Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from 330 Oak Limited asking that the City allow for balconies to project into the public right-of-way. These encroachments are part of a new building project located at 330 Oak Street. The property is owned by 330 Oak Limited. The encroachments will protrude into the public right-of-way approximately 2.5 feet and start at the third level of the building along the south side of Capital Street.
