Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Andrew I. Klein asking that the City sell the unimproved north/south alley east of Say Avenue, from the first alley south of Fourth Avenue to a point approximately 115 south thereof, to him. Transfer of this undeveloped alley will allow Mr. Klein to construct an addition to his adjacent residence. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, 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 unimproved alley. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $9,321.90 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend that the above referenced unimproved right-of-way be transferred to Andrew I. Klein for $9,321.90.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive a total of $9,321.90 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested unimproved right-of-way.
