Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request asking that the City release two portions of a platted easement located within Lot 1 of The Patio at Northland, as recorded in Plat Book 42, Page 71 of the Franklin County, Ohio Recorder's Office. When originally platted it was intended that this easement be utilized to construct and maintain utility lines to service buildings on this site, however, buildings were constructed over these two portions of the easement area by mistake. As a result no utilities are present in these areas and the utilities necessary to service these buildings were located in other easement areas. There are no utilities currently located within these areas and the various utilities have no objections to our release of these portions of the platted easement.
A value of $500.00 was established for the release of these portions of the platted easement. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Public Service Department to execute those documents necessary to release these two twenty-foot wide platted easement areas located within Lot 1 of The Patio at Northland.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the release of these two platted easement areas located within Lot 1 of The Patio at Northland.
Emergency Justification: The release of these two portions of platted easement area directly affects the continued development of Lot 1 of The Patio at Northland therefore emergency action is requested.
