Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City possesses title to a water line easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 199309130214489, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located along Hilliard Road, Columbus, OH 43026 {Franklin County Tax Parcels 560-168616 and 560-234235} (“Servient Estate”) currently owned by Silver Horn II, LLC, a limited liability company. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has reviewed the request by the property owner to vacate the existing easement and determined that a replacement water line easement was obtained in 2005 and recorded in Instrument Number 200507190142594. As a result of obtaining the new easement the easement recorded in 1993 is no longer needed. DPU has determined that terminating the City’s rights to the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no monetary cost.
