Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church (the "Church") and from Rosetta J. Rhodes, asking that the City sell them those rights-of-way identified as portions of Dolphin Alley, Lee Avenue, Sigsbee Avenue and Ericson Alley. Sale of these rights-of-way will increase the size of the adjacent lots and will allow the Church to expand their facilities and parking. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of these rights-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within Ericson Alley. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a total value of $15,066.60 for these rights-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that these rights-of-way be transferred to Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church and Rosetta J. Rhodes for the values established by the Real Estate Division.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $15,066.60, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested rights-of-way.
