Recommendation: Approval is requested to declare 7,500 square feet +/-
property behind 4753 Gardiner Drive as surplus and transfer by Quit Claim said
property to the owner of 4753 Gardiner Drive. (see attached map).
Background: The subject property is an over-grown ditch/creek owned by
the City behind Gardiner Drive . The owner of 4753 Gardiner Drive considers
the property a nuisance due to the snakes and rodents on the property.
Analysis: The owner will provide maintenance of over-grown weeds. The quit

top of the bank of the creek. The owner agrees to pay for a survey of the
property prior to transfer.

pursuant to 7-501 of the Columbus Charter because it is no longer needed by the

nuisance to the property owner at 4753 Gardiner Drive.
Legal Considerations: The trees cannot be cut within 25' of the top of the bank
of the creek. Council must approve the transfer of property.
