Explanation

The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Giuseppe Gioffre, Anthony Gioffre, Carl Gioffre, John Gioffre and Victoria Delfino (the "Gioffre family") asking that the City transfer that portion of the first alley north of Morse Road from Fairview Avenue to the alley east of Fairview Avenue to them. Sale of this alley to the Gioffre family will allow them to combine their adjacent properties. The Transportation Division solicited comments from interested parties, including City departments and private utilities. 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 this transfer. In keeping with current Transportation Division practice, the Northland Community Council was contacted for their comments and concerns regarding the proposed transfer of this alley to the Gioffre family, and they voted to support the Gioffre family request. At the request of the Transportation Division, the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $5,600.00 for this right-of-way and the Land Review Commission voted to recommend that this right-of-way be transferred to the Gioffre family for the $5,600.00 value established by the Real Estate Division.

Emergency Justification: The Gioffre family has notified the City they are in contract to sell their adjacent properties contingent upon their acquisition of this excess right-of-way. Their proposed closing date is June 13, 2008 and they have asked that we expedite the sale of this excess right-of-way to them.
