Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Ohio is the owner of certain real property, located in the vicinity of South Galena Road and Alexander Road commonly known as Hoover Reservoir. It has been discovered that certain permanent structures (a barn and a gravel driveway) currently encroach upon a 0.140 + acre portion of the City's property. The City has determined that Hal E. Mullins and Linda K. Mullins, husband and wife, are the owners of the encroaching structures and of the real property adjacent to the City's property. The City and the encroaching property owner have been in correspondence with each other in an attempt to reach an agreement, which will alleviate the encroachment issue as well as allow the property owner access to his property. After investigation by the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water, it has been determined that in its best interest, the City should grant the subject portion of land to Hal E. Mullins and Linda K. Mullins in exchange for real property of the same acreage to be granted to the City. The exchange has been determined to equitable and therefore no money will be involved. This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents necessary to grant the aforementioned real property in exchange for property of equitable acreage.
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Emergency Justification: The subject permanent structure presently encroaches on the City's real property and therefore emergency action is requested to have this issue immediately alleviated without delay.
