TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Permanent Encroachment, Litho-Krome Company



INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering





Recommendation: Approve the attached resolution authorizing an encroachment

agreement with the Litho-Krome Company for 1359 - 11th Avenue for an

encroachment of the building onto 11th Avenue right-of-way



Background: The Litho-Krome Company owns the property and building located at

1359 ? 11th Avenue. A recent survey found that the building encroaches onto

11th Avenue a distance of 1.5 feet. The building and said encroachment has

been in place for many years. Litho-Krome Company requested the City to

approve/sign an encroachment agreement that gives legal notice of this

encroachment for the consideration of the sale of this property to others.



Analysis: A review of the proposed encroachment agreement provides the City

the legal right to have the encroachment cleared from the City right-of-way by

180 day written notification to the property owner. Based on this notice, an

encroachment agreement with Litho-Krome is recommended.



Alternatives: Columbus Council has the right to deny the request for an

encroachment agreement.



Financial Considerations: There are no financial expenses to the City.



Legal Considerations: An encroachment agreement must be approved by Columbus

Council.



Recommendations/Actions: Approve an encroachment agreement with the

Litho-Krome Company.
