Re: Property lying in land lot 379, district 17, Cobb County
fronting on the west side of South Cobb Drive North of
Church Road
Our firm has surveyed the subject property on July 13, 1976
for purposes of establishing the one in one hundred year flood
contour. This contour is elevation 944 ( from Mobile office
Corps of Engineers ) and is shown on the attached sketch of the
property.
As can be seen from the sketch, most of the property proposed
to be developed into warehouses is below the 944 contour. Since
this property is to be developed into warehouses, it is my
opinion that there is no endangerment to -human welfare and safety.
Please also note that some of the apartments on the ajoining
property have a floor elevapion of 940, 4 feet below the one in
one hundred ,year level.
Sincerely,
4 J. S. Ross & Associates, Inc.
