1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Mr. Glen Robbins, asking that the City sell a 0.034 acre portion of the north/south right-of-way east of Fifth Street between Spring and Lafayette Streets to him. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate the enhancement of landscaping, and security measures for property owned by Mr. Robbins, adjacent to the above mentioned right-of-way, located at 225 East Spring Street. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $975.00 was established for this right-of-way.
