Explanation

BACKGROUND: The City possesses title to a sanitary sewer easement described and recorded in Instrument Number 198701280062191, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement burdens real property located in the vicinity of 7450 Huntington Park Drive, Columbus, Ohio {Franklin County Tax Parcel 610-205680} (“Servient Estate”) currently owned by Kempton Apartments LLC, an Ohio limited liability company. The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) has reviewed a request by the owner of the Servient Estate to vacate the existing easement and determined that the Easement is no longer needed as the sewer was never constructed. 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.
