Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, an Ohio metropolitan housing authority organized and existing pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3735 (“Developer”), is engaged in the future development of Poindexter Village Roadways Phase 2 Project (“Project”). The Developer requested the City transfer a 0.215 acre tract, which is a portion of the Phillips Street right of way, in order to complete the Project. The City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way to the Developer, because the City will reserve a general utility easement, sidewalk easement, and sewer easement for those utilities currently located or planned to be within this right-of-way. The City’s Departments of Public Service and Public Utilities reviewed and determined that transferring the right-of-way to the Developer for no monetary consideration is in the City’s best interest, because of the City’s general support for the Project and reservation of the certain easements. This request was not sent to the Land Review Commission since real property is not being sold.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Not applicable.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested so to not hinder the Project’s development, 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, as approved by the City Attorney, needed to quit claim a 0.215 acre tract of Phillips Street right-of-way to the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority subject to the reservation of certain easements; to waive Land Review Commission requirements; and to declare an emergency. ($0.00)
