Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Nationwide Children's Hospital asking that the City sell a portion of the right-of-way identified as a 0.082 acre portion of the Denton Alley right-of-way, between Putnam and 17th Streets. Transfer of this right-of-way will allow for the expansion of The Ronald McDonald House, which is located on property currently owned by Nationwide Children's Hospital, located at 711 Livingston Avenue. 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. Then 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 $10,200.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital for $10,200.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $10,200.00 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
