Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Nathan R. Mellman asking that the unnamed alley east of Ninth Street from Livingston Avenue south to South Lane Street be named Dutch Alley. Mr. Mellman intends to develop a parcel of land owned by Ball Alley Properties, LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company controlled by Mr. Mellman. The property Mr. Mellman intends to develop is located east of Ninth Street, south of Livingston Avenue and north of Jackson Street. This parcel does not abut an existing named right-of-way and in order for Mr. Mellman to obtain a certified address from the City and subsequently develop this parcel it must abut a named right-of-way.
Mr. Mellman has worked with the Historic Preservation Office, the Council of Southside Organizations, and the Schumacher Place Civic Association to determine an acceptable name for this alley. The name, Dutch Alley, was choosen for this alley to honor the early home builders in this area who were of Dutch heritage. All of these organizations have agreed that this name is a fitting tribute to these individuals. In addition, after investigation it has been determined that the naming of this right-of-way as Dutch Alley will not impact the current owners of other properties abutting this alley.
