Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Mr. Aria Alaudini, asking that the City transfer a twenty-foot wide strip of excess right-of-way off the north side of Frankfort Street to him. Mr. Alaudini proposes to construct a two car garage at the rear of 371 Forest Street. The acquisition of the twenty-foot wide strip of excess right-of-way will provide driveway access to the proposed garage from Frankfort Street. After investigation, Transportation Division staff determined the sale of this excess right-of-way would not adversely affect the City's use of the remaining Frankfort Street right-of-way and that there were no objections to the transfer of the requested portion of this right-of-way. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $9,737.00 for this excess right-of-way and Land Review Commission voted to recommend the sale of this excess right-of-way for $9,737.00.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive $9,737.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
Title
