Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
In 1973, pursuant to Ordinance 616-73, the City of Columbus vacated a portion of an alley parallel to and between the west lines of the right-of-way of North Sixth Street and the east right-of-way line of Normandy Avenue and reserved a utility easement for existing utilities. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from the property owner, Gay Street Mews, LLC, asking that the City release a portion of the reserved utility easements from this property to allow for the redevelopment of the property. 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 the requested area and that they have no objections to the release of this portion of these easements. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the portions of easement described below and in the attached exhibit to allow the redevelopment of the real property.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, project P537650, for releasing the easement so the property can obtain clear title.
