Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from 200 E Fifth, LLC, owner, asking that the City allow the installation of a pedestrian bridge over a 22 foot Alley west of North Fourth Street and the first alley north of Fifth Avenue and within the public right-of-way. The proposed bridge will extend on either side of the 22 foot alley right-of-way.
The development is a proposed mixed-use development with approximately 180 residential units with commercial space and a parking garage. During the design phase of the proposed building it was determined that for safety reasons the pedestrian bridge was warranted.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant the aerial encroachment easement that will legally allow the installation of the pedestrian bridges to extend over the public rights-of-way of the 22 foot Alley. A value of $500.00 was established for the encroachment easement.
2. Fiscal Impact
There is no cost to the City to grant the easements. The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachments.
