Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Long & Sixth LLC., asking that the City allow for a number of encroachments into the public right-of-way. These encroachments are awnings, existing door swings, linear up and down lights, floodlights, and wallpack fixtures as part of a renovation of a 3-story building and a connection to another building. This project is located at 288 East Long Street. The property is owned by Long & Sixth LLC. The encroachments will protrude into the public right-of-way along the north side of East Long Street, South side of Lafayette Street, West side of Sixth Street, and into a 12 foot alley. 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, fit into the architectural desire, and legitimize some existing encroachments. 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
