Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from HJB, Inc. asking that the City sell a 0.070 acre portion of the undeveloped north/south alley west of South High Street and south of the Becker Street right-of-way. Transfer of this right-of-way will resolve an encroachment issue as well as provide additional parking for the existing business located adjacent to the above noted right-of-way, owned by HJB, Inc. 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 $2,250.00 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 HJB, Inc. for $2,250.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $2,250 that will be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
