Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the property owner, High and Cherry LLC, asking that the City allow multiple encroachments of balconies and canopies to project into the public right-of-ways. These encroachments are part of the High and Cherry Street apartment building project located at 255 South High Street. The encroachments will protrude into the public right-of-ways up to approximately 6 feet.

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.
