Explanation
Background: The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Townsend Construction Company asking that the City release a 20 foot wide sanitary sewer easement and a 40 foot wide temporary construction easement adjacent to the 20 foot wide permanent easement. Both these easements are shown on the plat titled Hamilton Road Extension, of record in Plat Book 100, Page 3, of the Franklin County, Ohio Recorder's Office. Townsend Construction Company is requesting these easements be released to allow for the development of the property currently encumbered by these easements. After investigation, it has been determined that there are no utilities currently located within the permanent easement and that if the permanent easement is released the temporary construction easement will not be required. It has also been determined that these existing easements are no longer consistent with the sanitary sewer service plan for this property submitted to the Division of Sewerage and Drainage under plan CC-13347. A value of $500.00 has been established for the release of these easements.
Fiscal Impact: The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the release of these platted easements.
Emergency Justification: The property encumbered with these easements is being sold. The release of these easements by the City is a contingency for closing and to preserve funding the sale of the subject property must be closed on or before March 1, 2005.
