Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Esteban Saldarriaga of EyE Homes, Inc., asking that the City sell a 0.028 acre portion of the unnamed north/south right-of-way east of Wilson Avenue between Franklin Avenue and Elliot Alley to him. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate the improvements to property owned by Mr. Saldarriaga, adjacent to the above mentioned right-of-way located at 208 Wilson Avenue. 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 Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $1,080.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend that the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Esteban Saldarriaga for the amount of $1,080.00.
Emergency Justification:
Emergency action is requested to allow development of the proposed improvements to proceed as currently scheduled.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $1,080.00 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
