Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) asking that the City allow for two canopies to extend into the public right-of-way. These canopies are part of a renovation project for the existing Bus Terminal, located at 25 East Rich Street. The property is owned by Capitol South Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation and leased to Central Ohio Transit Authority. The two canopies will protrude approximately 11 feet above the sidewalk and 6 feet into the public right-of-way. One canopy will extend into the North side of the public right-of-way of East Main Street and the other into the South side of the public right-of-way of East Rich Street. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachment easements to legally allow the canopies to extend into the public rights-of-ways needed for this project. Installation of the two canopies will enhance the building and create passenger safety. A value of $500.00 per easement was established for each encroachment easement.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $1000.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, for granting the requested encroachment easements.
