Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, Inc., asking that the City sell them a portion of the first alley north of East Broad Street from Twenty-First Street to the alley east thereof. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, Inc., owns the property on either side of this portion of the alley and the sale of this portion of the alley to the Church will allow them to consolidate their property and provide a safe area for vehicles to stop when dropping off or picking up people attending Church services and other events at the Church. After investigation by the Transportation Division staff it was determined there are no City objections to the sale of this excess right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $1,732.62 for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, Inc., for $1,732.62.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $1,732.62, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
