Explanation
Westbelt Business Park West is a 492-acre site located north of Roberts Road and east of Walcutt Road. In 1980 this property was zoned M-1, Manufacturing District. In 1981 the property was platted and the plat recorded in Plat Book 58, Page 75, Franklin County, Ohio, Recorder's Office. In the plat dedication, the property owner waived and released any right of direct access to Roberts Road and agreed to limit direct vehicular access to three (3) access points along Walcutt Road. As the property has developed the three (3) previously agreed to curb cuts along Walcutt Road have been granted. At this time a five-acre site fronting on Walcutt Road is being proposed for development and one (1) additional curb cut onto Walcutt Road has been requested. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, has reviewed this request and has determined that, pending receipt of a fully completed application, there is no objection to the granting of a fourth vehicular access point onto Walcutt Road across from the intersection of Hilliard Oaks Drive. In order to grant a permit for this fourth vehicular access point, it will be necessary for the Public Service Director to execute a document to be recorded in the Franklin County, Ohio, Recorder's Office that evidences the City's modification of the vehicular access restrictions to Walcutt Road in the Westbelt Business Park West plat from a total of three (3) to a total of four (4) points.
Emergency Justification: Transfer and development of the above referenced five-acre site is contingent upon approval of the additional vehicular access point and the necessary curb cut. Emergency action is being requested to allow the proposed transfer and development of this site to proceed as currently scheduled.
