Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 2014, pursuant to Commons Pleas Court of Franklin County case number 13-CUH-010775, the City of Columbus accepted easements within a subdivision known as Jeffrey Place Section 2, as recorded within Plat Book 117 Pages 5 through 13. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from Jeffrey New Day Homes, LLC asking that the City release an easement and a portion of an easement within the subdivision to clear title and help redevelop the site. After receipt of this request the Public Service Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for these easements located within the requested areas and that they have no objections to them being released. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service and the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents necessary to release the easement areas described below and attached exhibits, and previously platted as needed to redevelop the real property.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for releasing the easements so the property can be redeveloped.
