Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City possesses title to sewer utility easement rights and temporary construction easement rights described in easements recorded in Instrument Numbers 200905180070969 and 200905180070970, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (collectively, "Easements"). The Easements are presently burdening real property located at 3499 Skyline Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43235 {Franklin County Tax Parcel 590-217437} (“Servient Estate”). The property owner requested the City to release its rights to the Easements, because the Easements unnecessarily burden the Servient Estate. The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, reviewed the request and determined releasing the City’s rights to the Easements do not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no cost, because the Easements were donated to the City, and the City will not use the Easements to construct the Skyline Drive Stormwater System Improvement Project CIP 610985, which was the basis for acquiring the Easements. Accordingly, this ordinance authorizes the director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute any document(s), as approved by the City Attorney, necessary to release the City’s rights to the Easements.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
