Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Nationwide Realty Investors, Inc. (NRI), to transfer a portion of right-of-way for the completion of the sidewalk project known as the Hamilton Parker Phase 1 project.
The Hamilton Parker Phase 1 project is a 3P project that consists of constructing sidewalk along the east side of Neil Avenue from Vine Street to Spruce Street, the north side of Vine Street from Neil Avenue to Armstrong Street, the north and south side of Spruce Street between Neil Avenue and Armstrong Street, the east and west side of Kilbourne Street between Vine Street and Spruce Street, and the west side of Convention Center Drive south of Vine Street.
To facilitate the completion of this project, NRI is requesting the City abandon as right-of-way, 0.021 acres of real property along Vine Street and Kilbourne Street and transfer them to the property owner, NWD HP, LLC. NWD HP, LLC is the official name of the property owner for which this acreage is being transferred to. This ordinance is part of an overall right-of-way swap with NRI, for which NRI will be donating real property of 0.0483 acres to the Department of Public Service by deed and in return the Department of Public Service will be transferring 0.021 acres of real property to NRI by deed. After investigation and plan review, it has been determined the exchange of these parcels of land is in the best interest of both parties. This was not required to go before the Land Review Commission for approval.
