Explanation
Background:
In the 1970's, the State of Ohio Department of Transportation ("ODOT") acquired certain real property, located in the vicinity of Interstate 270 and Claycraft Road, from the City of Columbus, necessary to its FRA I-270 Project. Recently it has come to the attention of the City that the conveyance of two of the acquired parcels were never recorded by the County and are in effect still owned by the City. As a part of the project one of the parcels was to subsequently be transferred by ODOT to the City of Gahanna. In order to reconcile this matter, it is now necessary that the City convey one parcel to ODOT and the second parcel directly to the City of Gahanna. After investigation by the Department of Public Service it has been determined that the conveyance of the subject properties will not adversely affect the City and should be allowed. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the transfer of the aforementioned real property.
