"It is pretty much the most ridiculous thing ever," Galloway told WJW. "I don't know who would think this is a good idea. I can't use my property and they lost a building."

The city constructed a storage building for equipment, but part of the structure was on Brett Galloway's property, WJW reported.

Galloway has been working with city leaders since January but discussions ended without a deal. Instead, city leaders decided to cut the building in half and installed a chain-link fence.

Officials plan to tear down the portion built on city land. They are unable to demolish the other section because Galloway would not let them on the property, WJW reported.
