October 22, 2020 City Council Regular Meeting
Title
35. Approval of An Intergovernmental Agreement with Garden City to Shift the City of Savannah City Limit Along Dean Forrest Road
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Norfolk Southern owns an approximate 267-acre parcel southeast of Dean Forest Road within the incorporated limits of the City of Garden City. Within the undeveloped tract, a 5-acre parcel remains situated within the incorporated limits of the City of Savannah that is presumed part of old right-of-way no longer needed.  The property has minimal value, as is.

The property owner has petitioned to relocate the City of Savannah’s incorporated limits to maintain consistency in local government jurisdiction for development regulation and zoning, taxation and public safety response. By intergovernmental agreement, the City of Savannah would agree to de-annex the property and Garden City would then concurrently annex the land prior to Dec. 31, 2020. Garden City would assume responsibility for providing municipal services, including water and sewer services.
