Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City possesses title to water utility easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 201101100004970, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Morse Road and Stelzer Road, Columbus, OH 43219 {Franklin County Tax Parcel 010-147168} (“Servient Estate”). The existing owner of the Servient Estate, Easton Gateway, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Property Owner” - see Ins. 201403070028378, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio), requested the City to release and terminate a portion of its rights to the Easement in order to clean the Servient Estate’s title. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) reviewed the Property Owner’s request and determined releasing and terminating a portion of the City’s rights to the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no monetary cost, because the City removed, abandoned, or relocated the infrastructure associated with a portion of the Easement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
