Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Marshall Acquisitions, LLC asking that the City transfer them a 1.190 acre portion of right of way at Eastland Commerce Center. The right-of-way area runs north/south directionally for 860’+/- feet and the width of the requested portion is 60+/- feet. It is adjacent to the parcel 010-211497 at the western side of the ROW portion; and parcel 010-016468 at the eastern side of the ROW portion. Groves Rd. abuts the portion at the north.
Transfer of this right-of-way will allow Marshall Acquisitions, LLC to incorporate it into their current parcels and will be used as the driveway for the property at the noted location. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way via a quitclaim deed as described and shown within the attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public right-of-way.
Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way.
The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the City Attorney’s Office, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way, and a value of $59,611.00 was established.
This request went before the Land Review Commission on February 15, 2024. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Marshall Acquisitions, LLC at the cost of $59,611.00 to them.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will receive a total of $59,611.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
