Explanation
1. Background
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, owner of the abutting property, asking that the City allow building elements known as tiebacks to encroach into the public right-of-way known as Parsons Avenue. These encroachments consist of 128 permanent tiebacks underground and shoring to remain but removed at least 5 feet below finished grade into Parsons Avenue right-of-way. The area extending into the right-of-way is approximately 85 feet in width and from the southerly right-of-way line of I-70 to just north of Childrens Crossroads intersection. This project is located at 580 Childrens Drive. This project is a new addition to the hospital’s complex along the east side of Parsons Avenue. These encroachments are located within the right-of-way as described above and within the attached exhibit.
The following legislation authorizes the Interim Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant these encroachments to legally allow them to extend into the public rights-of-way. Allowing these elements to extend into the public right-of-way will allow the building to fit into the desired architecture. A value of $500.00 for the encroachment easement was 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 encroachments.
