Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Development (the "City"), and Central Ohio Housing Development Organization, Inc. (COHDO) (the "Developer") are engaged in the redevelopment of the American Addition subdivision (Drawing # 3116 E). This project is located in the northeast quadrant of the City off of Joyce Ave between 5th Ave and E. 17th Ave and is bounded on the north by the alley north of 12th Ave, on the south by Dewey Ave, on the east by Petrel and Helena Alleys and on the west by Joyce Avenue.
During design of the American Addition Infrastructure Improvements Project, it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as American Addition Park, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-12616 would need to be dedicated for road way purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans for the improvements indicate Parcel 59-WD, totaling 0.117 acre will need to be dedicated as right-of-way for this purpose. After review of the preliminary plan sheets, the Department of Public Service has determined the dedication of this property to right-of-way will not adversely affect the City and should be allowed to proceed.
The following legislation provides for the City to dedicate the property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Petrel Alley.
