Explanation
AN011-003
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN11-003) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that the once an annexation has been approved, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality within 120 days (but not sooner than 60 days) of receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on March 22, 2011. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on April 4, 2011. Franklin County approved the annexation on April 26, 2011 and the City Clerk received notice on May 4, 2011. The subject parcel is located within the boundaries of the 2006 Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan. However, because this is an existing single-family for which annexation is being requested due to septic failure, the provisions of the 2009 Darby Accord Revenue Program will not be applied at this time; the switch from a failing septic system to centralized utilities will benefit the environment and is in the spirit of the Big Darby Accord.
FISCAL IMPACT: The provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City; although the annexation of land has the potential to create revenue to the City.
