Explanation
Metropolitan Clintonville III LLC ("the owner") is rehabilitating an existing office building located at 4140 North High Street. The existing topography of this site is unique; the ground drops away steeply from the existing sidewalk to the lower level of the building. The owner is providing new front doors to the building and would like to provide ADA compliant pedestrian access to these doors. To provide the desired access a deck must be constructed from the back of the sidewalk to the new front doors. The owner has recently submitted a request asking that the City grant him an encroachment easement into the west side of the North High Street right-of-way at this location to allow for construction of the proposed deck. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact on the City for granting an encroachment easement for construction of an accessible deck. A $500.00 value was established for this easement.
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for granting the requested encroachment easement.
Title
To authorize the Director of the Public Service Department to execute those documents necessary to allow the City to grant an encroachment easement into the existing right-of-way at 4140 North High Street to Metropolitan Clintonville III LLC and to declare an emergency.
