Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Columbus State Community College ("Columbus State"), asking that the City grant a 0.001-acre encroachment easement into the south side of Grove Street beginning 178.44 feet west of the west line of Cleveland Avenue. This easement is needed to allow Columbus State to construct step at the entrance to a new building at 395 Grove Street and still preserve the existing ADA compliant grade along Grove Street. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments and private utilities before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon the granting of this easement. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division is recommending this easement be granted to Columbus State at no charge in recognition of the proposed donation of a 0.011 acre tract of additional right-of-way along the west side of Cleveland Avenue, north of Mt. Vernon Avenue, to the City from Columbus State.
Title
