Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from E.W. Hubbard High, LLC, for their Hubbard Project, asking that the City allow the installation of a pedestrian bridge over North Pearl Street and to allow a number of other encroachments within the public right-of-way along High Street, Hubbard Avenue, and Pearl Street. These encroachments are detailed and defined within the attached drawings labeled as Right of Way Encroachments. These encroachments are stone bands, canopy, awnings, building mounted lights, brick cornice, steps, and the pedestrian bridge.
The Hubbard Project, is proposing to be comprised of a six-story apartment (72 units) building, 250-space public parking garage and row houses. It was determined these encroachments will help the building aesthetically blend into the area and meet the requested design standards.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant the encroachment easements that will legally allow the installation of the proposed pedestrian bridge and the proposed building elements listed above to extend into the public rights-of-way needed for this project. A value of $1,000.00 was established for these two encroachment easements.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $1,000.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, for granting the requested encroachment easements.
