Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from John E. Lester asking that the City sell him that right-of-way identified as the unimproved portion of the 20-foot wide alley east of Woodland Avenue from Richmond Avenue to its northern terminus. Sale of this right-of-way will allow Mr. Lester to combine his two adjacent residential parcels into one larger parcel and continue to use this alley as driveway access to his existing garage. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of this right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this unimproved right-of-way. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a total value of $2,240.00 for this right-of-way. The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to John e. Lester for the value established by the Real Estate Division.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $2,240.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
