Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Easton Gateway, LLC asking that the City transfer a 0.060 acre portion (2,614 square feet) of the Worth Avenue right-of-way, south of Easton Gateway between Stelzer Road and Seward Street. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate a number of improvements and enhancements to the intersection adjacent to the above noted right-of-way. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way as described in the attached exhibit and extinguish the underlying fee. 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 Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $32,675.00 was established for this right-of-way. This request went before the Land Review Commission on April 18, 2018, and the applicant has agreed to dedicate additional right-of-way to the City. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Easton Gateway, LLC at no cost.
