Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
In 2008, pursuant to Ordinance 0652-2008 the City of Columbus accepted the plat titled Huntington Park. This plat dedicated those parts of the Nationwide Boulevard, Neil Avenue, Huntington Park Lane and Brodbelt Lane, shown on the plat and not previously dedicated, to the public use. This plat also vacated 0.028 acres of Nationwide Boulevard and 0.001 acres of Brodbelt Lane as public right-of-way.
During construction of the Huntington Park ballpark facility it was determined a small portion of the facility foundation encroaches into a part of Nationwide Boulevard that was dedicated to public use in the Huntington Park plat. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute that document needed to grant an encroachment easement for this small portion of the facility foundation.
