Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Jennifer Heckert, H&H Reserve Holdings, LLC asking that the City transfer them a 740 square foot (0.017 acre) portion of the right-of-way near E. Long Street. The right-of-way area is South of Long Street and east of Talmadge Street, abutted by parcel 010-039421 to the east, and 010-023992 to the west.
Transfer of this right-of-way will allow the owner to create an ADA compliant entrance to their building and provide a space to store dumpsters. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way via a quitclaim deed 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 $2,962.00 was established.
The request went before the Land Review Commission on April 20, 2023. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to H&H Reserve Holdings, LLC at the cost of $2,962.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will receive a total of $2,962.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
