Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Craig Moncrief on behalf of Savko Brothers Properties II, LLC, asking that the City sell them an approximate 18,775 square foot portion (0.431 acres) of the unimproved right-of-way of Jasonway Avenue located in the vicinity of the intersection of Jasonway Avenue and Shuster Lane.
Transfer of this right-of-way is primarily for landscaping improvements. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the right-of-way as described below and shown within the 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 $46,937.50 was established. This request went before the Land Review Commission on June 20, 2019. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Savko Brothers Properties II, LLC, at the cost of $46,937.50.
