...Explanation

BACKGROUND: The City possesses title to a sanitary easement described and recorded in Official Record 10635E03, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located in the vicinity of 1581 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43222, {Franklin County Tax Parcel 010-209349} (“Servient Estate”) currently owned by the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, an Ohio nonprofit corporation. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) has reviewed a request by the owner of the Servient Estate to vacate a 0.0042 acre, more or less, portion of the existing Easement and determined that the portion of the Easement is no longer needed as the sanitary sewer manhole was removed and relocated under CC18110 and the released portion of the easement is no longer necessary. DPU has determined that terminating the City’s rights to the portion of Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no monetary cost.

FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
