Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Columbus City Schools asking that the City execute an exchange of ownership of parcels located on Reinhard Avenue. Parcel “A” (ID number 010-044365) is owned by the City of Columbus, as conveyed to the City via a Warranty Deed recorded in Deed Book 1920, Pages 638-639 and is located within the Columbus City School’s Heyl Elementary School site. Parcel “B” (ID number 010-065298) is owned by Columbus City Schools, as conveyed via a Warranty Deed recorded in Deed Book 3467, Pages 736-737, and has been maintained by the City of Columbus as a public alley. Exchange of ownership of these parcels will facilitate the resolution of a number of title issues and allow for the continued use and maintenance of the public alley. After investigation by the Division of Infrastructure Management staff, it was determined that the exchange of these parcels will benefit both Columbus City Schools and the City of Columbus.
