Explanation
1. Background
In 1972, pursuant to Ordinance 1116-1972, the City of Columbus accepted a plat known as Helen Development Subdivision No. 1, recorded in Plat Book 45 Page 118 in Franklin County. This plat has dedicated easements for construction operation and maintenance of all public and private utilities. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the property owner, Havens Edge Apartments, LLC, asking that the City release two easements over the property they own within this area to clear title so the site can be redeveloped. After receiving this request, the Department of Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for these easements, located within the requested area, and that they have no objections to these easements being released.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release these easements as described below and within the attached exhibit, to allow for the property to clear title so the site can be redeveloped.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the request to release the easements.
