Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the property owner, Woda Cooper Companies, Inc., and its affiliate, 1573 East Livingston Limited Partnership, asking that the City allow an historical awning encroachment into the public right-of-way. The project for which this request is made is located at 1567-1583 E. Livingston Avenue. The project will restore the building and turn it into senior apartments. This structure is deemed historically important to social and community gathering activities during the formative years within the community. The encroachment will consist of one awning that will protrude into the public right-of-way as described below and shown on the attached exhibit. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant this encroachment to legally allow the awning to extend into the public rights-of-way. Allowing this element to remain will enhance the building and meet the desires of the community. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easement was established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachment.
