Background: During a boundary survey of Griggs Reservoir, certain permanent structures, including, but not limited to, a gravel driveway, retaining wall and a portion of an aeration system were discovered to have encroached onto a 0.112 + acre portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus, located in the vicinity of Dublin Road and Med-O-Mac Drive. It has been determined that Linda M. Mosure is the owner of the encroaching structures and of the real property adjacent to the City's property. The City of Columbus and Linda M. Mosure 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.
