BACKGROUND:
The City possesses easement rights to a sewer utility easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 201203020029173, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located at 6000 S. High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43207 {Franklin County Tax Parcel 495-291118} (“Servient Estate”).
