Explanation

BACKGROUND: Tartan Ridge, LLC, as owner of approximately 190 acres in the City of Dublin, Union County, Ohio (the "Developer"), has requested the City of Columbus, Ohio to execute and sign a petition to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners of Union County, Ohio to create a new community authority under the provisions of Ohio Revised Code Chapter 349 for the benefit of Washington Township in the City of Dublin. The other jurisdictions or entities included within the proposed district or affected by such proposal shall evidence their approval of the creation of such new community authority, which entities include the City Council of the City of Columbus. The City of Columbus is a "proximate city" under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 349 as the largest city in the county adjacent to the authority, with portions of such city being within five miles of the authority, and the City's approval for the creation of such authority is required in order to proceed.

Preparatory to the creation of such new community authority under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 349, the Developer prepared and filed with the Recorder of Union County, Ohio a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the Jerome/Washington Township Fire New Community Authority which sets forth real estate covenants, restrictions, community development, fees and obligations. A proposed petition in its entirety has been presented to the City of Columbus, and explanation of the proposed new community authority has been made to City officers by the Developer and the Developer's counsel, and such proposed petition is on file with the Clerk of Council.

FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
