Explanation
1. Background
In 1930 and 1964, pursuant to Ordinances 337-30 and 498-64, the City of Columbus vacated portions of right-of-way known as an east/west portion of South Avenue and a 20 foot Alley, being between Edgehill Road and Delashmut Avenue, south of Fifth Avenue and reserving utility easements for existing utilities.
The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the property owner, WC ECP Edgehill Apartments, LLC, asking that the City release the reserved easements over these areas to clear title so the site can be redeveloped. After receipt of this request, the Department of Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management, verified with all the 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 portions of the easements being released.
The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the portions of easements as described below and in the attached exhibit to allow the area 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 easement.
