Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Ralston Industries, Inc. ("Ralston") asking that the City transfer those portions of Morris and Alton Avenues from the first alley south of 5th Avenue south to 4th Avenue and that portion of 4th Avenue between Morris and Alton Avenues to them. Ralston would like to acquire these rights-of-way to provide additional security and storage for their adjacent facilities. 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, 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 these rights-of-way to Ralston. At the request of the Transportation Division, the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $14,957.50 for these rights-of-way. The Land Review Commission then voted to recommend that these rights-of-way be transferred to Ralston for the $14,957.50 value established by the Real Estate Division.
