Explanation

1. BACKGROUND
By virtue of the plats titled Elmhurst Addition (of record in Plat Book 10, Page 28, Franklin County, Ohio Recorder's Office) and Elmhurst No. 2 (of record in Plat Book 11, Page 19, Franklin County, Ohio, Recorder's Office) the City of Columbus is the owner of various streets and alleys within these platted areas. The Columbus Regional Airport Authority ("CRAA") is the owner of a large tract of land identified as Parcel 010-146775 within these platted areas. CRAA recently contacted the City and asked the city to vacate the unimproved streets and alleys south of Seventeenth Avenue and west of Stelzer Road within the Parcel 010-146775 boundaries so additional development at the airport can proceed. After investigation is was determined there are no objections to the vacation of the unimproved streets and alleys within these specific Parcel 010-146775 boundaries subject to the retention of a general utility easement for the utilities currently located within them. The following legislation vacates those portions of the unimproved streets and alleys bounded on the north by the south right-of-way line of Seventeenth Avenue; on the east by the west right-of-way line of Stelzer Road; on the south by the south right-of-way line of Switzer Road; and on the west by a line approximately 280 feet east of and parallel to the east right-of-way line of Rarig Avenue from the south right-of-way line of Switzer Road north to the south right-of-way line of Seventeenth Avenue and lying within the boundaries of that parcel identified as Parcel 010-146775, owned by CRAA.
