Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Mr. Jay Kasey asking that the City sell a 0.011 acre parcel of the Alexander Alley right-of-way south of Sycamore Street between 5th Street and Purdy Alley, which is adjacent to property owned by Mr. Kasey. Transfer of this right-of-way will resolve an encroachment issue related to property adjacent to the above noted 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 these rights-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 $8,024.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Kasey for $8,024.00.
