Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City possesses title to a sanitary sewer easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 200702020020651, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located near the intersection of Alum Creek Drive and Rohr Road {Franklin County Tax Parcel 152-001650} (“Servient Estate”) currently owned by Roserock Holdings, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) has reviewed the request by the property owner to vacate the existing easement and determined that the sanitary sewer was removed under CC 12732 (now RP 12414), and it has been relocated around the proposed development under sanitary plan CC 18207 and a new easement to the Village of Obetz was recorded in Instrument Number 201904260048534, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio. DPU has determined that terminating the City’s rights to the Easement does not adversely affect the City and should be granted at no monetary cost.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Not applicable.
