Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 1933, pursuant to Ordinance 166-33, the City of Columbus vacated the first alley south of Beck Street from the east line of Jaeger Street to the west line of Grant Avenue, reserving a general utility easement for those utilities located within the alley at that time. The subject parcel, now known as 645 South Grant Avenue, has been developed with a 20 unit condominium project. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from Point Investment Company, owner of the condominium project, asking that the City release the reserved general utility easement from this property so that they can provide title insurance, without exception to the easement, to their unit buyers. After receipt of this request the Division of Design and Construction verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no utilities located within this reserved general utility easement and that they have no objections to the release of this easement. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the general utility easement that was retained in 1933 pursuant to Ordinance 166-33.
