Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City possesses title to a sewer utility easement described and recorded in Official Record 1147, Page C07, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio ("Easement"). The Easement is located at 7682 Sawmill Road, Columbus, Ohio 43016 {Franklin County Tax Parcel ? 590-291869}. The existing servient tenement of the Easement, Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Property Owner”), requested the City to release a portion of the Easement, because the Easement may unnecessarily burden the Property Owner’s real property. The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, reviewed the Property Owner’s request and determined releasing a portion of the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because the City no longer requires sewer utility easement rights to the portion of the Easement requested to be released, as the City removed, abandoned, or relocated all of the infrastructure associated with the portion of the Easement requested to be released. Accordingly, this ordinance authorizes the City’s director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those document(s), as approved by the City Attorney, necessary to release a portion of the Easement.
