Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Ohio is the holder of certain sanitary sewer easement rights to real property, located in the vicinity of Winchester Crossing Boulevard and Weurful Drive, by virtue of certain recorded deeds of easement. A portion of the real property encumbered by the aforementioned easements was subsequently changed from its original design and platted as condominiums. Due to the resulting change in ownership, the original easements have been replaced by new sewer easements, previously granted to the City. Tiger Construction, Inc., the developer, has requested that a certain portion of the original easements be released. After investigation, the Department of Public Utilities has determined that the release of the subject easement will not adversely affect the City and should be granted. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those instruments necessary to release the subject sewer easements.
