Explanation
The City of Columbus ("City") desires to convey to the City of Gahanna, Ohio, ("Gahanna") a municipal corporation, 0.038 +\- acres of real property land locked within Gahanna's corporate limits and located in the vicinity of interstate 270 and North Hamilton Road.

The subject real property is a triangular residual piece of a larger parcel annexed to the City of Columbus by the City of Gahanna. However, after the completion of the interstate, the City is left with a residual parcel within the Gahanna's boundaries, for which it has no practical use.
