Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 1990, pursuant to Ordinance 633-90, the City of Columbus vacated the alley west of Cleveland Avenue from the north line of Lehner Road to the north terminus of the alley. The City reserved a general utility easement for those utilities located within the alley at that time. The subject parcel, now known as Columbus Metropolitan Library at 4093 Cleveland Avenue. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from Columbus Metropolitan Library, owner of the property for this project, asking that the City release a portion of the reserved general utility easement from this property to help clear title and allow for the building expansion. After receipt of this request the Division of Infrastructure Management verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities located within this reserved general utility easement and that they have no objections to the release of the portion of this easement. 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 a portion of the general utility easement that was retained in 1990 pursuant to Ordinance 633-90. A value of $500.00 was established for the release of this portion of the general utility easement. The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, for granting the requested release of the general utility easement.
