Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from The Timken Company asking that the City sell Yantes Avenue from Fifth Avenue south to the first alley south of Fifth Avenue to them. Sale of this right-of-way will allow The Timken Company to complete remediation activities to and enlarge their adjacent site. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of this right-of-way subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way.

The Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to The Timken Company for the value established by the Real Estate Division.
