Explanation
BACKGROUND:
As authorized by Columbus City Ordinance Number 0144-2013, the Department of Development on behalf of the City of Columbus, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation ("City"), transferred real property known as Franklin County Tax Parcel Number 010-044235 (“Servient-Estate”) to Parsons One, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company. In the City’s deed of conveyance to Parsons One, LLC described and recorded in Instrument Number 201311260196272, Recorder's Office, Franklin County, Ohio, and pursuant to the City’s previous vacation of right-of-way in Columbus City Ordinance Number 0851-2011, the City reserved utility easement rights burdening the entire Servient-Estate (collectively, "Easement-Reservations"). The existing servient tenement of the Easement, Parsons Senior, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, requested the City to release the Easement-Reservations, because Parsons Senior LLC is developing the Servient-Estate. The City has reviewed and determined that a release of the Easement-Reservations does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because Parsons Senior LLC granted the City two (2) replacement easements described and recorded in Instrument Numbers 201402040014706 and 201402200021215, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (collectively, “Replacement-Easements”). Therefore, this ordinance authorizes the Directors of the Department of Public Service and the Director of the Department of Development to execute those documents approved by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, necessary to release the Easement-Reservations.
