Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Ohio State University asking that the City allow the installation of a new building for the College of Optometry that would bridge over the first alley east of Neil Avenue, running between Eleventh Avenue and Tenth Avenue within the public right-of-way. The proposed building will extend from a proposed 13,000± sq. ft. building west of the alley to a proposed 10,000± sq. ft. building on the east side of the alley. During the preliminary design phase of these proposed buildings, it was determined that for pedestrian safety reasons they could utilize the building/bridge making this request warranted. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant the aerial encroachment easement that will legally allow the installation of this proposed building/bridge to extend over the public rights-of-way of this alley. A value of $500.00 was established for this aerial encroachment easement.
2. Fiscal Impact
There is no cost to the City for granting this encroachment. The City will receive a total of $500.00 to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachment easements.
