Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Broad Street Presbyterian Church, asking that the City transfer to them an unimproved 12 foot wide alley granted to the City in a deed recorded in 1892 and that the City also release the reserved easement rights in the vacated 15 foot wide alley north of East Broad Street from Garfield Avenue to the alley east thereof and in the 15 foot wide alley east of Garfield Avenue between the first and second alleys north of East Broad Street. Transfer and release of these interests will allow Broad Street Presbyterian Church to combine their adjacent properties for proposed site redevelopment. After investigation it has been determined that the City never accepted or dedicated the unimproved 12 foot wide alley for public use. In addition, it has been determined there are no utilities currently located within the reserved easements in the vacated alleyways. A value of $1,000.00 has been established for the transfer of the unimproved 12 foot wide alley and the release of the reserved easements.
The City will receive a total of $1,000.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer and release of these interests.
