Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from The Gravity Project 3, LLC, asking that the City allow encroachments into the public right-of-way. These encroachments are along the south side of West Broad Street, East side of May Avenue, and West side of McDowell Street. This project consist of a 12 story mixed use building with garage parking on the lower levels. There is also an existing building on the site that will remain and be re-purposed as a leasing/amenity space. The encroachments will consist of balconies and foundations that will protrude into the public right-of-way as described below and shown within the attached exhibits. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments to legally allow these private elements to extend into the public rights-of-way. Installation of these building elements will enhance the building and fit into the architectural desire. A value of $500.00 has been established.
2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the requested encroachment easements.
