Early acquisition parcels, as they pertain to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) projects, are sections of land that lie within proposed Right-of-Way (ROW). These parcels are acquired "early" or prior to project scoping to ensure that the parcel is available when the propose project enters design. This is the case for the proposed early acquisition of parcel R7136-001, which lies within requ1red ROW of the proposed Sugarloaf parkway Extension II in Gwinnett County. However, survey for the parcel does not cover the remainder of the Sugarloaf Parkway Extension II project.
This project (PI 0006924) includes the construction of Sugarloaf Parkway Extension II from SR 20 (Buford Drive) to SR 316 (University Parkway). This section of new limited access freeway has interchanges at Mall of Georgia Boulevard, 1-85, SR 124 (Braselton Highway), Fence Road and SR 316 (University Parkway).The project length is 8.3 miles (Figure 1). The APE includes all areas within parcel R7136-001 at 2496 Sunny Hill Road and an Expanded Survey Corridor (ESC). Parcel R7136-001 is 87.36 acres, and the ESC equals 100 feet beyond the 87.36-acre boundary (Figure 2). There are no previously recorded sites within 1 km of the parcel.
