Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Lester and Tina Ferrell to sell an approximate 0.104 acre portion of the Right-of-Way that is at the southeast corner of the Minnesota Ave and Joyce Ave intersection. Sale of this excess Right-of-Way is adjacent to the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell and is to incorporate it into their current lot, making their parking area larger. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the Right-of-Way as described and shown within 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 $1,800.00 was established. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell did not request mitigation. This request went before the Land Review Commission on March 21, 2019. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced Right-of-Way be transferred to Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell at $1,800.00 and the City will retain an easement.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive a total of $1,800.00 and funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested Right-of-Way.
