Explanation
Background: In 2007, the City, transferred properties in fee title, located in and around John Glenn Columbus International Airport, to the Columbus Regional Airport Authority ("CRAA"). The City's deed to CRAA contained a restriction limiting the use of these properties to public airport uses. CRAA has requested that this airport use restriction be released on three parcels identified as Tracts 1097, 1098 and 1099, Being Lots Numbers One Hundred Thirty-five (135), One Hundred Thirty-six (136) and One Hundred Thirty-seven (137) of Herbert R. Mengert' Maple Lawn Addition, in the township of Mifflin, Franklin County, Ohio as the same are numbered and delineated upon the recorded plat thereof, of record in Plat Book 16, Pages 51, Recorder's Office, Franklin County, Ohio and Being that parts of vacated Sterling St., Alley No.3 and Alley No. 4 as shown in Road Record No. 27, Page 144 of record in the Franklin County Engineer's Office that are adjacent to Lots 135, 136 and 137, excepting certain right of way, in order that CRAA may develop these parcels for purposes other than public airport use. CRAA Planning and Engineering has verified that there is no foreseeable need to use these parcels for airport operations. The City’s easement rights reserved on each of these parcels will remain in full force and effect. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary to release and discharge the City's use restrictions relating solely to the real property.
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Emergency action is requested to allow the City to allow CRAA to proceed with its plans, at the earliest date possible, for the commercial development of theses parcels.
