Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Advanced Civil Design, on behalf of Salvation Army, asking that the City transfer that portion of Wall Street from Hinman Avenue to Woodrow Avenue and that portion of the first alley south of Hinman Avenue between Wall Street and South High Street to the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is redeveloping that property commonly known as 1675 South High Street into an Adult Rehabilitation Center. This center, will be fully self-supporting, and will include a family store, a work therapy building and a residence program area. After transfer, Salvation Army intends to use these rights-of-way to optimize their parking lot design and for access to their facility. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of these rights-of-way, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within them. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $10,621.00 for these rights-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend the transfer of these rights-of-way to Salvation Army for the value established by the Real Estate Division.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive $10, 621.00, which will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of these rights-of-way.
Emergency Justification: Salvation Army has sold their existing building at 570 South Front Street and must vacate it quickly. They are requesting emergency action so that these rights-of-way can be transferred, building rehabilitation at 1675 South High Street can be completed and the required move from their existing facility to the new facility can be finalized without delay.
Title
To authorize the Director of the Public Service Department to execute those documents required to transfer that portion of Wall Street from Hinman Avenue to Woodrow Avenue and that portion of the first alley south of Hinman Avenue between Wall Street and South High Street to the Salvation Army for $10,621.00 as recommended by the Land Review Commission; to waive the competitive bidding provisions of Columbus City Codes; and to declare an emergency.
