Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, through a reimbursement agreement with the Columbus Metropolitan Library, is currently engaged in a project identified as Roadway Improvements-Main Library. Part of this project involves removing and replacing the existing sidewalk along Grant Avenue, installing one pull-off, and reconstructing an existing pull-off located along Library Park North.
During design of the Roadway Improvements-Main Library project it was determined a portion of real properties owned by the City of Columbus would need to be dedicated as right-of-way for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans indicate a 0.014 acre portion of real property known as 480 East Town Street, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-067009 (Topiary Park), a 0.032 acre portion of real property owned by City of Columbus known as 100 South Grant Avenue, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-066783, and a 0.027 acre portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as 400 East Town Street, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-285106, would need to be dedicated as right-of-way for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. A total acreage of 0.073 acre will need to be dedicated as road right-of-way and the road right-of-way named as Library Park North.
After review of the preliminary plan sheets, the Department of Public Service has determined the dedication of this property to right-of-way will not adversely affect the City and should be allowed to proceed.
The following legislation permits the City to dedicate the portions of said properties as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Library Park North.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Not applicable. There is no expense to the City for this transaction.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested so that construction of the proposed improvements for the Roadway Improvements-Main Library project can proceed without delay.
