Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Mr. Douglas O. Metz, asking that the City sell a 0.008 acre portion of the unnamed alley between Sunset Drive and Neil Avenue, adjacent to property owned by Mr. Metz on Sunset Drive.
Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate the resolution of drainage issues related to the adjacent property owned by Mr. Metz. 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 Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $1,350.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Douglas O. Metz for $1,350.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $1,350.00 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
