Explanation
1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from Pilot Dogs, Inc. asking that the City sell a portion of the right-of-way identified as a 0.088 acre portion of the Minard Alley right-of-way, between Skidmore and Gift Streets. Transfer of this right-of-way will allow Pilot Dogs, Inc. to re-develop property currently owned by them, and consolidate their operations to one location 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 $3,312.00 was established for this right-of-way. A request was made by Pilot Dogs, Inc. 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 Pilot Dogs, Inc. at no cost.
