Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Woodrow Morgan asking that the City sell a 0.133 acre parcel of the right-of-way located at the intersection of Mooberry and Gilbert Streets, which is adjacent to property owned by Mr. Morgan. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate landscaping enhancements to property currently owned by Mr. Morgan adjacent to the above noted right-of-way, located at 572-574 Gilbert Street. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within these rights-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of these rights-of-way. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for these rights-of-way. A value of $3,803.00 was established for this right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend a reduction in price of $687.39 based on enhancements already performed on the previously mentioned right-of-way, and that the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Woodrow Morgan for $3,115.61.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $3,115.61 that will be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
