Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Nationwide Children's Hospital, asking that the City sell total of 0.209 acres of land, of which 0.129 acre is part of the 40 (forty) foot wide east/west Jackson Street right-of-way, south of East Livingston Avenue between Ann Street and Putnam Alley, and of which 0.080 acre is a portion of the 20 (twenty) foot north/south Putnam Alley right-of-way, south of Denton Alley between Beck and 17th Streets, which is adjacent to property owned by Nationwide Children's Hospital. Transfer of these rights-of-way will facilitate the expansion of the existing Ronald McDonald House, located adjacent to the above noted rights-of-way.
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 these rights-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of these rights-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 these rights-of-way. A value of $4,550.00 was established for these rights-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced rights-of-way be transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital for $4,550.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $4,550.00 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested rights-of-way.
