1. Background
In 1992, pursuant to Ordinance 1494-92, the City of Columbus transferred a portion of right-of-way known as Elm Street, from the east line of High Street to the west line of the alley east of High Street and reserved utility easements for existing utilities. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the current property owners, 100 North High Street LLC, asking that the City release the reserved easements over this area to clear title for this site. After receipt of this request the Department of Public Service, Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for these easements, located within the requested area and that they have no objections to these portions of the easements being released. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the portion of easements as described below and in the attached exhibit to allow the area to clear title for this site.

The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the request to release the easement.
