Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
In 1980, pursuant to Ordinance 572-80, the City of Columbus vacated a portion of the first alley east of Kerr Street and adjacent to lot 1 within the John W Yost’s Subdivision, and reserved a utility easement for existing utilities. The Department of Public Service recently received a request from John Michael Holsinger asking that the City release the reserved easement over this area to clear title for this site. After receipt of this request the Department of Public Service, Division of Infrastructure Management, verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for this easement located within the requested area and that they have no objections to this portion of the easement being released. 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 on the attached exhibit to allow the area to clear title for this site in order to construct a residential garage at a future date.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00 to be deposited in Fund 7748, project P537650, for release of the easement so the property can clear title.
