Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Stantec Consulting Services Inc., on behalf of the owner 85 North High Street LLC, asking that the City allow for a number of encroachments into the public right-of-way. These encroachments are awnings, cornices, the edge of a pool, foundations, access and tunnel easement crossing Gay Street as part of a new development consisting of a proposed building with 7-stories above grade, with six stories of residential apartments and 3 levels of parking. This project is located at 85 North High Street. The property is owned by 85 North High Street LLC. The encroachments will protrude into the public right-of-way along the West side of North High Street, North side of West Gay Street, and East side of North Wall Street. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments to legally allow them to extend into the public rights-of-way as shown on the attached drawings. Installation of these building elements will enhance the building and fit into the architectural desire. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easements was established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachments.
