The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Columbus College of Art and Design asking that the City sell a portion of the right-of-way identified as a 0.132 acre portion of the Kelly Alley right-of-way, between East Gay and East Long Streets. Transfer of this right-of-way will allow for the enhancements of security measures for facilities located on land adjacent to the above noted right-of-way. Per current practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City agencies, private utilities and the applicable area commission, before it was determined that, subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this right-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of this right-of-way. Then Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for this right-of-way. A value of $10,200.00 was established for this right-of-way. A request was made by Columbus College of Art and Design for mitigation of the cost of the aforementioned right-of-way. After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend 100% mitigation of the cost and the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Columbus College of Art and Design at no cost.
