Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve a permanent sewer easement and temporary construction easement to DeKalb County Government, Department of Watershed Management (“DWM”) for the construction and maintenance of sewer lines on the following DeKalb County School District (DCSD) properties: Montclair Elementary School, 1680 Clairmont Place NE, Atlanta, GA 30329 and Misty Waters Site: 2925 Misty Waters Drive, Decatur, GA 30032.
Why: Granting the easement will allow the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management to improve sewer service by installing and maintaining the sanitary sewer line serving current and future homeowners in the Montclair ES and Misty Waters site vicinity.
Details: The DeKalb County Government, Department of Watershed Management is requesting permanent and temporary easements to install new sewer lines, improving sewer service at Montclair Elementary School and Misty Waters Site and the surrounding community.
DeKalb County is in the process of replacing sewer lines off Buckhead Highway and the area near the Shoal Creek part of the county. DeKalb County Watershed is requesting new permanent and temporary sewer easements to install the major new lines to service the school and surrounding communities. The old sewer line, which also runs through the school property, is not being replaced or removed. Instead, it will be deactivated, and the county is maintaining its ownership over the old easement.
The permanent easements are where the new pipes will be placed, and the temporary construction easements are to access the area of the pipes. The replacement of the sewer infrastructure in the area will provide more reliable sewer service around and to the Montclair ES and Misty Waters site.
The requested easements at Montclair ES - a permanent sewage easement (9,020 square feet) and a temporary construction easement (13,524 square feet) located at 1680 Clairmont Place NE, Atlanta, GA 30329
The requested easements at Misty Waters Dr. Site - a permanent sewage easement (16,858 square feet) and a temporary construction easement (26,424 square feet) located at 2925 Misty Waters Drive, Decatur, GA 30032
Financial impact: The value of both the permanent easement and the temporary construction easement at Montclair Elementary School is $15,100.
The value of both the permanent easement and the temporary construction easement at the Misty Waters Dr. Site is $4,500.
