Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from M & B Properties asking that the City sell them that portion of the alley west of Bassett Avenue from the north line of the first alley south of Fifth Avenue to its northern terminus. Sale of this alley to M & B Properties will allow for future building and parking lot expansion for the adjacent properties. After investigation by the Transportation Division staff it was determined there are no objections to the sale of this excess right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way. A value of $500.00 has been established by the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to M & B Properties for $500.00.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
