Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Baker Village Street Closing
INITIATED BY: Engineering
Recommendation: Approve the attached Ordinance authorizing street
closures and disposals of streets with rights-of-way for the Baker Village
revitalization project by the Columbus Housing Authority.
Background: The Newton D. Baker Village housing project is being
revitalized into a new housing development similar to the Ashley Station
complex formerly known as Peabody Housing project off of Talbotton Road. The
Housing Authority requested that the existing streets and rights-of-way be
declared surplus and quit claimed to them. They in return, will deed to the
City the new streets and rights-of-way after the revitalization project is
complete.
Analysis: The Baker Village development currently has the following streets
within this complex: Singleton Avenue, Pinta Drive, Circle Drive and Bilbo
Drive which consists of 1.98 acres of right-of-way. The proposed new streets
will include about 3.11 acres of right-of-way. Hence, the City will accept
approximately 1.13 more acres of new street improvements and rights-of-way than
we have today.
Financial Considerations: The City will not incur any expenses in this property
exchange.
Legal Considerations: This action requires Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the attached Ordinance authorizing street
closures and disposals of streets with rights-of-way for the Baker Village
revitalization project by the Columbus Housing Authority.
