Explanation

Background: The City of Columbus ("City"), the Franklin County Commissioners ("County"), the Columbus Zoological Park Association ("Zoo"), and the State of Ohio, Department of Transportation ("ODOT") desire to relocate a section of State Route 750 (Powell Road) north of the Zoo in order to facilitate the expansion of the Zoo. The proposed highway improvement project will involve an exchange of lands currently held by the ODOT and lands jointly held by the City and the County and currently leased to the Zoo for its use and benefit. ODOT will vacate the existing Powell Road between State Route 257 and the easternmost boundary of the Zoo property. The vacation will allow the Zoo operations to connect to property owned jointly by the City and County lying north of Powell Road. The City and County property held for the use and benefit of the Zoo, and deemed necessary to support the proposed highway improvement will be donated to ODOT. By Resolution No. 0164X-2004, the City authorized the Zoo to represent the City in planning with ODOT for the location and design of the relocated road. The design has been complete and is acceptable to the Zoo. This legislation authorizes the Executive Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to execute those documents necessary to convey to ODOT certain real property interests owned by the City and jointly owned with the Franklin County Commissioners, which are necessary for the relocation of Powell Road.
