Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Gregory and Sincear Fountain asking that the City transfer to them a 0.005 acre portion (205 square feet) of the unnamed North/South Right-of-Way East of Hamilton Avenue and North of Grove Street. The purpose of the transfer is to facilitate the enhancements of property adjacent to the noted Right-of-Way, owned by Gregory and Sincear Fountain. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the right-of-way as described and shown within the attached legal description and exhibit, and extinguishes its need for this public right-of-way. 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, and a value of $308.00 was established. This request went before the Land Review Commission. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Gregory and Sincear Fountain for the amount of $308.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no City expenditure for this transaction. The City will receive a total of $308.00 to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
