Lake Forrest sidewalk easement recommendation includes payment for driveway-paver removal

Sandy Springs staff recommends acquiring 564.79 square feet of temporary construction easement for the S2185 Lake Forrest Drive Sidewalk Project and paying compensation for driveway-paver removal. Item 2026-260 is on the Oct. 6, 2026, City Council agenda for consideration.

The staff memo and purchase agreement list a $15,980 payment. The draft resolution’s operative clause instead lists $15,890. Those conflicting amounts leave the proposed payment unresolved.

Under the agreement, the temporary rights would end when the city completes and accepts the project or two years after work begins, whichever comes first. The agreement states that it is not binding until City Council approves it.
