Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from NP Limited Partnership asking that the City transfer excess right-of-way identified as a portion of Worthington Road, north of Polaris Parkway, to them to allow for future development of their adjacent property. NP Limited Partnership originally deeded this right-of-way to the City at no charge as a part of the Polaris Parkway Improvement project. The configuration of some of the roadways within the Polaris Centers of Commerce changed subsequent to the completion of right-of-way acquisition for the Polaris Parkway project resulting in the City holding title to excess public right-of-way. After investigation it was determined that there are no objections to the transfer of that portion of Worthington Road NP Limited Partnership has requested. The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $1.50 per square foot for this right-of-way; however, the Transportation Division recommendation is that this right-of-way be re-conveyed to NP Limited Partnership at no charge.
Title
To authorize the Public Service Director to execute those documents required to transfer a portion of Worthington Road, north of Polaris Parkway, to NP Limited Partnership; and to waive the Land Review Commission and the competitive bidding provisions of Columbus City Codes.
