Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Bryan Irby asking that the City sell him the unimproved portion of the alley south of Franklin Park South between Kelton Avenue and Morrison Avenue. The sale of this unimproved right-of-way will allow Mr. Irby to expand and install fencing around his yard and provide additional security for his home as well as providing additional security for his neighbors. After investigation by the Transportation Division staff it was determined there are no City objections to the sale of this excess right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $553.77 for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Irby for $200.00 in recognition of the increased security and reduction in criminal activity that will be provided to this neighborhood by the installation of the proposed fence.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $200.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
