Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Mr. Darnell Watts asking that the City sell the right-of-way identified as a 134.45 foot portion of the unnamed north/south alley west of Miller Avenue between Bryden Road and Carrie Avenue, adjacent to 1443 Bryden Road. Transfer of this right-of-way will allow for improvements and enhancements to property currently owned by Mr. Watts.

The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $1,820.00 was established for this right-of-way.
After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Darnell Watts for $1,820.00.
