Explanation
AN12-001
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN12-001) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days (but not more than 180) from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action within this timeframe, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on March 16, 2012. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on March 19, 2012. Franklin County approved the annexation on April 17, 2012 and the City Clerk received notice on April 25, 2012. Because this site lies within the area covered by the Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan and the companion Big Darby Accord Revenue Program, the City has requested that the applicant enter into an annexation agreement. This agreement, the authorization of which is requested in a separate ordinance, is intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the plan and revenue program.
FISCAL IMPACT: Provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City, however the annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the City.
