Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Grace Apostolic Church asking that the City transfer a 0.087 acre portion (3,790 square feet) of the unnamed east/west right-of-way, south of Lakeview Avenue between Greenwich Street and the first alley west of Cleveland Avenue. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate security enhancements for the existing day-care center located on property currently owned by Grace Apostolic Church, 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 and extinguish the underlying fee. 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 City Attorney's Office asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $2,464.00 was established for this right-of-way. This request went before the Land Review Commission on April 19, 2018. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Grace Apostolic Church for the amount of $2,464.00.

The City will receive a total of $2,464.00 that will be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
