Council approves conveyance of 3‑foot strip for ADA ramp; business to pay $2,700
Summary
Statesboro council approved conveying a 3‑foot segment of city property to a prospective restaurant/distillery to allow an ADA ramp; the business will pay $2,700. Council compared the transaction to a similar conveyance approved previously.
The Statesboro City Council voted Feb. 17 to convey a 3‑foot segment of city property to a prospective restaurant and distillery to accommodate an Americans with Disabilities Act ramp. Councilmember Payne described the request and said the proposed conveyance mirrors a similar transaction approved the prior week.
Payne told the council the business would pay $2,700 for the strip. Staff recommended approval, and council voted by voice ('Aye') to convey the property with the conditions discussed during consideration. Payne noted the city will need to manage future requests for alleyway space so the alley does not become overloaded with structures.
The conveyance is framed as a property‑use accommodation tied to compliance with ADA access requirements; details about deed restrictions, easement language or any final permitting requirements were not read into the record during the portion of the transcript available.
