Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Greenlawn/Front, Ltd. asking that the City sell them that right-of-way identified as the first alley south of Greenlawn Avenue between Front Street and the alley east of Front Street. Sale of this right-of-way will allow for future development of the Greenlawn/Front, Ltd., parcel north of this alley. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of this right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this alley. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a total value of $4,851.00 for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to Greenlawn/Front, Ltd., for the value established by the Real Estate Division.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $4,851.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
