Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Samuel Habte for Hebron,, Inc., to sell an approximate 660 square foot portion of the E. Fulton Street right-of-way. This portion of right-of-way is adjacent to property at 1120 E. Fulton Street that is owned by Hebron, Inc. It runs north / south directionally and is between Oakwood Avenue to the east and Glover Alley to the west. The portion totals 0.015 acres.
Sale of this right-of-way will allow it to be incorporated into the parcel already owned by Hebron, Inc., to provide better usability to the owner. The Department of Public Service has agreed to sell the right-of-way as described 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, the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way is needed, and 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 $975.00 was established. This request went before the Land Review Commission on February 21, 2019. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Hebron, Inc. at the cost of $975.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $975.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
