Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Ivan Houpe asking that the City transfer a 0.015 acre (653 square feet) portion of the unnamed east/west right-of-way north of Oak Street between Maclee Avenue and Linwood Avenue. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate the construction of a driveway to allow off-street parking on property currently owned by Ivan Houpe at 1310 Oak Street, adjacent to the above noted right-of-way. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way as described in the attached exhibit. 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 this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-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 this right-of-way. A value of $327.00 was established for this right-of-way. This request went before the Land Review Commission on February 15, 2018. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Ivan Houpe for the amount of $327.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $327.00 that will be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
