Explanation
1. Background
In 2022, pursuant to Ordinance 3261-2022 the City of Columbus transferred a portion of right-of-way known as an un-named alley running mostly north/south, east of May Avenue. This 15.5 foot Alley was transferred to The Gravity Project 3 Holdings, LLC by instrument number 202212200170933 and the City of Columbus reserved a utility easement for existing utilities.
The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the property owner, The Gravity Project 3 Holdings, LLC, asking that the City release the reserved easement over these areas to clear title so the site can be redeveloped. After receipt of this request the Department of Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for this easement, located within the requested area and that they have no objections to this portion of easement being released.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the portion of easement as described below and attached exhibit, to allow for the property to clear title so the site can be redeveloped.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the request to release the easement.
