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. 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 for the use and benefit of the Columbus Zoo. 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 which was purchased for Zoo operations. 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 the ODOT in exchange for the section of Powell road to be vacated. This legislation authorizes the Zoo to represent the City for the purposes of making certain engineering and design decisions as to the State Route 750 realignment and to recommend to the City and County right of way to dedicate to ODOT for the relocated road.
