Kennesaw council approves $7,000 sale of two small right-of-way parcels; one member recuses
Summary
The council approved the sale of abandoned right-of-way parcels at 2995 and 2997 North Main Street for $7,000 with the buyer paying customary recording and attorney fees; Councilmember Madeline recused from the vote and staff will merge the parcels into a single R-30 parcel before transfer.
The City of Kennesaw on Monday agreed to sell two abandoned right-of-way parcels at 2995 and 2997 North Main Street for $7,000, with the buyer to pay typical recording and attorney fees. The council vote was 4-0 with Councilmember Madeline recused.
City staff recommended denying a previous second offer and instead presented the $7,000 offer to council. After discussion the council moved and seconded the transaction; when members voted to approve, Mayor Andrew announced four votes in favor and Madeline was recorded as recused.
Council directed staff to merge the two parcels into a single parcel (referred to during discussion as an R-30 parcel) prior to transfer so the purchaser would not need to return to the council for further action. Sam, a city staff member, confirmed he had already discussed parcel merging with Fred Bentley Jr. (mentioned in the discussion) and that title work and recording would be processed as part of the transfer.
Decision: Council approved the sale for $7,000 with the buyer paying closing costs and fees, and directed staff to merge the parcels into a single lot before completing the transfer.
