Spalding County approves Southern Natural Gas easement; staff to pursue 10‑foot walking trail element
Summary
The board approved granting a right‑of‑way easement to Southern Natural Gas for a Dundee Lake Road parcel after staff reported negotiations that might include a 10‑foot, 0.5‑mile walking trail; staff said the original offer was $26,000 and they will continue to work with the company on trail and partnership details.
The board approved lifting a Southern Natural Gas right‑of‑way easement for property on Dundee Lake Road (Parcel 24501006) and directed staff to continue negotiating specific features, including a 10‑foot, 0.5‑mile walking trail alongside the utility work.
Commissioners expressed concern that state‑regulated utilities sometimes proceed without prior local notice but said the county is seeking partnership elements (trail, trail maintenance and clearer terms) beyond a simple per‑foot payment. Staff reported an original offer of $26,000 and said engineering and county staff are working with Southern Natural Gas to incorporate the walking trail the county requested. The board voted to approve the easement and instructed staff to continue working the details with the company.
