Explanation
1. Background
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute quit claim deeds and other incidental instruments prepared by the City Attorney's Office necessary to transfer 0.184 acres of existing Right-of-Way to Confluence Community Authority.
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is engaged in the Miscellaneous Economic Development - Confluence Village Public Infrastructure project. The contract work was for the preparation of detailed design plans for public infrastructure which included new pavement, curb, sidewalks, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, street lighting, bridge lighting, street trees, signals, underground electric distribution, underground duct system for private utilities within the Confluence Village site, and design of improvements to the existing railroad.
The Confluence Village Public Infrastructure is a project with Confluence Community Authority (CCA). During the course of design and construction of the project and after the original Columbus Crew Way right-of-way plat was dedicated, it was decided to realign the northern portion of the new roadway. The realignment required an additional R/W dedication from Confluence Development LLC (0.168 acres) to the City of Columbus (shown in green on the exhibit). This 0.168 acre dedication was recorded under Instrument Number 202110070181638 (Parcel 3-WD3). This ordinance is for the transfer of the unused 0.184 acres of existing Right-of-Way (shown in pink hatch on the exhibit) from the City of Columbus to Confluence Community Authority (Parcel ID 010-300553-00). With this ordinance, the City is reserving utility easement rights over the entire 0.184 acres. The Department of Public Service has agreed to waive Land Review Commission for this transfer at no cost.
