Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 1987, pursuant to Ordinance 2365-87, the City of Columbus disposed of the alley south of Cherry Street, north of East Main Street and East of Ohio Avenue, located in the Near East Columbus Planning Area. The City reserved a general utility easement for those utilities located within the alley at that time. The subject parcel, now known as 1092 East Main Street, is scheduled for development by Core Resources on behalf of Family Dollar Stores.
The Department of Public Service recently received a request from Core Resources, developer of the property for this project, asking that the City release a portion of the reserved general utility easement from this property to help clear title and allow for the building development. After receipt of this request the Division of Planning and Operations verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities located within this reserved general utility easement and that they have no objections to the release of the portion of this easement.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release a portion of the general utility easement that was retained in 1987 pursuant to Ordinance 2365-87. A value of $500.00 was established for the release of this portion of the general utility easement.
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, for granting the requested release of the general utility easement.
