EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND: The City owns real property located at 2863 McKinley Road, Columbus, Ohio 43204, {Franklin County Tax Parcels 010-153696 and 010-153709} (“Property”). The property is managed by the Department of Public Utilities and commonly known as the McKinley Avenue Quarry. It is further described and recorded in Deed Book 3357, Page 215, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio. The City is constructing a dewatering facility at this site and in order to complete that project the Ohio Power Company, doing business as American Electric Power, (“AEP”) will need to install electric lines and facilities to provide electric service to the Property. AEP now requests the applicable electric utility easement to burden a portion of the Property in order to maintain certain electric facilities and associated appurtenances for the service of electrical energy and impulses to the Property (“Easement”). DPU reviewed the request and supports granting AEP an easement at no cost in consideration that (i) the Easement supports only electricity services to the Property, and (ii), the Easement will be nonexclusive.
