Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Korda/Nemeth Engineering on behalf of the property owner, Pizzuti GM LLC, asking that the City allow encroachments into the public right-of-way for their project known as Grandview Mercantile Building located at the northwest corner of North High Street and West First Avenue. This project is a mixed use, five-story building with first floor retail, office space on the upper floors and a lower level parking garage. The encroachments will consist of a limestone cornice and a number of canopies that will protrude into the public right-of-way as described below and shown on the attached exhibits. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments to legally allow them to extend into the public right-of-way. Installation of these building elements will enhance the building and fit into the architectural desire. A value of $500.00 was established for the encroachment easements.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachments.
