Background

The Columbus Development Authority is working with the Housing Authority to

assemble parcels of land located southeast of Benning Drive, north of Melrich

Avenue and east of Victory Drive to be developed as a Walmart Superstore. The

property includes the old Baker High School site which has segments of Levy

Road and Elvan Avenue running thru the site.

Analysis

To assist this development, the City is deleting the segments of Levy Road and

Elvan Avenue as public streets to be disposed of by deeding the street

rights-of-way to the Development Authority.

Financial Considerations

Should the two road segments remain in place, it would prevent the properties

from being assembled to allow this development to proceed.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

The City will not receive any direct financial payment for the streets.

Legal Considerations

The City will receive tax revenue from this development and products sold.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the deletion of the street segments of Levy Road and Elvan Avenue as

public streets and authorization the declaration as surplus for disposal.
