Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Grace New Covenant Apostolic Church asking that the City sell a portion of the right-of-way identified as a ten (10) foot strip of right-of-way adjacent to 1643 Aberdeen Avenue. Transfer of this right-of-way will resolve an encroachment issue between Grace New Covenant Apostolic Church and The City of Columbus. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, 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. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $640.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Grace New Covenant Apostolic Church for $640.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $640.00 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
