Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to reimburse Dominion Homes for plan review fees for the Hayden Run Boulevard improvement Phase 1 in the amount of $17,600.00, and for revisions in the signed plans as requested by the City for $24,400.00. The work is designated as elements HR-2 and HR-3 in the Memorandum of Understanding that was authorized by Ordinance 1433-2004 passed by City Council on November 22, 2004; and by Ordinance 1008-2005, passed by City Council on June 30, 2005, which granted consent and proposed cooperation with Dominion Homes for design services related to the infrastructure improvements.
Hayden Run Boulevard will vary from three to five lanes in width over a construction length of 2,966 feet, and feature curbs, gutters, sidewalks, lighting, signalization and an enclosed storm drainage system where possible. Curb ramps will be installed at all adjoining intersections within the project limits.
At the time Dominion Homes submitted the fees in the amount of $17,600.00, this project was anticipated to be a developer driven project, wherein the City of Columbus would reimburse Dominion Homes for the total cost of the project, including such costs. This project has since changed to a City Capital Improvement project and in this case the fees would not have been required of Dominion. Therefore, Dominion Homes has requested that the City reimburse them for these payments in the amount of $17,600.00.
The plans for HR-2 and HR-3 were signed in 2007. At the time, the two adjacent projects were to be constructed simultaneously, and the Maintenance of Traffic, traffic control, and some drainage elements were designed to reflect this intention. Revisions to these components, and to the design of the pavement composition, required extensive retro-fitting of the construction plans. Therefore, Dominion Homes has requested that the City reimburse them $24,400.00 for this work.
