Subject: Application of
Encroachment Upon 25-foot
Vegetative Stream Buffer
Project: GDOT CSSFT-0008-
00(884), PI No. 0008884
County: Monroe
City: N/A
The proposed GDOT Project No.
CSSFT-0008-00(884), PI No.
0008884, would consist of
constructing a roundabout at the
intersection of State Route (SR)
87/US 23 and SR 18 near
Dames Ferry in Monroe County,
Georgia. The project limits on SR
18 would extend approximately
520 feet east and 520 feet west
of the existing intersection. The
project limits on SR 87 would
extend approximately 560 feet
north and 460 feet south of the
existing intersection. The total
project length would be
approximately 2,060 feet (0.4
mile). The existing right-of-way
(ROW) along SR 87 is 200 feet,
and construction would be within
the existing ROW along SR 87.
The existing ROW along SR 18
is 80 feet and the proposed ROW
along SR 18 would vary between
80 feet and 180 feet. The project
would disturb 4.79 acres during
construction.
The proposed project would
result in a non-exempt buffer
encroachment to the 25-foot
vegetative buffer of one stream
(Stream 7). The proposed buffer
encroachment would occur as a
result of clearing required for
grading activities and installation
of erosion control silt fencing and
orange barrier fencing (OBF).
The disturbance activity would
occur within the 25-foot buffer
adjacent to the downstream left
bank of Stream 7 and OBF will
be placed within the buffer to
minimize buffer disturbance and
prevent impacts to Stream 7.
This buffer disturbance is
necessary in order to construct
the roundabout. The buffer
impact would qualify for a
variance under criterion 2(a) and
would result in buffer disturbance
area and length of approximately
85 square feet and 25 linear feet,
respectively.
Site plans for the proposed
construction can be viewed at
the Georgia Department of
Transportation District 3 (Area 4)
Office, 4499 Riverside Drive,

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED
that on the 11 day of November,
2014, at 9:30 AM, at the Monroe

COUNTY PUBLIC FACILITIES
AUTHORITY and MONROE
COUNTY, GEORGIA,
Defendants, Civil Action File No.
2014-CV-589 in the Superior
Court of Monroe County, the
same being a proceeding to
confirm and validate the
issuance of Monroe County
Public Facilities Authority
Revenue Bonds (Monroe County
Facilities Project) (the “Bonds”),
in the aggregate principal
amount not to exceed
$4,950,000. The Bonds are to be
issued from time to time in one or
more series By the Monroe
County Public Facilities Authority
(the “Authority”) for the purpose
of financing or refinancing (A) the
acquisition, construction,
furnishing and equipping of an
emergency medical services
headquarters, including the
acquisition of real property, (B)
the acquisition, construction, and
improvement of recreational
facilities located in Monroe
County, Georgia (the “County”),
including the acquisition of real
property, (C) the acquisition and
equipping of a convention center
for business development within
the County, (D) the renovation,
improvement and equipping of
hospital facilities in the County
for the Hospital Authority of
Monroe County (collectively, the
“Projects”), and (E) paying all or
a portion of the cost of issuance

proceedings, the Court will also
pass upon the validity and

Intergovernmental Contract for
the Bonds (the “Contract”),

the Bonds. In such proceeding,
the Court will also pass upon the
validity of a trust indenture for the
Bonds between the Authority and
a trustee to be designated by the
Authority prior to the issuance of
the Bonds pursuant to which the
payments to be made by the
County under the Contract,
together with certain other
security, will be pledged as
security for the Bonds.
Neither the Authority nor the
