Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbus, Ohio ("City") holds title to two (2) sewer utility easements described and recorded in O.R.V. 1155, Page 289, and O.R.V. 1155, Page, 295 ("Old Easements"), Recorder's Office, Delaware County, Ohio. The Grantors of the Old Easements, N.P. Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership, and Gemini Place Towne Center, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, requests the City to release portions of its sewer easement rights in the Old Easements. The City's Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drains, reviewed, approved, and determined releasing portions of the City's sewer utility easement rights in the Old Easements does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because portions of the sewer utility service line were abandoned, removed, and relocated under RP 16533-16535. Therefore, the following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents, as prepared by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, necessary to release portions of the City's sewer utility easement rights in the Old Easements.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
