Explanation

The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Children's Hospital asking that the City sell them that right-of-way identified as a portion of Denton Alley, from Lisle Alley to Wager Street, grant an aerial encroachment easement over a portion of the intersection of Denton Alley and Lisle Alley and grant foundation encroachment easements into the south side of Denton Alley near its intersection with Lisle Alley.

The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a total value of $19,374.80 for this right-of-way and these encroachment easements. Children's Hospital has agreed to 1) remove overhead City utility lines and relocate them underground within the subject area, 2) relocate a 12" gas line from Denton Alley, 3) resurface Wager Street between Jackson Street and Livingston Avenue, and 4) donate additional right-of-way for turn and deceleration lanes in and around the proposed parking garage and patient tower projects, therefore, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred and these encroachments easements be granted to Children's Hospital at no charge.
