Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from David Perry on behalf of 48 Parkwood LTD asking that the City sell them an approximate 0.035 acre portion of right-of-way of an unnamed alley connecting Eastwood Avenue to Maplewood Alley. It is the first alley east of Parkwood Avenue and is adjacent to and north of Eastwood Ave. This portion of right-of-way is adjacent to parcels already owned by the Ohio Baptist General Convention, Inc., at 32 and 40 Parkwood Avenue.
The intended use of this right-of-way is for parking for new housing planned on the abutting parcels. 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. An easement was requested and will be maintained. 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 $6,128.00 was established. There was no request for mitigation. This request went before the Land Review Commission on November 21, 2019. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to 48 Parkwood LTD at the cost of $6,128.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $6,128.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
