Explanation
1. Background
In 1916, pursuant to the recording of a plat known as W.A. Turner Subdivision within Plat Book 10, Page 248 and 249, the City of Columbus obtained a north/south easement for utilities. This easement is 5 feet in width.
The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the property owner, Martin Carpet Properties, LLC, asking that the City release the easement over the area to clear title so the site can be redeveloped. After receipt of this request the Department of Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for this easement, located within the requested area and that they have no objections to this portion of easement being released.

The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the request to release the easement.

proceed on schedule.
