fiduciary duty to
protect the property belonging to the people of Augusta.
I will be appearing before the Administrative Committee Tuesday March 14th to present a gift to
Augusta. I will be giving Augusta a 56,000.00 set of building plans I had drawn for my new home by the
Garren Company along with a receipt for a $1,955.00 water/sewer tap, for a total gift of 57,955.00. This
will be of value to Augusta if the property is ever sold again. lf you have any questions regarding this
letter I would be happy to answer any and all questions the Commission may have this Tuesday.
With best regards,
William T. Bass, DDS

Re: Summary of changes: Parcel 032-1-086-01, 817 Camellia Rd; 032-1-093-00-0, 817 1/,
Camellia Rd
Dr. Bass,
Enclosed is the information you requested regarding the changes made on the Camellia Road
properties. Please, let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
The following is a short history and summary of the property line and ownership changes made
to 817 and 817 % Camellia Rd based on research provided by Dr. Bass and a review of legal
documents filed with the clerk of superior court:
817 Camellia
Samuel Penn acquired 817 Camellia Rd, via Warranty Deed 52611626,inJune 1996. This deed
referenced a 1996 plat and a frontage of 237.02 feet.
A corrective warranty deed,527 I 834, was filed later that month correcting the plat reference
and property frontage to 217.00 feet.
In 2006, the City of Augusta filed a plat to reference another parcel, 032-1-085-00-0 (S19
Camellia). The plat incorrectly showed the adjacent parcel, 817 Camellia, as having 237' of
frontage. The assessor's office adjusted 817 Camellia based upon that plat, and should not have.
From 2007 forward the size and frontage of 817 was misrepresented.
ln 2013, the property transferred from Penn to Lane Garrett. The brief legal description in this
document showed the correct acreage but referenced an incorrect plat. In 2014 Garrett
transferred the property to Henry and Laura Garrett referencing the correct legal description and
plat,527 / 833. Per this most recent deed, the Garrett's own 0.73 acres with 217' of frontage.
In 2013, Garrett filed a plat splitting the southern 3 I ' of the property into two parcels.
Approximately 20' of the split out parcel did not, by deed, belong to the owner. They only
owned an approximately 1l' wide portion at the north side of the parcel. Again, the tax assessor
processed the split, furthering the misrepresentation that began in 2006.
Per in house research and documents, provided by Dr. Bass, the 2006 and 2013 errors were
reviewed and corrected. 817 Camellia was returned to its originally intended size and frontage
based on the 1996 corrective deed ar;rd2Ol4 warranty deed from Garrett to Garrett.
817 Yz Camellia
The property that is now 817 y, Camellia was originally transferred to the City of Augusta in
1991. In 2006,0.42 acres of what was 0.49 acres was sold to Dr. Bass. This left 0.07 acres with
20' of frontage between 817 and 819 Camellia Rd. The plat filed in conjunction with this sale is
what started the errors on 817 Camellia. The 0.07 acre leftover portion was erroneously
combined with 817 Camellia and should have remained in the name of City of Augusta.
Again, in 2013 aplat filed by the owner of 817 Camellia created a parcel which was actually
land owned by both the owner of 8 I 7 Camellia and the City of Augusta.
The 2006 and 2013 erors were corrected, returning the 0.07 acre lot to the most recent owner of
record, the City of Augusta.
The current maps and property records of the tax assessor are now a correct representation of
legal ownership of these properties based on the plats and deeds of record.

As you requested, I have inspected the property listed above tom the street and have mgde a limited
rypnaisal on the above property. This tlpe ofappraisal coasiders fhe basic appra.isal procedures and
processes. It does not require tlnt a complete rypraisal be prepared which includes all of the detailed and
pertinent data oo which 1te opinion of value is bssed. The aktails and the auatysis are retaiued in the
appraiser's file and ae available for impection upon requesl Inthis case, this appra.iscr will afiempt to
estimate a possible rango of value based on the limited lnowledge of the subject property.

has been insuucted to estisate the value of the property based on the site having no easemc,lrt, based on
having ten-foot wide easemeut (nost lilaly located on oe side of the property) md encumbering the e,ntire
pacel with aa easem€nl This appraisa would sugge$ thaf a plat be made showing fte actual size of ihe

The property was inspecEd on October 8, 2005. The Foperty is rmique in ia size, shrye alrd location
Based oothe GIS maps, tre frout 30o/4W/o ofthe site frlls outside ofthe designated flood areavhile the

Gercrally, tbe site sales ttet bad patial or sipificant areas in the flood zcne sold in fhe lower end of ft€

