Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 2004, pursuant to Ordinance 1450-2004, the City of Columbus accepted easements within a subdivision known as Preserve at Albany Woods Section 1, as recorded within Plat Book 105 Pages 37-39. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from Easton Pointe LLC, asking that the City release five areas within the reserved easements within the subdivision to clear title, satisfy Franklin County Engineers Office, and redevelop the site. After receipt of this request Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for these easements located within the requested area and that they have no objections to these easements being released. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the easements described below and previously platted as needed to redevelop the real property.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, for releasing the easements so the property can be redeveloped.
3. EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION:
Emergency action is requested in order to not delay the release of the City’s easement rights and allow the redevelopment, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
Title
To authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release easements, to clear title within the subdivision known as Preserve at Albany Woods, so the property can be redeveloped; and to declare an emergency.
