1. BACKGROUND
To authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant revocable encroachment easements to GWB Realty LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company, to allow a portion of their sign (0.001 acres) to remain on City property within existing right-of-way, at 7077 East Broad Street Columbus, Ohio 43068.
The Department of Public service is engaged in the Arterial - Broad Street - Outerbelt Street to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road project. The project includes roadwork on SR 16 (East Broad Street) from Outerbelt Street to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road to go from four to six lanes. Work will also include signal modifications at four locations, addition/extension of turn lanes at various intersections, median additions and/or revised drive configurations for access management, construction of shared use path on north side and sidewalk on south side, and lighting improvements.
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request that the City grant a Revocable Encroachment Easement to allow a portion of their sign (0.001 acres) to remain on City property within existing right-of-way. The existing sign was identified to be encroaching into the right-of-way while reviewing the construction plans for the project. The existing sign is not impacting any functionality of the right-of-way. Granting these encroachment easements is needed in order for ODOT and the City of Columbus to clear the right-of-way for this project. The following ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute documents necessary to grant these encroachment easements for the proposed sign into the public right-of-way.
Ordinance 1658-2020 authorized the Director of Public Service, on behalf of the City of Columbus, to submit applications to and execute grant agreements with Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) for 2020 MORPC Attributable Funding funds for the E. Broad Street, Outerbelt Street to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road project.
