Agenda Report # ___71______



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: Medical Center Property Exchange & Acquisition



INITIATED BY: Engineering Department







Recommendation: Approve the attached resolution authorizing certain

street segments (remnants) be declared as surplus and authorized for disposal.



Background: The Medical Center Authority purchased all properties within

the block bound by 18th Street to the south, Veterans Parkway to the west, 19th

Street to the north and 5th Avenue to the east with the exception of the

Church's Chicken parcel. This property is being rezoned and replatted into two

parcels. One is the existing Hamilton House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

parcel and the remainder will house the new John B. Amos Cancer Center. There

remains several old street segments within this property and the need to clean

up the street right-of-way line along Veterans Parkway and 5th Avenue to a more

uniform measurement.



Analysis: The assembly and replatting of this property is being accomplished

by an exchange of property between the Medical Center Authority and the

Columbus Consolidated Government with the balance of property being purchased

by the Medical Center. Our Property Management Division will introduce a

Resolution after the second reading of this ordinance requesting Council to

approve the sell of surplus property and the acceptance of new property/street

right-of-way. The property exchanges are described by survey plats and

summarized as follows:
