Explanation
Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the Department of Finance and Management asking that the Department of Public Service vacate all right-of-way located within Duranceau Park.
The right-of-way area is east of Dublin Road and south of Fishinger Road, along the Scioto River, encompassed by parcel 010-224180 (Duranceau Park) on all sides. Vacating this area of unimproved right-of-way will allow the City to finalize a project involving the Griggs Boathouse.
Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that the City will not be adversely affected by vacating this portion of right-of-way.
The Department of Public Service has agreed to vacate the asset as described within the attached legal description and extinguish its need for this public right-of-way.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required by this legislation.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested due to the short construction season in Ohio, to allow the Department of Public Service to swiftly vacate the right-of-way to allow the necessary survey work to begin at the earliest date.
Title
To authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to vacate all the right-of-way located within Duranceau Park to the City of Columbus, Department of Finance and Management; and to declare an emergency. ($0.00)
