Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbus, Ohio ("City") holds title to two (2) sewer utility easements described and recorded in O.R.V. 34188, Page C08, and Instrument Number 199803270071832 (“Easements”), Recorder's Office, Franklin County, Ohio. The successor-Grantor of Easements, The New Albany Company LLC (“NAC”), a Delaware limited liability company, requests the City to release portions of the City’s sewer easement rights in the Easements. The City’s Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drains, reviewed, approved, and determined releasing portions of the City’s sewer utility easement rights in the Easements do not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because the City removed, abandoned, and no longer needs those sewer utility service lines for City operations. Therefore, this legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents, as prepared by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, necessary to release to NAC portions of the City's sewer utility easement rights in the Easements.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
