Explanation
Background: The City owns real property located on Barley Loft Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43240 identified as Delaware County Tax Parcel 318-43-02 027-00 (“Property’), having a paved driveway that serves to provide secondary EMS vehicle access, by way of Candlelite Lane, to the Prestwick Commons Subdivision. Earlier this year, the City received a request to transfer a 0.584 acre portion of the Candlelite Lane right-of-way to facilitate the residential development of property currently owned by Arlington Properties Inc. / Tapestry Park Polaris LLC. The vacation and transfer of that portion of Candlelite Lane, authorized by City Council Ordinance 1040-2018 necessitates the realignment of the EMS vehicle access drive on the City’s Barley Loft Parcel to align with a new entrance from a roadway in the residential development. The residential developer is responsible for completing the work to realign and construct the access driveway connecting to the residential development roadway. Additionally, the developer will be responsible for installing landscaping and grading and maintaining the access road and surrounding property. In order for the developer to complete this work, it is necessary for the City to grant an access and landscape easement (“Easement”) to the developer to complete work on the City’s property in order to grade, construct, install and maintain the access driveway and landscaping. This developer’s project cannot receive its final permit until the easement is recorded
Fiscal Impact: N/A.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow the development project to move forward in a timely manner to meet its construction schedule.
