Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Brenda S. Chamberlain, owner of 437 Chatfield Park, asking that the City sell them a 647 square foot (0.015 acre) portion of the right-of-way north of Stratford Way, and west of Chatfield Park.
Sale of this right-of-way will allow the owner to secure and limit access to prevent illegal dumping on the existing property, as well as personal parking. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the right-of-way via a quitclaim deed as described and shown within attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public 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 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 City Attorney’s Office, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way, and a value of $808.00 was established.
This request went before the Land Review Commission on June 16, 2022. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Brenda S. Chamberlain at the cost of $808.00 to them.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive a total of $808.00, and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
