Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from James Scherer, representative for CCN Investments LLC asking that the City transfer them a 6,500 square foot (0.149 acre) portion of the right-of-way near Parsons Avenue. The right-of-way area is South of Llewellyn Avenue and east of Parsons Avenue, abutted by parcel 010-112638 to the east, 010-112637 to the west, and 010-112249 to the south (0.149 acre).
Transfer of this right-of-way will allow the owner to incorporate it into the surrounding parcels. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way via quitclaim deed as described and shown within attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public right-of-way.
Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way.
The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the City Attorney’s Office, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way, and a value of $6,488.00 was established.
This request went before the Land Review Commission on March 21, 2024. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to CCN Investments LLC at the cost of $6,488.00 to them.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $6,488.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
