Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbus, Ohio ("City"), holds title to a sewer utility easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 200805230080006 ("Easement"), Recorder's Office, Franklin County, Ohio. The successor-Grantor of the Easement, Hudson Square LLC ("Hudson"), an Ohio limited liability company, requests the City to release all of the City's rights from the Easement. The City's Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, reviewed, approved, and determined releasing all of the City's rights to the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because the Easement is no longer needed by the City and deemed unnecessary due to a sanitary mainline extension under Sanitary Sewer Plans RP-16190 through RP-16191 (formerly CC-16054). Therefore, this ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents prepared and approved by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, necessary to release all of the City's sewer utility rights in the Easement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
