Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Columbus City Schools asking that the City vacate the rights-of-way between the south right-of-way line of Allegheny Avenue and the north right-of-way line of Ruhl Avenue, identified as Virginialee Road, Virginialee Road West, Virginialee Road East and Chesterfield Road. Vacation of these rights-of-way will allow for the development of property surrounding these rights-of-way and the construction of a new educational facility on the Woodland Meadows site, formerly known as Beverley Manor, owned by Columbus City Schools. After investigation by the Division of Planning and Operations staff, it was determined that the vacation of these rights-of-way will enhance the development of the site.
