Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Terrence L. Gallagher, Esq., on behalf of Frazier Development, Inc., asking that the City transfer to them that portion of the unimproved right-of-way of Exchange Drive north of Commerce Square. Frazier Development, Inc., would like to acquire this right-of-way to facilitate future commercial development of their adjacent property. 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, 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 to Frazier Development, Inc.

The Land Review Commission then voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to Frazier Development, Inc., for the $2,016.00 value established by the Real Estate Division.
