Explanation
 
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Nationwide Children's Hospital ("Children's") asking that the City transfer to them those rights-of-way identified as portions of Kennedy Drive, Children's Drive West, Children's Drive and Ann Street and that the City also release the sidewalk easement along Children's Drive West that was granted in an instrument recorded as instrument number 200701120007449.  Sale of these rights-of-way will accommodate continued development of the Children's campus in accordance with their Master Plan.  Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of these rights-of-way, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located therein.  The Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a value of $473,340.00 for these rights-of-way.  Children's has requested mitigation of this amount for the following reasons:
 
1) The identification of improvements that further the general welfare of the City through significant improvements to the physical environment: As a part of the continued development of the Children's campus in accordance with their Master Plan Children's will spend at least $2,000,000 for landscaping, lighting, sidewalks, and other amenities to develop approximately six acres on the north side of Livingston Avenue between Ann Street and Parsons Avenue and extending up the east side of Parsons Avenue to Mooberry Street into a park.  It is the intention of both Children's and the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department that the existing Livingston Avenue Park and this proposed Children's park area function as and have the appearance of one continuous park.  Children's has committed to keep Ann Street and Children's Drive, between Ann Street and Eighteenth Street, open for vehicular and pedestrian access to the park area.  Children's has also committed to keep a minimum of 25 parking spaces on or in close proximity to these former rights-of-way and to work with the City to develop a plan to cause those parking spaces to turn over more often than they do now to try to make those parking spaces more available than they have been in the past for those using the park areas.
 
2) The value of land donations or other services being made to the City by the purchaser:  Children's has agreed that, in order to facilitate the construction of the roadway improvements to Parsons Avenue and Livingston Avenue contemplated by its master plan, it will dedicate to the City, at no cost to the City, the additional rights-of-way needed to complete said roadway improvements from those parcels along Parsons Avenue and Livingston Avenue owned by or legally controlled by Nationwide Children's Hospital (the "Additional Rights-of-Way").  These Additional Rights-of-Way, valued at approximately $70,438, are in addition to those rights-of-way that Children's has already agreed to dedicate in connection with a previously approved amendment to the hospital campus zoning.
 
3) The substantial increase in tax revenue, including but not limited to real property and income taxes, generated by the development of the property to be purchased:  Development of the Children's campus in accordance with their Master Plan will continue for a number of years.  It is estimated the income taxes generated by those engaged in the construction of the Master Plan improvements will exceed $9,800,000 before the development is completed.  
 
4) The value of improvements undertaken by Children's upon property of the City which further the interests and welfare of the public:  Children's is paying for $2,819,000 worth of improvements to the City's South Substation electric distribution system.  In exchange, Children's will only receive the South Substation property, which the County Auditor values at $181,500.  Children's does not and will not receive service from this substation and therefore will not benefit from these improvements, rather these improvements will only benefit the City.  These improvements will significantly reduce the City's operating and maintenance expenses and make it possible for the City to increase sales of electricity.
 
Fiscal Impact:  Based upon these criteria the Land Review Commission voted to recommend those rights-of-way identified as portions of Kennedy Drive, Children's Drive West, Children's Drive and Ann Street be transferred to Nationwide Children's Hospital at no charge.
 
Title
 
To authorize the Director of the Public Service Department to execute those documents required to transfer the rights-of-way identified as portions of Kennedy Drive, Children's Drive West, Children's Drive and Ann Street to Nationwide Children's Hospital, and to release an adjacent sidewalk easement; all at no charge as recommended by the Land Review Commission; and to waive the competitive bidding provisions of Columbus City Codes.
 
Body
 
WHEREAS, the City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Nationwide Children's Hospital ("Children's") asking that the City sell them those rights-of-way identified as portions of Kennedy Drive, Children's Drive West, Children's Drive and Ann Street and to release the sidewalk easement along Children's Drive West granted in the document recorded as instrument number 200701120007449; and
 
WHEREAS, sale of these rights-of-way will accommodate continued development of the Children's campus in accordance with their Master Plan; and
 
WHEREAS, per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon transfer of these rights-of-way, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located therein; and
 
WHEREAS, the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, established a total value of $473,340.00 for these rights-of-way; and
 
WHEREAS, Nationwide Children's Hospital has requested mitigation of this amount for the following reasons: 1) The identification of improvements that further the general welfare of the City through significant improvements to the physical environment; 2) The value of land donations or other services being made to the City by Children's; 3) The substantial increase in tax revenue, including but not limited to real property and income taxes, generated by the development of the property to be acquired by Children's; 4) The value of improvements undertaken by Children's upon property of the City which further the interests and welfare of the public; and
 
WHEREAS, in connection with the conveyance to Nationwide Children's Hospital of the rights-of-way hereinafter described, Nationwide Children's Hospital has made certain commitments with regard to access to Ann Street and a portion of Children's Drive and parking on that portion of Children's Drive, as more particularly set forth in a letter dated October 25, 2007 from Nationwide Children's Hospital to the City; and
 
WHEREAS, as a mitigating factor, Nationwide Children's Hospital has agreed that, in order to facilitate the construction of the roadway improvements to Parsons Avenue and Livingston Avenue contemplated by its master plan, it will dedicate to the City, at no cost to the City, the additional rights-of-way needed to complete said roadway improvements from those parcels along Parsons Avenue and Livingston Avenue owned by or legally controlled by Nationwide Children's Hospital (the "Additional Rights-of-Way"); and
 
WHEREAS, the Additional Rights-of-Way are in addition to those rights-of-way which Nationwide Children's Hospital has already agreed to dedicate in connection with a previously approved amendment to the hospital campus zoning; and
 
WHEREAS, after review of the above referenced mitigating circumstances the Land Review Commission voted to recommend that these rights-of-way be transferred to Children's at no charge; now, therefore
 
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
