Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the abutting property owner D1 Holdings, LLC, asking that the City transfer a 231 square foot (0.005 acres) portion of the Walton Avenue right-of-way, which is adjacent to the east side of the property owned by D1 Holdings, LLC., located at 740-742 Oakwood Avenue. Transfer of this right-of-way will legitimize the encroachment of the garage and clear title to the property. The Department of Public Service has agreed to transfer the right-of-way as described in the attached legal description and 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 City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $346.50 was established for this right-of-way. This request went before the Land Review Commission on September 20, 2018. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to D1 Holdings, LLC., for the amount of $346.50.
