Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from CALKAR LLC, to sell an approximate 0.426 acre portion of the E. 5th Ave. right-of-way. This portion of right-of-way is adjacent to property at 3245 E. 5th Ave. Sale of this right-of-way will serve to straighten the property boundaries.
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. 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 $4,508.00 was established. This request went before the Land Review Commission on July 15, 2021. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to CALKAR LLC at the cost of $4,508.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive a total of $4,508.00 and the funds are to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, as consideration for the transfer of the requested right-of-way.
