City adjusts sale of Hopewell Road property By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton updated details for the sale of a 39-acre property on Hopewell Road after unanimous approval March 17. The city amended the previous resolution from the Jan. 22 City Council Approved Resolution, after leaving out .168 acres in the subject project property description. To be able to liquidate the entirety of the Hopewell property all three tracts must be included in the authorized resolution. Before the amendment, only Tracts 1 and 2 made up the legal description for the limited warranty deed the city received. “The resolution tonight is to simply clean that up,” City Attorney Ken Jarrard said. The discrepancy caused a few title issues after the city’s due diligence period when working to acquire the property in late 2022 to early 2023. The city chose to carve out the survey and had the portion conveyed separately with a quit claim deed. The deed gave the property ownership without any warranties that the grantor owns or has the rights to transfer the property.
