Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the Wood Companies on behalf of the owner of the site, Russell & High LLC, asking that the City allow a fire escape to remain encroaching into the public right-of-way. This encroachment consists of one fire escape along the south side of Russell Street, west of High Street and parallel to parcel 010-015032. The project is located at the southwest corner of High Street and Russell Street at 641 N. High Street. This project is to replace, in-kind, the existing fire escape for a three (3) story building. This encroachment is located within the right-of-way as indicated above and the easement is described below and within the attached exhibit.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant this encroachment and legally allow the fire escape to extend into the public rights-of-way. Allowing this element into the public right-of-way will allow for the building to continue to meet building requirements. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easement was established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachment.
