Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Attorney Connie Klema on behalf of Main Line Partners, LLC asking that the City allow for a number of encroachments into the public right-of-way. These encroachments consist of metal panels and balconies as part of a new 5-story building that will feature 89 luxury apartments. This project is located at 303 South Front Street. The property is owned by Main Line Partners, LLC. The encroachments will protrude into the public right-of-way along the East side of South Ludlow Street, south side of West Main Street, and west side of South Front Street. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments to legally allow them to extend into the public rights-of-way as shown on the attached drawings. Installation of these building elements will enhance the building and fit into the architectural look within the area. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easement was established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachments.
Title
