Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Camden Land Holdings, LLC asking that the City transfer them a 1,000 square foot (0.023 acre) portion of the right-of-way near Camden Avenue. The right-of-way area runs east/west directionally for 125+/- feet and the width of the requested portion is 8+/- feet from north to south. It is land-locked in the middle of PID 010-314470.
Transfer of this right-of-way will allow the applicant to incorporate it into the surrounding parcel, to then be combined into one parcel. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way via a quitclaim deed as described and shown within attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public right-of-way.
Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way.
The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the City Attorney’s Office, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way, and a value of $4,000.00 was established.
This request went before the Land Review Commission on August 15, 2024. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Camden Land Holdings LLC at the cost of $4,000.00 to them.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will receive a total of $4,000.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
