Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Matt E. Earley asking that the City allow for a foundation and retaining wall to remain within the public right-of-way. During the construction phase of a retaining wall it was discovered the foundation and retaining wall within the project encroached into the public rights-of-way. This project is located at 128 Crestview Road. The retaining wall will protrude above the existing grade approximately 30 inches. The encroachment includes a one foot area along the north right-of-way line of Crestview Road and a two foot area along the west right-of-way line of Findley Avenue. The wall is currently under construction and in the final stages of completion. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant an encroachment easement to legally allow a retaining wall and foundation within the public rights-of-way needed for this project. Installation of the retaining wall will retain the ground from eroding into the public right-of-way. A value of $500.00 was established for this encroachment easement.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, for granting the requested encroachment easement.
