Explanation

The City of Columbus, Ohio ("City") is owner of certain real property located in the vicinity of Redwood Road and Boxwood Drive (east of I-71) commonly known as Woodward Park. Ohio River Pipe Line LLC ("ORPL"), a Delaware limited liability company, who is the successor in interest to Sinclair Refining Company, holds title to several easements by virtue of recorded general right of way easements in Woodward Park. ORPL will release Woodward Park from the general right of way easements in exchange for a specified perpetual non-exclusive replacement easement. After investigation by the Recreation and Parks Department, it has been determined that the granting of the replacement easement in exchange for the release of all other existing general right of way easements over the park property is in the best interest of the City. This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Recreation and Parks to execute a Quitclaim Deed of Easement to ORPL in exchange for their release of all other right of way easements in Woodward Park and the payment of $38,000.00.

Fiscal Impact: The Recreation and Parks Department has determined a value of $38,000.00 as consideration for the perpetual non-exclusive replacement easement.


Emergency Justification: An emergency exists in that it is necessary to authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to immediately execute those instruments, prepared and approved by the Real Estate Division, Department of Law, necessary to grant a specific perpetual non-exclusive replacement easement to ORPL, as a condition of ORPL agreeing to release of all general right of way easements in Woodward Park and the payment of $38,000.00, thereby preserving the public health, peace, property, safety, and welfare.
