Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from E Corp Land Holdings, LLC, asking that the City transfer a 0.022 acre portion of the unnamed east/west right-of-way east of North Jones Avenue between Scott Street and West Gay Street which is adjacent to property owned by E Corp Land Holdings, LLC. The purpose of the transfer is to combine the properties, adjacent on both sides of the alley, for more effective/efficient use, as permitted in the current zoning district. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the right-of-way as described and shown within attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public right-of-way. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities, and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the City Attorney's Office asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way, and a value of $718.00 was established. This request went before the Land Review Commission on September 20, 2018. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to E Corp Land Holdings, LLC for the amount of $718.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the City for this transaction. The City will receive a total of $718.00 that will be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
