Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Infrastructure Management, received a request from the site owner, GWINNE LTS 9-12 & MRKT, MHWK URBN RNWL PLT#2 LT 1, & 20'VAC PRIVATE ALLEY, asking that the City allow building elements to remain encroaching into the public right-of-way. The existing encroachments consist of steps, building face, and roof overhang found to extend into the right-of-way during the remodel project at the site, 132 S. 3rd Street. This building is listed on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties, and has been in place for over 160 years. This project is a remodel of this building and will add a structure to the south side and provide ADA access. This building was built in the 1860s and the building elements were recently found to extend into the public right-of-way as described below and shown on the attached exhibit.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments and legally allow the building steps, building face, and roof overhang to remain extended into the public rights-of-way. Allowing these elements to extend into the public right-of-way will enhance the building and keep the original design. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easements was established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachments.
