Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Phillip A. Smedley, Pastor of the Eliezer Church of Christ asking that the City transfer the first alley west of St. Clair Avenue from McClelland Avenue to the alley north thereof to the Church. The Church would like to acquire this alley to increase the amount of their existing parking and to provide additional security for their members. 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 the transfer of this right-of-way to the Church, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within the alley. At the request of the Transportation Division, the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $3,792.41 for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission then voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to Eliezer Church of Christ for the $3,792.41 value established by the Real Estate Division.
