Explanation
Pursuant to Ordinance 1902-2002, the City of Columbus granted a joint utility easement across the Scioto River to Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., and to Columbus Southern Power as a part of the Main Street Bridge replacement project. Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., has now chosen to independently cross the Scioto River. Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., has requested a new easement approximately 100 feet north of the original easement and has agreed to release the easement previously granted to them by the City of Columbus. After investigation it has been determined that the granting of a new easement will not adversely affect the City and that there are no objections to the granting of a new easement.
Emergency action is requested to allow Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., to begin the relocation of their facilities without delay thereby preserving the current schedule.