For lbe sake of &is reporq a nalue of $50,000 will be used as tre best estimate of value for the properly if
trere is no easemeuts or other issues enormbcring the use oflhc prope4y.
If a ten-foot eas€mqrt is rctained by &e county for maintenmcc of Iake Arrnond, the easement could fit
intotre setback area if it located on one side ofthe site. It still is possible to put a Charlestown style house
on tfoe fiont portion ofthe site. The presouce ofthe easernent tre fict thd the coury could use it at any
tirne md fte possible pres€nce of large corstruction equipoentwil most likely have a detimental affect on
tie possible mafta place for tre site. In my opinioq the potential hryer will have to perceive that they are
getting a good deal if fte easem€nt area is retained. Since &ere is no precedeat to guide this appraiser, a
value of ryproximmety half of the unensmberpd \ralro should get the atte,utioa ofthe market ptace in tre
arpa. A value e$timate ef rcrrghly $25,000 will be usod to estimate fte value offte site encumbered wih
fre ten-fmt eas€ment It is my opinion tlat carmty will have a huge nmber of complaints from the orrner
of fre property (particularly if &e mtire site bas been lmdscaped) iffte counlr uses the earemetrt to do
maintenance on tre lake- Heavy equipment will not stry within the narrow boundaries offte easement and
any landscrying to the rear section of the site will be destoyed-
If the entire site is encumbered by a permaneirt easemeDt, two market forces wiII limit tbe market place for
the prcperty. The firs mar&et force is the presencc of the pemaeur easemerrl The easement wiII take
most of the bundle of rights from fte poteutial prop€rty owner while leaving the buyer witb axation and
liabilrty. Frthermore, the permanmt easemeot will greUly limit the poteutial ma*€t place to ouly those
buyers immediately a{acent to fre subject property- Based on studi€s done for the state higbway
deparme{ pernmnelt easements generally decrease fre fee simple value of property from 25o/o to 7 5yo
based on &e size of the easem€,nt, fte location of the sasement and the impact of fre easemeut on the
pro,p€rty. In this casc, the easemsnt would eliminate my possible use for fre property to lhe martet place.{ high percentage ofvalue ofthe property (szy 75%") would be lost due to the prrsence oftfue permanent
easement Based on additional studies of landlocked properties or property with limited pote,ttial buyers,
properties with limited br4yers suffered additioual loss of value. The strrdies done for the hi$way
departnent geuerally show property vahre is ftnther reduced betweea 63Yoto 76% (ny 757o) in addition to
the value lost fiom fte pernanent easemcmt" To shss the impact oftle two f,orces onthe estimated fee
simple valrr of the property, please make referto the calculmions below.
$50,000 (estimated fee simple value of frc site) X25% (remaiuing p€rc€nrage of yalue sfterthe loss of
value due to the permaueut easement) = $12,500
$12,500 (estimated value ofthe site with the pemanent easement) X25% (remaining percerage of value
affer the loss ofvalue dus ts rhe limite{t ma*et place): $3,125
The above cstimate of value is only an e&rcated guess. Any negotiated sale between $2,000 to $5,00G.
S10,000 could bc justified based on the uy number of issues such as "nlimrted access to the site, taxes on
the property, liability of ee propcfiy, etc.
This appraiser has dtEmptrd to value the subject property based onrte thrce ditrerent circums&nces. In

Housing and Community Development
Motion to reauthorize an ordinance designating Rocky Creek
Enterprise Zone with expanded boundaries. Originally approved
by Commission June 4,2002. (Approved by Administrative
Services Committee February 14, 2017)
The Augusta Code at2-4 provides for the designation of
Enterprise Zones as an economic development incentive for
depressed areas suffering from disinvestment as a way to
encourage reinvestment in housing and employment for the
area. The area previously designated as Rocky Creek Enterprise
Zone meets the criteria for designation and reauthorization found
at O.C.G.A. 36-88-8. With the assistance of these incentives, the
area encompassing the Rocky Creek Enterprise Zone projects to
see continued growth and development over the coming
years. The designation, in place since 2002, will continue to allow
for the incentives to businesses that create 5 or more new jobs
being exempt from ad valorem taxes on a scale over a l0-year
period. Residential investment, with a minimum 5:l improvement
value, will also continue to be encouraged through the continued
l0-year graduated ad-valorem property tax exemption as well. To
better encourage economic development in the area, we are
recommending extending the boundaries of the Rocky Creek
Enterprise Zone to incorporate additional commercial and light
industrial areas located directly adjacent to the previously existing
boundaries. Please reference the attached maps and boundary
descriptions for precise descriptions of the recommended
boundary expansions.
The incentives of tax abatement are positive, and the theory is that
revenue not realized due to the abatement would not have
happened without the incentives. The abatement schedule for ad
valorem taxes is as follows: -10006 first 5 years; -80% for years 6
and 7 ; -60Yo for year 8; -40o/o for year 9 and -20%o for year I @Jrb, u"ro
addition, the City could elect to waive fees and other forms of

revenue.
Financial Impact: See above.
Alternatives: a)Re-authorize Rocky Creek Enterprise Zone with recommended
boundary expansions (see attachment), b)Reauthorize Rocky
Creek Enterprise Zone with previously existing boundaries, c)Do
not re-authorize the Rocky Creek Enterprise Zone.
Recommendation: Re-authorize Rocky Creek Enterprise Zone with recommended
boundary expansions.
