Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus is owner of certain real property located in the vicinity of the southwest corner of East 11th Avenue and Cleveland Avenue and used for a police substation. The property was acquired in the late 1990's by the City as part of its "Four Corners Project." The Crosstown Building, LLC, ("Crosstown") is the owner of property abutting on the north of the City's property and is known as the "Crosstown Building". Crosstown has discovered that portions of their "Crosstown Building" are presently encroaching upon City property.
