The Easement burdens real property located at Bent Tree Lane {Franklin County Tax Parcels 590-297811, 590-208808, and 590-297810} (“Servient Estate”) currently owned by Graham Park, LLC, Harper House, LLC, and Luxe Twelve5, LLC, respectively, Ohio limited liability companies. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has reviewed the request by the property owner to vacate a portion of the existing easement and determined that the sanitary sewer was relocated under CC 17891, and portions of the existing easement are no longer needed. DPU has determined that terminating a portion of the City’s rights to the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no monetary cost.
