Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Columbus Metropolitan Library, asking that the City sell a 0.053 acre portion of the east/west Biehl Alley right-of-way west of Parsons Avenue between Stewart and Deshler Avenues. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate the construction of the New Parsons Avenue branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. 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 $936.00 was established for this right-of-way. A request for mitigation of the cost of the aforementioned right-of-way was submitted by Columbus Metropolitan Library. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred at no cost to Columbus Metropolitan Library.
