1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Hirschvogel Incorporated, asking that the City sell a 0.917 acre parcel of City right-of-way consisting of a portion of the Sixth Street right-of-way, a portion of the Fifth Street right-of-way, the undeveloped north/south right-of-way south of Sixth Street and the undeveloped east/west right-of-way east of Sixth Street, which is adjacent to property owned by Hirschvogel Incorporated. Transfer of these rights-of-way will facilitate the extensive expansion of existing production facilities on property currently owned by Hirschvogel Incorporated, adjacent to the above noted right-of-way, located at 2230 South Third Street. 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 these rights-of-way, the City will not be adversely affected by the transfer of these rights-of-way. The Department of Public Service submitted a request to the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, asking that they establish a value for these rights-of-way. A value of $29,190.00 was established for these rights-of-way. Hirschvogel Incorporated had submitted a request for mitigation of the cost of the aforementioned rights-of-way.
